Kind of slipped into a habbit of having 2 double cheeseburgers in the lunch break on my course on Saturdays, McDonalds is right next door, and double cheese burgers are soo good, plus only something like £2.58 for 2!

So I voted 3-4, :( thats not good.

I voted 5-7, it is probably the lower category but McDonalds is about 30 seconds from my door and I have grabbed a few in a rush etc before.

Reason I buy it? It tastes nice (knowone can tell me different) and its quick with no effort (e.g. fast food, the reason people don't just make their own burgers, its not about value).

Still say the sirloin steak burger from Dallas BBQ in New York was the best i've ever had but nothing wrong with McDonalds in moderation.

Dallas BBQ in NY was immense... sticky wings :)

Younger I would have about 2 a week (Daniel+McDonalds = McDaniel) - but now it's 1 every couple of months
 
I have maybe 1 thing at those places a year if that. Shame as id like to have more but price and distance to them is a issue as i barely go to city centre anymore.

But i will say this.

WIMPYS beats all the rest i loved wimpys when it was in town as a kid delish stuff they had. Went to wimpys at metrocenter once or twice bout 10 years ago when bro worked there so we had a family meal there and we got to see my brother.
 
It's been about 18 months since I've had anything from MacDonald's, and before that one time, about another 18 months.

Really, really don't like it and have only ever eaten there if there is no where else open. :)

Given your well known hate of the giant corporation and evil overlord Tesco is it the food you hate or the success and size of McDonalds you are touting? Everything you have posted in here has been drivel, be it the size of the burgers being smaller, the prices, the fact you "know" that there is other things in the burgers.

Quite where your local McDonalds is I would love to know. Bar the big tasty and legend meals you can get a large meal for well under a fiver. Never been charged for dips either. I dont think many people will dissagree that on the whole Burger King taste better but you pay a decent sum more for it. And as anyone knows KFC > All.

Anyhoo, its not often we visit the big yellow M. Once a month, maybe twice at a push.

After working in a big corporation I know they're not trustworthy and things are rarely done by the book. All they care about is increasing profits by cutting corners. Come work for my store you'll see what I mean.
It's not even the fact it's a big corporation, it's the fact it tastes disgusting. I eat very little in the way of additives and preservatives. So I can taste them a lot more distinctly than people who eat a lot of prepacked rubbish. Maybe it's in the buns or the pickles, whatever, it's there. The burgers are bland anyway.
Bk isn't great in comparison to proper burger joints but it's 1000x better than mcdonalds.
 
When I worked near a Mcdonald's I had one maybe once a month.

I now work out in the sticks and all we have is a farm shop 10 mins drive away. Suffice to say I haven't had a Mcdonald's since.

I dislike it, because it tastes rubbish and does not fill you up. For the same price you can get something far far better. Even a supermarket sandwich is better. Let alone a chip shop or a independent sandwich place.

Name me somewhere I could go in town, where I can get a hot meal and a drink for a fiver (or £3.60 if you go for a cheaper meal) and only take 15 minutes out of my day?

I'll make it easy for you, you can't. The only sandwiches to be had nearby are M&S and they're about £4 before you even think about buying a drink or additional snack.

I love it, because it always tastes nice, one menu fills me completely ( sometimes full even before I finish all the fries) and there is no other place I can get hot food in the 15 minutes ( inc. the 5 mile drive) I have to go from one branch of my work to another. A supermarket sandwich tastes far worse and doesn't fill at all, there's barely any fats/energy in it :confused:. About 900-1000 calories in a couple of supermarket sandwiches for the price of a meal at maccy d's, haha, right... A menu at maccy D also includes a nice cold drink.
 
Let's face it everyone has different tastes - some people like the taste of McD's some don't. We can get into the semantics about nutritional content, satiety but ultimately no one is going to convince one another about the advantages/disadvantages of fast food. If people want nutritional advice and good diet and lifestyle ideas, visit us in the sports arena. :)

Any fish and chip shop, you could get chips +sausage/pasty/other and a drink for £3.60.

Any tesco/supermarket/other you can get a sandwich, crisps and drinks for under £3.60, plenty of independent sandwich places that do hot baguettes again for around 3.50 with a drink
 
Re: FF
Exactly, I just want ''food'' which tastes nice ( I love pretty much all fat, salty and sugary things), is easy to eat ( with bare hands, none of that fork or knife rubbish), is quick to get and has enough calories to stop me from losing weight.

I don't live to eat.
I only eat to live.

It is not as quick and easy to eat as maccy d's.
I cannot eat a whole pack of crisps, a sarny in the time I pick up my meal and drive on to work.

It needs to be quick ( mcdrive usually takes 3 minutes, faster than going to a supermarket, finding a parking spot, standing in a line at the counter, carry back to car, etcetc), eatable within 5-8 minutes while driving, and have at least 800 ish calories to fill me for work.

That's just ridiculous. Chip shop is just as fast as McDonalds. As is any normal shop.

If you want to eat McDonalds, just eat it. You don't need to defend it and come up with silly reasons.

:D

That's where we're different... I live by, "I am what I eat"... but I have a slightly different take on food than a lot of people.

I'd never recommend fast cheap foods to people, but if they want to eat it, it's their call. :) If they want help and advice to improve their lifestyles, but refuse to change their habits, that's when I do start getting grumpy. :p
