McDonald’s general discussion

The worst sauce is the sour cream you get with the chicken select.

It's the only one I like!

Unless you go to McD in the Netherlands where mayonnaise is an option and it's perfect for dunking the fries in.

Best fast food sauce is the KFC supercharger. They used to sell bottles of it, think it was 1L for about £5. Bought it once then they stopped selling the bottles

Best sauce by a country mile is Nando's source l sauce closely followed by peri mayo.

I do appologse... Nandos seem to have bottled sauces in all the supermarkets... and they are just over priced crap with too much oil in them.

Quite a fan of Baconaise but from a fast food chain it's five guys Mayo

I miss the slightly fancier (Signature range?) burgers they did a few years ago, they were almost on par with Burger King.

They did have mayo in our McDonald’s. Can’t remember when

I had a sausage and egg McMuffin for breakfast today. Very good.

Double sausage egg McMuffin is the best thing on the menu tbh, would pick it over a burger any day.

I got a really nice galaxy mcflurry earlier which was awesome

It's amazing the power of marketting and brand power though.

People flock to these places like sheep, and even believe (just look at this thread) that they are getting good for for a good price.

It's pretty sad really.

It's a shame because when you have an already struggling high street, these franchises will put local business under that cannot compete.

Fortuntely not all the country is like this, we spend a lot of time in North Norfolk and there literally isnt a McDonalds or for that matter any of those american chains there, the high streets are much better and the towns are nice places. There are independent firms that are providing better food and supporting the local economy. I am sure there are other parts like this. To be fair there isnt one near where I live either, but I live in the middle of nowhere so that doesnt really count.

There's one in Cromer (Middlebrook Way, Cromer NR27 9JR) but mostly that whole area would probably struggle with an 8 seater café

Generally the High Street has been dying a slow death since the early mid 90's and fingers could be pointed towards the supermarkets and the other giants that moved into area's just outside of the towns and large villages, rather than the fast food giants.

Surely by employing local labour and paying local rates, these fast food places are doing exactly what that 3* place up the road is doing and I've seen many an indie, Gastro and quality restaurant pretty busy and offering "American chains" type food done to a high standard.

Would you queue over an hour to try Wendy’s? https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/25088876/worlds-biggest-wendys-thousands-travel-miles-hull/

I don’t know how many locations they have now. Remember having Wendy’s in central London about 20 years ago.

Tried the one in Portsmouth a month or so ago.
Disappointing. Incredibly slow and an average at best burger. Fries were ok.

The staff were rude and miserable.

A new one opened recently that my brother and I tried. It was busy and we waited about half an hour for our food. It was also expensive. I think more than Five Guys.
When the food came we both thought it looked small but actually, it was very filling.
It’s a bit out of the way for us so not somewhere we’ll regularly go to. It was OK.

 

[Stu999]

McD’s (and BK and KFC) are pretty expensive these days. Paid £6.90 for a McD’s the other day and £8 for a BK, £8.50 for KFC in the last few weeks.

Every time I have a McDonald’s I have to have beef and chicken. I don’t mind which, but it’s usually a quarter pounder and a mayo chicken. I think I have a problem Also an apple pie, have to have an apple pie best thing on the menu!
