For all you Brits: It's the English Happy Meal!
My husband and I were at an Irish Pub at our town today. He and his friend were downing all-you-can-eat fish and chips.

Then we thought: Wow. What if one were to put together an English Happy Meal?

Well, of course, we thought: it would have to be the kids' sized fish and chips.


Every Happy Meal has to have a toy. So why not a little toy double-decker bus?


And what to wash it down with... how about a sippy cup of Guinness?


All for 4.99!

I think it would sell like hotcakes!

1. Gosh! I hope this isn't English-ist!
I don't want to be non-PC, ya know! ;)

2. Hey, I like it!
I haven't been to the UK in a while, though, and wonder if the contents of your happy meal might have to change to match tastes. For example, do you get Asian food, bottled water, and a miniature Damien Hirst work of art in the 2006 British Happy Meal? :evilgrin:

3. All I ate in Dublin was Asian food.
All sorts of Asian food. I was totally vegetarian at the time so it was the one safe bet. In rural areas, well...I was smart enough to keep food in my pack.

4. No, not really. I'm thinking more like a Mr. Bean doll...


All though from what I understand most children go right home and stay in their room, frightened to their very wits afterward.

5. Either that or bangers and mushy peas
With a paper crown.

6. I had bangers and mash once
I almost sent it back because they forgot something.

Flavor.
