McDonald's


SNSUN

Recommended Posts

Love it? Hate it? For me, it's a rare treat, but just lately I've become nearly addicted to their Breakfast Wrap, despite reading that it's more fattening than a Big Mac.

 

What's your favourite menu item, and how often (if at all) do you feast here?

Used to be something I'd look forward to as a kid. Not anymore. The food is mank and my closest ATM is built into the wall of a McDonalds. Every time I go to draw money out, the smell knocks me sick.

Drove five miles out of my way on the way home from an overnight flight to get a MacDonalds breakfast. Sausage and egg muffins are worth it. Macdonalds gets a lot of bad press press but its marginally better than a lot of of other fast food like Burger King or KFC and no worse than a lot of ready meals you'd find in Tescos. Good choice as a rare treat.

When I was a bit overweight, I used to eat it (although I preferred KFC) but as quite a few of the others have said, the smell just makes me sick; it's all the poorest meats, eggs, potatoes you'll ever find artificially altered and I try my best to completely avoid it these days.

****e food ****e company.

We built a new MC building a few years ago and we were aloud to eat at much as we wanted for free on their grand opening day. I managed one big super duper meal and felt sick afterwards. Had to bin the secong one i had on my tray.

As others said , I cant even stand the smell of the place since then.

Dont mind their shakes , on a summers day.

Double sausage and egg muffin, hash brown and a drink one of my favourite meals going ha. Usualy consumed on the train up to a northern away game. Can't beat a Big mac either.

Agreed there, I even get excited when I know I'm going to get a McDonald's breakfast, ha.

 

Can't beat a McDonald's when you're p1ssed out of your face either. Though if I have one sober I do feel 'dirty' afterwards.

Every morning I always have a McMuffin for breakfast & 30 chicken McNuggets to take to work and heat up in the microwave, on a friday I treat myself to 2 Big Macs.

 

McDonalds is the best food chain out there, and it's not that unhealthy as people make out.

Not really my thing. I remember having a burger from a french McDonalds outlet about 5 or 6 years ago, on the drive back from the south of france. It was ok as i remember, but probably because i was hank fookin' marvin.

 

Don't really like the look of their outlets though and wouldn't choose to buy food from there if there were other options.

The good thing about French Maccie D's is you can chose to have Coke, Fanta, Sprite or a Kronenburg with your meal.

Don't go there very often at all which is good considering I can see one from my living room window and is a 20 second walk away.

 

A post morning surf double sausage and egg mcmuffin does go down well occasionally as well as the double cheeseburgers which are greasy and disgusting but also ****ing delicious.

Being a rep it's so, so easy to fall into the habit of calling in at McDonalds for lunch everyday. They have free WiFi allowing connection to the office, dish out VAT receipts at will and it's very very convenient, essentially grab and go.

 

Generally speaking my colleagues are not healthy. Diet and spending 4+ hours a day behind the wheel will soon see to that. I do enjoy the odd burger now and then (Big Mac and chips with a side order of 6 chicken nuggets...) but I've made recent efforts to curtail the amount of their sh*te I ingest. The upshot of this being i'm now memorising the locations of Supermarkets in the Midlands with salad bars...

Don't go there, haven't done so since 2007 actually (March 28th to be exact, because it was the day my wife, then fiancee, flew to Namibia for 10 weeks and the first thing I did after saying goodbye was go downstairs in Terminal 3 at Heathrow and get a double cheeseburger!), but the thing that winds me up the most about them and some other FF outlets is the way they're trying to portray themselves as being concerned about the environment and the sourcing of their meat, and doing tiny little things to make them look good, when actually they are still a million miles from being even vaguely 'healthy' or sustainable.

I drink a lot of their coffee, its just cheap and bloody convenient when you're driving all day. If someone would open a drive thru Costa in town I would buy shares...

Try not to buy food from McD more than once a week, but I quite like the sweet chilli chicken wraps

If you're ever over in the Western part of the US, you should check out the In and Out Burger ( referenced in loads of movies ). Complete opposite to McD's - they don't freeze anything and all their burgers come from local herds.

i doubt Filet o Fish is eaten much down your way

 

was put off McDonalds when my mate burnt his mouth & face on the puss from a growth in his Mc Chicken sandwich

 

Doubt it was a growth, the chicken in a mc chicken sandwich is processed beyond belief, it gets ground up and reformed in to patties. The chances of a growth surviving the process are very remote.

Generally have one a month at Schipol Airport. Other than that never touch them - have never, ever had a KFC (the stench is just vile) and only occassionally eat BK. Anybody remember the Wimpey in Southampton high street, they used to do a decent burger.

Last Wimpey I had was at Ronhams and that made McDonald's look like a Michelin starred restaurant.

 

You ate a Wimpey home?

 

I miss Wimpy burger joints, even though I only went once a decade and they were always crap. But in a quaint way.

Memories of going there with Dad on a Saturday. Burger and Chips, and a coke. Then to the post office....

The food was edible, but they at least tried to incorporate a few British sensibilities.

 

I can remember when Burger King and McDonalds opening was a big deal in Southampton.

Just thinking about having to eat it makes me feel sick.

Theres so much junk in it that you can leave a burger for 5 years and it wont even rot. The fries you eat could be a year old.

 

Im sure theres something very addictive in it because you keep wanting them when you eat them but get off them and they disgust you. If I have to eat out, Ill have a subway.

The food is very bland, but I have been there quite often when quick food was needed. Just a plain burger though and never fries, there's not too much unhealthy about a lump of beef in a low quality bun.

 

What I don't get though is how, in this day and age, they can still not manage to make passable coffee. Seriously, you can get good coffee everywhere nowadays, how are McDonalds still managing to get it wrong?
