    Have to agree the main day menu is pure trash.

    I am however a big fan of the break fast menu. That has real eggs and they're 'proper' food.

    A couple of Bacon & Egg muffins and a orange juice is the perfect start to the day.

    Not been to McTurds for over a decade - I've actually since gone hungry rather than lower myself to that place. Bleaghhhh!

    Mind you, I've only ever had KFC twice and that was twice too many. There's a reason it comes in a bucket. Unfortunately, last time I ate one I was too sober to be unaware of the taste........

    I've always found the allergy warnings on McDonalds' burgers rather worrying:

    Can't rememer the last time i had McDonalds. I do have a soft spot for Burger King at Waterloo though only when i'm drunk and making my way home late via the train and yes, i do take it onto the train...

    ..oh! the shame :oops:

    which reminds me. I had just finished my BK one time and saw a bloke sitting in the next set of seats wearing a t-shirt that one of my sons has (and likes).

    So i get my phone out, put it onto camera mode and surreptitiously take a picture of him to show my eldest for a laugh.

    Well anyway, who knew that blackberry's have a flash??!!

    I literally cringed back into my seat. Luckily he was about as drunk as me and didn't even notice.

    I may do a BK once in a while, but NEVER a McD. If I need a 'fast food' fix it has to be a shish kebab, lemon wedge or two (lemon juice if no real lemon on offer) in a heated pitta and no salad.

    My reasoning is that a shish is an actual piece of seasoned meat (hopefully lamb, not dog or rat). Not MRM.
    You wait for it to cook, so you know its fresh.
    Lemon for a bit of acid that may kill any bugs (may be bollocks, but seems like a good idea).
    Salad should be washed in clean water. It may not be washed, therefore its dirty. It may be washed in dirty water, therefore its dirty. It may have been splashed with blood from raw meat, therefore its dirty.

    Its not that fast as you have to wait for it to cook, but I see that as a plus point. NEVER rush someone cooking your food.

    Also, it tastes nicer than the bits of hundreds of cows chucked into a mincer, cooked to a time rather than until its ready, smothered in cheap cheese and squashed between two bits of cheap bread. I even eat them when sober!

    Burger King microwave their burgers. The egg is liquid egg from a milk carton. McD's improved the chicken to actual breast in their burgers and nuggets. - worked there at 16-18/19. Then realised 3yrs was too long - I was studying at the time.

    My stomach is still f'ed, I'm gonna have pure ginger tea and failing that go to my Gran for Soup...

    I like the shish and buy extension the (no salad) logic.

    I think, in this age of austerity, that these fast food outlets should be commended for making full use out of each and every one of their chickens/cows/whatever meat source they are using.

    First thing do after a tough climbing trip is to head for McD's - I always have the quarter pounder with fries - last time I came back from the Alps I couldn't get one in Italy so had one at the airport as soon as I got back.

    I expect the same thing is done with cows, to get "beef".

    Did you not see the 'Jamie tries to do his school food thing with fat ungrateful yanks and cries a lot' show lately? He 'mechanically separated' a chicken, ground it into that paste, made nuggets and all the kids said 'yay nuggets' and ate them.

    It doesn't work!

    Oh and I only eat identifiable bits of chicken. Like wings. Chickens have those. I don't know quite which cut the nugget is, but it bears most resemblance to the 'parson's nose'...

    Mrs 66, in a former life, was the chicken buyer for a large supermarket chain. She saw some pretty horrible stuff at factories that was part of the process of producing MRM/MSM.

    Wings are good though. With buffalo sauce (not made with real buffaloes, though, as I understand it. Cheat!) and blue cheese dressing. If the sauce doesn't make your eyes water when you smell it, it ain't hot enough.

    Hmmmm. So you're taking something fatty, coating it in fat, frying it in fat, dipping it in fat and then putting fat on it?

    I can't remember the last time I had either MaccieD's or BK. It always coincides with waiting, whilst drunk, for the last train home from waterloo. Funny that.

    They have the metric system in Europe, so they don't have quarterpounders!!!!!!!
