McDonald’s Opens In Pakistani City Of Quetta, Taliban Calls It “Too Expensive” And Tasteless, “We Don’t Even Consider This Food”…

Via NBC News:
The Taliban now has access to Big Macs and McNuggets.
McDonald’s opened its first restaurant in Pakistan’s western city of Quetta, the reputed home of the fearsome militant group’s ruling council.
But the extremist fighters weren’t impressed — with one telling NBC News “we don’t even consider it as a food.”
All menu items are halal, and there’s even a shawarma-meets-gyro type of wrap to get local tastebuds interested: Behold, the McArabia.
You can get a McArabia for just under $3.00. Add a drink and some fries, and you’re still at under $5.00.
Senior militant commander Ehsanullah Ehsan, who is a spokesman for one of the Taliban factions in Pakistan, laughed when asked Friday for his thoughts on the hamburger chain.
“Hahahaha, so you are asking me about McDonald’s food,” the TTP-JA fighter said. “Yes, I know McDonald’s and its food but we will never eat it. We don’t even consider it as a food. This isn’t our food … We live in the rough, tough mountainous areas and need energy and power to fight against the enemy.”
A senior member of the Afghan Taliban told NBC News he had once tried McDonald’s food in the Pakistani city of Karachi but it was “too expensive” and tasteless. He said that Taliban fighters preferred mutton and rice.
However, he conceded that McDonald’s was “good when you are in a hurry and have no access to proper food.”
“We know it’s an American food company and our religious scholars have forbidden us from consuming any Western food and beverages,” the militant added, saying that he intended to visit the Quetta outlet with friends but would not eat there.
