McD's not loving it

[malumbu]

I was drawn into an ad tonight on the box where a new man moves into the family house and the teenage son resents it. But it all ends nicely in McD's

Rather than put my fingers down my throat I thought I'd rant about it on line.

I have been to McDonalds three times in the last quarter of a century. In 1991 in Budapest as I could get a cup of tea with milk in it. Around the same time in Windsor to have one of their ill fated vegi burgers. And in 2000 I had some curly fries in Mexico City. Now I remember I did have something meaty after a Siouxie and the Banshees concert at the Birmingham Odeon in 1984.

I am not after debate about how unecessarily maligned McDs are (it's just capitalism, we get what we want). I am just interested if anyone in SE London has been there less than me.

What's McDs?

[Loz]

McDonkeys. It's a new chain selling hamburgers they picked up on the cheap.

About three times myself over 30 years and each time I hated myself for it. Fecking disgusting vile rubbery burgers that leave a foul taste in the mouth. I have sworn to myself that I will never visit or eat another one ever.

Sometimes if I'm desperate I'll nip in and use the toilets. That's how I see them; as one big giant toilet. It often feels like something is going to kick off in there. Once, about 14 years ago, my friend drove me to that drive in one near Streatham when I was extremely drunk. I wouldn't eat one sober.

I always resent the impact they had on Viking Burger. Worcester was never the same after their demise.

[bon3yard]

Nowt wrong with a sausage & egg McMuffin but their burgers are the culinary equivalent of licking a toilet seat and paying for the privilege.

One of my cats caught a mouse and ate the top half only

Not sure which one tho

[csaddleton]

I love a big mac personally, yum yum.

[Otta]

I quite enjoy a chicken legend on occasion.

[TillieTrotter]

About twice a year I'll indulge myself. It feels so naughty!

Veggie don't like McD's

Now, there's a shocker !

I had a veggie burger/ fillet of fish in McD's every Monday eve for 10 weeks about 20 years ago- it was the only place to get anything to eat at 7pm in Wandsworth before I started a class. I have never eaten in one since- but I would if I had no other choice. I think I would have greater trust of the hygeine in a Mcdonalds than in some indpendent places. I would not eat the chicken or meat there.

So odd. As if not going to McDonald's conferred moral stature.

It's not food, it's FUEL. Predictable, uniform, fast.

Useful on a late-night drunk when one doesn't wish to provoke multibacterial gastritis with the choices at a scabby kebabi. Useful on a motorway when one is trying to get somewhere quickly. Useful when infanticide looms (for SO MANY REASONS) and one wants to avoid provoking children's finickinesses.

Mickey D is an apple, Simpson's-on-the-Strand, Nobu, Angels and Gypsies are oranges. Sometimes the circumstances call for an apple.

If you can arrange your circumstances so that you never need eat an apple, hurrah! Enviable you. I'll keep at hand my walletful of BIG MAC WITH FRIES ?1.99 coupons from Metro. Just in case.

What Alex K said.

Nigel Slater likes McDonalds, so it must be alright.

[Jah Lush]

How much was Nigel Slater paid to endorse that shit?

Agree, Viking Burgers were the best in Worcester! (Heroes burgers were good too).

[uncleglen]

Went to the one in Streatham about 25 years ago because we took the kids to the ice rink as a birthday treat. Had

some sort of awful dry cinnamon doughnut and a cup of 'tea'. Never been in one since, BK sweet chili chicken wrap

is ok and their 5 bean burger (do they still doit?) without the cheese.

I wonder why the McD in Forest Hill shut down and why no others have?

[Voyageur]

LOVE Big Macs - limit myself to one a year :( Just too addictive :(

[????]

I've had just as shit burgers for 8X the price in plenty of 'gastro pubs'....easy target, once in a while out of pure convenience i'll have one.
