At the moment they are doing and I kid you not, a range of Indian themed "burgers". Lamb Korma Chicken Tikka Masala and another one. Apart from the veggie burger, chicken sandwich and the filet-o-fish which have been around for years and years the non-beef burgers are usually special promotions

dude, you forgot about "the additional application of vacuum, via puckered lips, to glistening posterior orbs". :) ep ps, in catalan "rauxa" (sp?) (wildness/abandon) is contrasted with "seny" (rational sensibility/orderliness). see the intro, or maybe beginning chapter of Robert Hughes book _B
