Poll: McDonalds Gherkins

[Wizzfizz]

Gherkins are disgusting, even more so on a Mcdonalds burger.

Source for this please.

He can't provide it, as it's just not true.

Probably been fooled by the women with some old chips and burgers and surprised they still look normal, yet a uncooked potatoe has rotten. Must be preservatives. be.
It's called cooking and killing bacteria whilst at the same time lowering moisture content, so that it dries out. Most food will achieve this. Take any big standard oven chip which is oil and potatoe and leave it. Chances are it will dry out before going moldy and be "preserved".

None of this Gherkin malarky you guys need to try the Crispy McBacon they seem to do in Malta (and maybe other places in Europe) It's amazing!

Great times, I got too bloody fat though eating all the food. lol

I worked there for four hours, simply could not hack it.

Wrong, the meat is classed as a Preservative there's so much crap in there.

Wrong, the meat is 100% pure beef. They, of course, do not specify which part of the animal the beef comes from, but it is 100% pure.

The main issue with mcdonald's burgers is everything else, the actual meat content is probably the 'healthiest' bit.

the gherkins are amazing, never understood how people don't like them

 

[KNiVES]

Don't eat at McDonald's, you bunch of disgusting fatties. Learn some self-respect.

 

[EdGey]

Mehh...

I'd chomp it it either way, so I voted yes

 

[Mobius 1]

seeing as we have no mcd's, BK or even a subway here, i hammer it when im away


and yes i do like the gherkins!

 

[Kotu]

Gherkin liker here!

I used to work there as well, The only funny business I saw with the food prep was the occasional toasted bun getting dropped on the floor and then being placed back on the burger if the floor had been freshly mopped/dried and there were huge queues, this was a long time ago though.

It was a bit odd being there when the Atkins diet fad first hit, loads of people ordering burgers without the buns, I can understand this semi working with bigmacs, but how do they eat anything else without making a mess?

Like-wise, I never saw or heard of anything nasty going on, though we did sometimes take the mick if someone asked for extra of something.

same here when i worked there, but i did see a guy slip over and put his hand in the fryer to try and grab onto something, ouch!!!!

 

[G-MAN2004]

Horrible.

 

[Resident]

i don't believe there gherkins.... no bs either, someone told me ages ago that there not actually gherkins, cant think of the life for me what he said they were though.

You're correct, they're actually cucumbers. I know this for a fact because I've read it straight from the bag they arrive at the store in.

Also there is no "secret ingredient" in Big Mac sauce. They're listed on the dispensing tube as with all the sauces.

The little dipping sauces are made by a company called McCormick (spl?)

Oh and the price of a large coke? - Almost all profit.

 

[Casdawer]

McD Gherkins are the BEST!

 

[arc@css]

Love gherkins.

 

[Tom0]

I don't mind them and still eat them when they're in the burger, but would rather them not be in there.

Voted no.

 

[Craig1981]

I quite enjoy them, but I can take them or leave them really.
