      kwiktrip’s ‘quarter pound’ burgers aren’t horrible. they have in-store kitchens, so its not the microwave reheated crap like op that many stores have. better than some fast food chains. the paper thin bacon scrap they use on bacon cheeseburgers is pathetic, though.

      I used to work at a mail sorting facility, we had frozen sandwiches like this in the vending machines in the break room.

      I have a specific fondness of the pre made baguettes jambon emmental they have at French has stations. They are not exceptional, but fulfill a certain void in me.

      I somehow doubt American had station food will compare, though.

        The US has a pretty broad range of what counts as a “gas station” Some of them have on-site prepared food that is legitimately pretty good.

        Eeh. It’s the same kind of microwavable chow as they have in Japanese convenience stores - it’s not good, but it’s fine if you’re expecting it.

          I stand by 7/11 onigiri being actually pretty good. I’ve had plenty of worse fast food

            I have had some shockingly decent sushi from 7/11, now that you remind me…

              Yeah, their shrimp and mayonnaise onigiri with an Asahi for under $5 total was just the perfect jet lag food

        You’re probably right, but we do have sushi at our gas stations.

        I don’t really recommend it.
