McDonalds

[papajaff]

I love a McDonald's Quarter Pounder. And not just because of my surname!

Uncle Sam's is fabulous. But the Rolls Royce of Burgers for me is Grubbs. Burger Porn.

An actual piece of chicken fillet in a recognisable meat shape, with some lettuce and mayo - thats ok. I appreciate the chicken was no more than 7 months old when slaughtered, and during its brief miserable life had been pumped up the arse with more chemicals and preservatives than Philip Schofield, but somehow it still tastes alright. And processed white meat always feels vaguely less catastrophic than the industrial gruesome brown/grey gunk McD and BK churn out.

But shit up a stick, its ALL last resort, isn't it ?

Wasted, doing whatever it is you do all day. Totally wasted.

Might want a rethink on their new cups.

Because it tastes better than the gherkin.

Got a batch of £1.99 vouchers out of The Metro last week - Big Mac and fries, Double Cheeseburger and fries, etc, all for £1.99. Not bothering to cook breakfast this week. Delicious! Haven't tried the fillet of fish yet though .....................

Do wish they'd have a doorman to keep the chavs and squealing kids out though!

It's the chavs and the squealing kids that make them their money! Leave your visit until next month and you will be rid of the latter.

Its a bland, boring piece of shit regardless. Lift up the bun and take a look at that gruesome, grey compressed lump of patty. Its "food" Jim, but not as we know it.

Burger King is shithouse as well, there's something not quite "right" about their pieces of congealed lukewarm squashed gubbins. I think the only piece of fast food I find tolerable is a KFC Zinger burger. An actual piece of chicken fillet in a recognisable meat shape, with some lettuce and mayo - thats ok. I appreciate the chicken was no more than 7 months old when slaughtered, and during its brief miserable life had been pumped up the arse with more chemicals and preservatives than Philip Schofield, but somehow it still tastes alright.

Oh don't get me wrong, I know it's ****ing awful. I probably eat from BK or McDonald's about three times a year (in motorway service stations). Always seems like a good idea, it smells nice, and then you eat it.....

It is what it is. Cheap crap. The fact that some people live off this stuff is scary. My only point was that without the gherkins, a cheeseburger or whatever just tastes of NOTHING.

With you on the KFC Zinger btw. It's still shite but at least it is obviously chicken, and tastes of chicken, instead of regurgitated cardboard.

You must be getting up late then.

They only serve that REALLY awful breakfast shit in the morning don't they?

TBF the coffee is decent. Only thing I generally buy from there (Sunday mornings on way to cricket) along with a chocolate muffin thing for the nipper. As good as Costa and half the price.

A Double Sausage Egg McMuffin is the greatest thing on the entire menu. Probably greatest fast food item ever.

Help is available. Maybe hypnosis or something.

Gherkins aside (which is exactly where they belong), I think we hold very similar views then. Its very much last resort 'starving in a service station' or 'drunk on the way home' type fayre for me, and I doubt I have more than 3 a year.

I can vividly remember becoming borderline clinically depressed one evening as I stood in a huge long line for a BK at some far-flung service station, idly contemplating what life choices had led me into such a tragic and desperate state of affairs for me to be waiting around for 20+ minutes in order to stuff a lukewarm slab of unidentifiable congealed processed gunk down my throat.

Bleak.

Nah, not having that. The breakfasts – normally a sausage and egg McMuffin – hit the spot for me. Wouldn't go as far as [MENTION=24107]crabface[/MENTION], but they are good. So's the coffee and the wi-fi. What DOES do my nut in (as mentioned before) is the speed – or lack of it – of service. Absolutely shocking and getting worse.

'Fast' food, my arse!

Crap food for people who don't appreciate food.

I know what you mean. A few weeks ago I was in Scarborough watching the sprog play cricket. Nipped into town to get a coffee and the nearest place, according to my phone, was a McDonalds. Walked in and saw that around 13.00 on a Sunday there were approximately 2500 zombified people wanting to stuff their faces with SHITE so the queues were ridiculous.

Those pre order screen things are clearly pointless as when some 18st moron is trying to order his way to an early death (plus those of his chub faced, pig eyed, Man U shirt wearing offspring), it takes WAY longer than just using words. Even if he is from Barnsley.

I walked straight out as staying in that environment for more than a minute could have turned me full Michael Douglas, went round the corner and found a Greggs. Served in about two minutes, decent coffee and no need for automatic weapons.

Can't use the bus until 9:30 a.m. No problem getting a Big Mac etc. at that time, and it's not too long a wait for breakfast.

Must have changed. As I said, I don't go often!

Tried one last week, they do seem to have shrunk in size though to when l last had one.

Swabs of those screens find, on average, about 20 different samples of fecal matter.

They are the 21st century equivalent of 'peanuts on the bar'.

Sunday lunch at a McD's. Jesus, if it ever comes to that...

A Big Mac at 9.30? thought they were still serving breakfast then. Big Macs, Quarterpounders et al only normally available from 10.30 onwards.
