I don't disagree that it's expensive
McDonald’s general discussion

McDonalds is cheap fast food which is no long cheap or fast. Queue “Back in my day you could get a meal for £2.88”!!!!!!
For the three of us (me, the wife and the boy) cost is:
McDonald’s £20-25
Burger King £30-35
Five Guys £45-50
Given we don’t eat it very often we would go with Five Guys, then Burger King. Mcdonalds is a very distant third, and really only gets eaten if the other two aren’t available.

Might as well go to a restaurant with those prices.
I get McDonald's occasionally, only on the company credit card.

I remember the backs of bus tickets in the you could buy a Big Mac and fries for £1.99 and was valid for 10 weeks of bus journey.
Found a few tickets stuffed down the side of seats.

I nipped in to McDonalds the other day and ordered a quarter pounder meal, ended up with the "Deluxe" version somehow.
It was actually a really good burger, the mustard seemed to have a horseradish mustard hint to it which I love. Looking at the ingredients I can't see any reference to it, but I'm sure it was there.
I'll normally go for a local independent over a franchise though, especially at 5 Guys prices, I can get a better burger for pretty much the same price from 2 or 3 places round here.

Agree about the deluxe, definitely one of the better Maccies burgers. Up there with the big tasty. I’m waiting for them to finally bring out a grand big tasty. That would be a serious fill up.
Wish we could get this one over here…

Is it just me or is there a bit of horseradish to the Deluxe?

I think the last time I went to McDonald's was last century, at least twenty years ago anyway

I don’t think so. I couldn’t taste it anyway. Perhaps they went heavy on the mustard so it tasted slightly different to you

To celebrate going under 85kg today I bought a Hamburger! First one in a long time.

The coffee is actually pretty good, and every 8 or so coffees via the App you effectively get a free double cheeseburger. With the recent changes to the buns the double cheeseburgers are a pretty good snack. The main downside is having to visit the establishments, which are ran by chavs, filled with chavs and generally a depressing place to be.

Nearest to me kicks them out and does not let them sit without buying.
Last time the cleaner did so and the manager walked around apologising that we had to witness it, not that anyone was upset tbh.

I am still on a diet....actually did it during my walk (which burnt 220 calories), this burger is 248 calories....with cheese it is 298 calories. lol
I am still watching what I eat....but the best part is the pickle for me.

At least that burger is a sensible height so you can bite it, rather than those idiotic things stacked 6+ inches high

Definitely mis-remembering, it has always been a little slight rectangle about 3"x2.5" with a half slice of cheese, tartare sauce on a steamed standard hamburger bun.
No.
