Fast Food Rockers
The Fast Food Rockers were a British pop group known only for their novelty music.
The band claimed to have met at a fast- food convention in Folkestone in summer 2003.
Fast food
Fast food is a type of mass- produced food designed for commercial resale and with a strong priority placed on" speed of service" versus other relevant factors involved in culinary science.
Fast food was originally created as a commercial strategy to accommodate the larger numbers of busy commuters, travelers and wage workers who often did not have the time to sit down at a public house or diner and wait for their meal.
By making speed of service the priority, this ensured that customers with strictly limited time( a commuter stopping to procure dinner to bring home to their family, for example, or an hourly laborer on a short lunch break) were not inconvenienced by waiting for their food to be cooked on- the- spot( as is expected from a traditional" sit down" restaurant).
For those with no time to spare, fast food became a multibillion- dollar industry.
In 2018, the fast food industry was worth an estimated$ 570 billion globally.
The fastest form of" fast food" consists of pre-cooked meals kept in readiness for a customer's arrival( Boston Market rotisserie chicken, Little Caesars pizza, etc.), with waiting time reduced to mere seconds.
Other fast food outlets, primarily the hamburger outlets( McDonald's, Burger King, etc.) use mass- produced pre-prepared ingredients( bagged buns& condiments, frozen beef patties, prewashed/ sliced vegetables, etc.) but take great pains to point out to the customer that the" meat and potatoes"( hamburgers and french fries) are always cooked fresh( or at least relatively recently) and assembled" to order"( like at a diner).
Although a vast variety of food can be" cooked fastfast food" is a commercial term limited to food sold in a restaurant or store with frozen, preheated or precooked ingredients, and served to the customer in a packaged form for take- out/ take- away.
Fast food restaurants are traditionally distinguished by their ability to serve food via a drive- through.
Outlets may be stands or kiosks, which may provide no shelter or seating, or fast food restaurants( also known as" quick service restaurants").
Franchise operations that are part of restaurant chains have standardized foodstuffs shipped to each restaurant from central locations.
Fast food began with the first fish and chip shops in Britain in the 1860s.
Drive- through restaurants were first popularized in the 1950s in the United States.
The term" fast food" was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam – Webster in 1951.
Eating fast food has been linked to, among other things, colorectal cancer, obesity, high cholesterol, and depression.
Many fast foods tend to be high in saturated fat, sugar, salt and calories.
The traditional family dinner is increasingly being replaced by the consumption of takeaway fast food.
As a result, the time invested on food preparation is getting lower, with an average couple in the United States spending 47 minutes and 19 seconds per day on food preparation in 2013.
Kushi (song)
" KushiKhushī") is the first of single of Bombay Rockers from their second album" Crash And Burn".
It was released in 2006.
Kushi was a hit track that sold over a million copies in India and Denmark.
Fast Food Song
" Fast Food Song" is a song made famous by the British- based band the Fast Food Rockers, although it existed long before they recorded it, as a popular children's playground song.
The chorus was based on the Moroccan folk tune" A Ram Sam Sam".
It mentions the fast food restaurants McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut.
It was released in June 2003 as the lead single from their album" It's Never Easy Being Cheesy".
The song was highly successful in the United Kingdom, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the Scottish Singles Chart.
The song also achieved minor chart success worldwide and reached number 24 on the Irish Charts and number 56 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.
The song was co-written and produced by Mike Stock.
The song is mildly controversial for supposedly promoting the excessive consumption of fast food by children, which is why some UK- based radio stations will not play the song when it is requested.
The original version of this song was written and recorded in Dutch by Eric Dikeb, called" Pizza- ha- ha", even though it is better known as" De Pizza Hut".
The fast food song is only one of the many adaptations of the Dutch original.
other versions include" De Pizzadans", recorded by Dynamite, which was a hit in Belgium.
An English- language version has also been recorded by Eric Dikeb for the Philipenes market, in support of a local charity.
The Fast Food Song has also been used in many advertising campaigns in the United Kingdom, for fast food restaurants, especially around the time of the release.
Many people have seen the song as promotional towards the chains, and see it as more of an advert than a song.
The band are widely considered to be one- hit wonders, though their two follow up singles" Say Cheese( Smile Please)" and" I Love Christmas" both achieved moderate success in the UK Singles Chart reaching numbers 10 and 25, respectively.
One version was written for Butlins, where the lyrics were changed.
Fast food restaurant
A fast food restaurant, also known as a quick service restaurant( QSR) within the industry, is a specific type of restaurant that serves fast food cuisine and has minimal table service.
The food served in fast food restaurants is typically part of a" meat- sweet diet", offered from a limited menu, cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot, finished and packaged to order, and usually available for take away, though seating may be provided.
Fast food restaurants are typically part of a restaurant chain or franchise operation that provides standardized ingredients and/ or partially prepared foods and supplies to each restaurant through controlled supply channels.
The term" fast food" was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam – Webster in 1951.
Arguably, the first fast food restaurants originated in the United States with White Castle in 1921.
Today, American- founded fast food chains such as McDonald's( est. 1940) and KFC( est. 1952) are multinational corporations with outlets across the globe.
Variations on the fast food restaurant concept include fast casual restaurants and catering trucks.
Fast casual restaurants have higher sit- in ratios, offering a hybrid between counter- service typical at fast food restaurants and a traditional table service restaurant.
Catering trucks( also called food trucks) often park just outside worksites and are popular with factory workers.
