McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

Chicken Selects (i.e. actual chicken tenders, not whatever McNuggets are) were really good but they've been off the menu for years.

I thought they were way too salty and greasy.

I had a McRib last week and it was shit. Patty was weirdly mushy, sauce wasn't particularly pleasant, somehow they made raw onions flavourless.

Every time Maccies do one of these specials I for some reason buy one, and every time it is a bitter disappointment.

In the spirit of The Donald working at Maccies, I'm hoping next general election here we get Nige behind the bar in Spoons

ngl they should really just have a proper BBQ cheeseburger at this point or I guess order a Quarter Pounder with no condiments and add BBQ sauce separately. That mogs the shit out of a McRib any day of the week.

I've tried a few fast food burgers for the first time in a long time, KFC has been 20 years, Burger King 10 Mcdonalds a few years (at a guess).

I must say that while it's all goy slop the Mcdonalds burgers are by far the worst out of them all. The BK burgers at least have more flavour from the sauce, the KFC burgers have a bit more too them. Mcdonalds is either dry and tasteless or it tastes of that yellow sauce and a single gerkin.

Anyone have any opinions on which president is going to be better for the future of McDonalds? Serious question. I know trump did the whole stunt a week ago but I'm talking about economically. I might go vote today based on that.

I'm hoping we see more LTOs moving forward. The Chicken Big Mac, I know everyone wants to talk shit, but it's good. It's creative, and it got people talking. I hope the backlash didn't scare them away from doing more of that.

It's the best value for fast food right now, 2 sausage biscuits for under 3 bucks. Been doing that every morning. I go and grab a fish sandwich or a mcdouble for lunch. Honestly I'm never disappointed. I really want to see them succeed.

Trump, and not because of the stunt.
But because of his plans to bring back the economy.
I just hope they lower prices again.

in my opinon at least, the worst RFK will do is make them get more expensive ingredients that aren't as bad for you, kind of what Europe already does, as far as economy, as to what itll do for prices I don't know

Well I had all three of the new whoppers yesterday here are my thoughts:

First off these are about 7 bucks each. It's a sad state of affairs I know. But I couldn't turn them down. Got some onion rings and a coke as well. About 30 bucks for dinner but thats normal for me.

Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper: Theyre selling the fried pickles from these as a side and honestly just get that. Not to say this was bad of course, I could see myself craving one at some point. But the only flavors going on here are ranch and pickle... these are the shittiest freezer fried pickles of course. Almost feels like they're made entirely of God damn pickle peels that were left over from something else and then fried. It's Burger King though so I wasn't really expecting much better than that. Ok so this one tastes like a whopper with bacon ranch and pickle, if you like that check it out.

Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper: This one's my favorite, and it'll probably be everyone's. This is your standard BBQ burger, and it's a good one. Fried jalapeños, maple bacon, fried onion straws. All the good stuff. The BBQ sauce here as the name implies is a SUPER sweet one. The bacon is probably also helping with that. Youve also got that slight alcohol flavor in the back of the sauce which i think goes well with the super sticky sweet BBQ flavor they have going. And that sweet flavor i think compliments the weird smoke taste whoppers naturally have. Will definitely be getting three of these next time. If that super sweet BBQ is not your thing I wouldn't reccomend it. The bourbon flavor is noticeable. Reminds me of when Burger King did their beer cheese Whopper. Craziest thing they've ever done. A real beer burger. Loved it.

Mexican Street Corn Whopper: So they went with two safe ones I'd say and this silly one... I got the bag in my car and I was like God damn it smells like taco bell in here! And yep that's it. Just tastes eerily like taco bell. Don't know how else to describe it. Specifically like biting into a crunchwrap Supreme. If that sounds interesting I guess go try it, for the meme. But really this one wasn't something I'd have again. Now I like taco bell but if I wanted taco bell I'd go get some God damn taco bell lol.

Hard to place these. I guess the BBQ one is legit good. They did some other Candied Bacon Whopper recently that I REALLY liked. Say what you want about food fads but anything sweet on their patties is just an instant classic for me. But this new BBQ Burger hits the same highs as that. The fried Pickle one could be a hit for the right person, not me though. The Mexican one is more a novelty, definitely not craving one ever again.

I bought it for the first time in almost 5 years the other day mostly as a meme since trump did that McDonald’s stint. It wasn’t great and I would not order it again tbh. The entire time I just wished I had gotten Wendy’s or 5 guys or just made my own fries and burgers. Even the nuggets were inferior to what I can get at the frozen sections of my local groceries

Their coffee is ok tho.

I also did that after the stunt, granted I got my regular order which is two double cheese no mustard and a medium fries (large if I feel like treating myself). I only go there rarely but when I do I go all out.

In my experience (a long time ago) McMuffin eggs are made fresh from actual eggs (species unspecified), scrambled is made using homogenised egg from a carton.

This was the case during my McDonald's career in the 90s.

McMuffin rounds were cracked from real eggs into rubber stencils on the stainless steel burger grill.

Scrambled eggs were poured liquid from a carton on to the same grill into a square mould that had to be shaken back & forth to achieve the right texture.

I was late 90s and it was much the same, round eggs into (teflon?) rings then a steel lid placed over the top with some water. Scrambled egg device I used made 4 at once iirc.

I've had some bad McMuffin eggs before and I'm not sure if this is true everywhere but they have come out practically boiled before with all the defects that accompany that (including a point where the yolk turns bluish and has a bad "aged" taste).

I have no idea how you fuck up a fried egg with steam into a flat boiled egg but they managed it.
