McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

CFA sauce has a bit of a smokier/hickory flavor to it. Mac sauce just tastes like Thousand Island dressing to me
CFA sauce tastes like mayo with some kind of honey mustard in it.

Originally, Big Mac sauce was a ripoff of Big Boy sauce (because the Big Mac is just a ripoff of the Big Boy) and it was created by combining red hamburger relish with mayo. So while close to Thousand Island, not quite. The sauce McDonald's uses now is probably some factory produced shit so they may have just changed the recipe so who knows.

I have this cookbook that is of a dietician’s interpretation of “lighter” versions of fast food classics. It contains recipes for both sauces iirc, but basically stated that Big Mac sauce was basically thousand island dressing with a little something added.

(That is actually a decent “diet” cookbook, I’ll say. There is even a copycat McDonalds fry recipe in it. It’s called Fast Food Fix by Devin Alexander.)

I personally prefer Chick Fil A sauce. I love that smoky taste to it.

Always a crapshoot in quality whenever I go, it's either really fucking good or the pavement apes in the back are high off their asses on bath salts and throw it at the wall before putting it in the box. Big Mac always comes with way too much fucking shredded lettuce. I used to just get a double cheeseburger and small fry from the $2 menu but now that's dead and buried. McFlurries are really good, they had a Rolo one a few years ago that was amazing. Their breakfast is also pretty good but with jew-tier prices. Frappes are excellent and I find it hard to stay away.

Protip: Order a burger but ask for a minor revision on it (light/extra condiment), that way they have to make it right when you order it instead of taking one of the dozen premades that have been thrown together with the care and grace of a gorilla on amphetamines and it is much cleaner and fresher.
 
I find it funny, on youtube there is one guy who owned a store, and his videos are so professional they use them as the training video, and then you get the aforementioned employees that are visibly struggling to breathe fail to make a basic hamburger, and complain about their boshit jobs.

BTW: They get around "make it fresh" orders by scraping shit off. It's not the lifehack you think it is.

I think I read somewhere that CFA sauce is a lot of blended, pre-existing sauces. I think it might be some sort of mustard, mayo, and barbecue sauce.

Talking about sauce, I figured out what their breakfast sauce is made of.

McDonald’s Breakfast Sauce is created of mayonnaise, yellow mustard, lemon juice, steak sauce, dill weed, salt, and pepper.

They add way too much into the sandwiches. It's a tangy mayo with pepper in it.

I last had the breakfast sauce with the bagels. Definitely mayonnaise-based but I couldn't detect what that other dominant flavor was. Maybe it WAS steak sauce, but I never trust these knockoff recipes.

Whenever I see a McDonald's there are generally one or two immensely fat guys leaving with their orders (I'm talking Boogie sized fat, not just slightly overweight).

I can't comprehend how you can even get so fat by eating there - McDonald's aren't exactly generous with their portion size. (I suppose it's "Gimme 10 Big Macs and 8 Turkey twizzlers on the side", but eating that in one go would get straight out revolting)

The one time I went there to eat I wasn't impressed - the chips (US: fries) tasted like they had been made with potatoes that were glassy (I actually don't know English for this so it's a transliteration from German - if you freeze and thaw potatoes their starch alters and tastes peculiar when cooked)

The manager of the place claimed this is how this was some unique McDonald's flavour (and that he'd take them if I didn't want them).

I found the place a waste of money, but I suppose the quality varies from country to country.

Indeed, McDonalds fries are fried from frozen. Now, if you leave them for slightly longer than when they are supposed to they come out amazing. The issue is that since they switched to vegetable oil from tallow, they get soggy and shitty very quickly after cooking. But those couple minutes after they're out? That's what the average McDonald's consumer remembers.

PS- anyone else see the Grimace promotion stuff? Pretty sure the shake is just vanilla dyed purple, but I'm happy to see McDonalds doing something other than rapper meal promos for once.

Didn't know that, I was under the impression that that guy was bullshitting me. They were probably undercooked in my case, then.

For clarification, is tallow animal fat, usually from pigs? (We call that "rendered lard" here)

All of the fast food outlets here besides KFC use sunflower or soybean oil. (KFC uses coconut oil for some reason).
 
McDonalds is the true litmus test for inflation tbh. 10 years ago I could get a McChicken and a McDouble for $2, making a delicious McGangBang that McFilled my stomach for the day as a broke young lad. Now? They're slightly smaller and costs $5. A 250% increase from just 10 years ago!

The death of the dollar menu was truly the death of the American spirit.
 
The gay ass Loki season two tie in is so embarrassing, even more so than the meals based on D-list rappers I'd never heard. A promotion based on capeshit that isn't even out yet, with a pretentious "As Featured In" name for a combo that's just a meal with nuggets or a burger with a sweet and spicy sauce. (With gigantic LOKI™ branding on the pack)

I know Marvel consoomers are going to lap it up regardless


EDIT: I was mistaken it's literally just the sweet and sour sauce with a different label, what the fuck
