I fail to see how it could be a treat. For us it was more like a
desparation meal. Something didn't go right at home with the meal, like the
sweet and sour liver with pineapple chunks and we didn't have enough money
to go to a real restaurant. Or we were out on the road, needed to eat and
nothing else was available. My parents also did get me McD's when they got
pizza although I'm not sure why because I really didn't like it. Hated
pizza but discovered when I was older that what I hated was the kind that
they got which was sausage and black olive. It was just sooo greasy and I
don't like greasy food!

I prefer oven roasted.
