This is how successful the thread has been. Oh well, it'll be floating around for a while.

I'm looking at becoming a burger van man for a year if I fail my course. What does /nom/ think about this - what should the ultimate burger man sell?

>>1748

Drugs

>>1749

Interesting, interesting.

Also 1750 get.

What's "pure" about a fast food van? They're filthy, greasy wrecks generally driven by disgusting father-son acts who would've been gypsies in another life.

>>1752
I agree with you. They fucking ming. I suppose there could be a new market for fast-food vans that somehow sold really fucking good food, but I doubt it. It would ultimately always depend upon where you park the fucking thing and by the sounds of it, that takes mucho licenses and local authority dollars.

Funny you should mention this. Where I live some years ago there was a fine Turkish gentleman who had a big red van from which he sold kebabs and other culinary delights. Obviously, he got most of his sales as the pubs were closing. 'Harry's Kebabs' his van said. He'd do no good now, as we have now have our very own kebab shop.

Turns out he was also selling weed and got busted.

I used to have a fish and chip van stop right outside my house every thursday. was epin!

Ahahaha, thank you so much for posting this.

What would you /nom/inate to be on britfa.gs' burger van menu?

PORK PUNISHMENT

A van called grill on the hill or something similar, near the trainstation in a local town. The guy who works there is rather weird and sings frank sinartra at the top of his lungs all the time. But damn they be some nice brugers.

You seem like the filth to attend such vans.

They vary at least as much as the chippies and other takeaway places. I've known some very good ones that turn up at outdoor events and I've seen some poor ones that served food no better than a bad to average school cafeteria. Thankfully I've yet to see one that seemed filthy.

A fine accompaniment to the ice cream vans. I remember there was a bakery van (also sold some sweets) that I visited when at school. It used to stop near the school at break times.

Getting good venues, routes, lay-bys, regular customers and so on would be one of the main concerns, along with serving food that people would actually want to buy twice.

Back in my day lad, There was a van that went round selling fresh vegetables. I doubt such a venture would be viable today due to silly health and safety laws and extortionate 'licences'

>>1811

We had a fish man who came round from Port Isaac on Thursdays with his catch.

Mother would buy some whiting for dinner (like cod but cheaper), and if it was holidays, some dressed crab for delicious crab sandwiches for lunch. He did fresh farm eggs too, and we saved up eggboxes to give to him.

There still are veg and fish vans that come to my town.

We still get fish vans coming down from Arbroath, but I remember there used to be a butcher van that frequented my childhood street and had the best mince round ever.

As for fast food type vans, there are two that visit my workplace (very large workshop, so plenty of business) and both are rather nice.

>>1811

There's still a butcher's van that comes here. I doubt vegetables would be a problem then.

I would willingly pay an extra quid for fish and chips in the BANNED newspaper. I have been known to do it manually after going to the chippy.

The very first thing I ate this year was a fanastic, delicious cheese burger covered with BBQ sauce, purchased from a kebab trailer on the way back from a nightclub after ringing in the new year.

Say what you will about kebab shops and vans, but they are absolutely vital when real food is an hours walk away.

>>1827
You sir, are speaking my exact mind. Can anyone think of a person that died from having fish n chips out of newspaper? For me its not the same anymore since it was banned. Live abroad and used to love carrying home my fish in a newspaper.

>>1879

Newspaper is banned? My chippy still uses it.

They fill up a bag of chips, put them on the newspaper, rip open the bag, put more chips in and add salt and vinegar, then wrap it up in newspaper.

>>3154

You are going to die of AIDS.

>>3154

Everyone knows that ripping the newspaper releases the AIDS toxins

Double cheeseburger, extra onions for 2 quid.

They fry everything, even the bun.

Burger vans are fine if you want to pay often extortionate prices for burgers which have less meat in and lower quality than ASDA Smartprice burgers. That doesn't stop me eating them though, just as I still smoke.

When i was about 12 i used to get a tray of chips from a van when i used to go to carboot sales with my gran.

>>3163

Gripping tale, lad.

It was a roller coaster ride full of thrills from the beginning to the end.

I used to have a fish and chip van come and stop outside my house every Thursday, always being chased by kids after scraps... which he'd give them for delivering food to houses.

Shit was awesome, though fuck driving round with a vat of burning hot oil in the back all day

>>3166 sage because I just realised I made the same post about a month ago... fucking aids
