I'm a fan of a Big Mac, the taste is just amazing. The other burgers are pretty average imo.

We regularly go probably once a week at least, the service is pretty good too fast and efficient.

KFC on the other hand is nice, but the service is hit and miss, iv been to a KFC before and its taken 30 minutes to get my order.

If we go Burger King it has to be the Double Cheese Bacon XL.

Lately my only call to McDonalds is the coffee!

Best coffee you can get for your money, in my opinion obviously!

Their coffee, for the price you pay, is quite decent. I still prefer Nero as my go-to Coffee of choice out of the chains but McDs is great for what you pay

Another vote for McDonald's coffee, it's not bad at all.

100% arabica beans, freshly ground. I find it quite harsh if it's black. We do sell loads of it though.

I prefer the 1/4 with cheese if i eat there, too much bread in a BM.

That is NOT good for you or your family.

One McDonald’s a week is fine as long as you eat well in general.

A McDonald's a week is not going to have any significant impact on a generally healthy diet.

The occsaional guilty pleasure would be an extra plain bacon double cheese burger.

So thats... Bottom bun > burger > cheese > burger > cheese > bacon > top of bun.

Always ends up being cooked fresh, and is just right @ £2.

I fear the correlation though, if you eat at McD's once a week then there liekly isn't a healthy diet the rest of the time.

That's a rather massive assumption?

Hardly. If someone eats a fast-food once a week they have already made the decision not to cook a fresh homemade meal or eat a balanced meal 1 day in 7. That is pretty atrocious ratio.

Bounce · 12 Nov 2019 at 09:38

I cant see that eating McDonald's once a week is going to kill me.

Isn't the rule everything in moderation?

It's only 1 meal out of 21, less than 5% of the time if you think about it that way.

yes I agree, plus if you are in the habit of homemade meals (... you have to prioritize diet in your lifestyle), then McD becomes an anathema wrt to representing an appropriate meal.
I cycle within 50m from a KFC / McD nest most days .. the unhealthy frying smells in the air, remind me, everytime, why I wouldn't want to visit either. ... sort of aversion therapy, definitely not a siren's call.

edit : and won't someone think of the calories~~children~~ too, what's the minimum a visit incurs ?

I love burgers and make sure I have one at least once a year.
