The Reviews of Shit Fast Food Thread

I customise to no pickles and extra mustard, generally pretty good although sometimes a little sloppy mustard action though!

Seems like it's Schrodinger's hat trick then. Either amazing or terrible.

Taking the gherkins off your burger should be a crime punishable by death.

Deliveroo, etc. customers seems to have priority these days. The majority of the kitchen in my local McDonalds is dedicated to fulfilling online orders now.

There's even a special entrance for drivers - presumably to prevent a permanent gaggle of drivers floating around the counter - which seems academic to me, because the counter is rarely manned now anyway. Placing a face-to-face order with a member of staff is far quicker and easier than the touchscreen... but as you say, McDonalds is far from "fast" food these days.

So given the choice of travelling to a restaurant and being treated as a second class citizen, or paying double for a cold burger to be delivered, I've decided to stop eating McDonald's, despite really enjoying their burgers and sausage & egg McMuffin meals.

Usually when I'm too lazy to cook and too tired to contemplate how I terrible I will feel afterwards.

Never go full ecosse.

Woke up feeling shite - self-imposed - didn’t get in bed until 1.30 due to teenage levels of late Xboxing - so it’s been a Maccies breakfast today.

Bacon roll (w/ketchup) meal with a hot chocolate and melon bag.

The bacon roll is realistically terrible food but can always hit the spot when feeling below par, as it’s more sugar than bacon.

Also chucked in a cheesy bacon flatbread chaser - basically the same shite water thin streaky bacon as above, but with a layer of processed Kraft style cheese folded in a flatbread wrap. Again, objectively shite but pure comfort for a rough morning.

The real surprise is the drink - I’d already had two coffees this morning and fancied a change. The hot chocolate I’d actually prefer to be more bitter usually but it’s a total welcome sugar rush this morning. But it’s got me wondering who does the best hot chocolate on the high street now…

EG style non-entity score attached

Noooooooo, the MSG!!!

McDonalds fries are for me just still the best around (if fresh...). And for something like a quid, a McDonald's burger is just incredibly good value. (I ask for double ketchup and mustard so it's fresh, and saucy).

I'd probably prefer a Five Guys trip vs a McDonald's trip (and I would never order McDonalds for delivery, as it returns to its cardboard origins within 2 minutes), but McDonald's is much faster, much cheaper, and less messy. So it has its place...

Unless it was over the course of say, noon to into the evening, I genuinely couldn’t handle six pints of Guinness anymore. I’d be comatose and dying of inhaling my own sick. Good going. Combo of mates dispersing and Covid induced change of habits has basically removed my resistance.

How do people order these convenient McDonald's breakfasts? I live 15 mins walk from a McDonald's but I wouldn't consider driving or waking there convenient.

When I order online it's eye-wateringly expensive and usually arrives cold.

Guinness is one of those danger drinks that are so easy to drink it's easier to get carried away. Got married in Ireland with Guinness on tap, the shit the next day was an experience.

I like McDonalds breakfast, bacon and muffin, hash brown, surprisingly decent coffee.

It's not the best out there but it's cheap, and better than, say, the breakfast offerings in Greggs

I have never tried one.

How hard is it to make your own bacon butty or get one from a cafe/greasy spoon? Although, that question could also be applied for their burgers, but I don't mind having them, so...
