When I was a courier and been driving for fifteen hours, and still fifty miles from home, Mcdonalds were an oasis of food, drink, and somewhere to empty your bladder Pixie…
There is always something very disappointing about a Maccas’ meal so I rarely go except when travelling but even then I prefer KFC
I know a few people who have had nasty experiences at KFC Bruce, so I never go near them…
They all start life like in the pic, photoshopped & all, but get ill-treated by those clumsy restauranteurs.
I wouldn’t eat a burger from a roadside van or backstreet caff but these global chains/franchises have a reputation to live up to. I’ve never had a foreign body, chewy or crunchy bit. And re the bun: it’s just some nothingness to hold on to.
My feelings exactly d00d, I don’t eat burgers from Mac’s on a regular basis, but sometimes a big mac just hits the spot… I would prefer one of Meg’s though…
I don’t know if this is true or not I heard it from a friend and she heard it from a friend of a friend.
Anyway the story goes she ordered a chicken fillet sandwich without Mayonaise from a KFC when she got it she thought they had put Mayonaise on by mistake but it didn’t taste like Mayonaise…on closer inspection it turned out to be a sack of puss leaking out of the chicken…I’ve never been in a KFC since hearing that…I feel ill just typing this. Yuk!!
It’s the combo of mayo, pickle, lettuce, cheese & onion that make it! There’s not a lot of meat involved. That’s the difference when eating in a more upmarket joint, their burgers can be an inch thick, too much.
Oh what a wonderful story, I must remember to pass it on … to KFC customers.
This sums it up perfectly as fas as I’m concerned too.
I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a burger-place burger, but it was some time before lockdown.
The favourite in our house at the moment is a buffalo stroganoff burger from a Scottish online butcher and boy are those things gorgeous, but we don’t have them very often.
Though if this weekend turns out as good weather-wise as promised . . . .
No wonder UK chicken and chicken meat products are banned from import to Australia.
It’s not because we don’t chlorine-wash our chicken like you Aussies do then?
Nothing to do with it. You’re confused - The levels of chlorine permitted here are the same as those in potable (tap) water which are the same in the EU and UK. This is not the USA.
I bet it is right Summer, my friend went there one night on his way home from work and had a chicken burger thingy, the next day he was so ill with food poisoning he never went there again. And neither have I…
Fancy that Zaphod…:surprised: I never knew they had Buffalo in Scotland…:shock:
Seriously though… That sounds rate tasty…
Don’t you just love love their pickled gherkins d00d…
Having sampled quite a few Macdonalds specialities over the years, I still think the big mac is one of their finest works…
I’m not confused at all cobber, even when you try evasive action.
Your Aussie chicken ain’t exactly great according to this:
BTW, that report also says: “Chicken carcasses are washed with chlorine to try to control bacteria”.
It’s something that we in the UK do not allow, as I’m pretty sure you know despite your failed attempt to misdirect.
It is, and buffalo meat is a high protein low fat and hence healthier equivalent to beef which actually tastes pretty much the same as beef too.
I can personally vouch for that, and no I am not in any way connected to the farmer/supplier - but heck does it taste good.
I think we’ve got an establishment around here that sells Buffalo meat Zaphod, I’ll put it on my ‘Bargain Bucket’ list…
Perhaps that is why your puss filled chicken is unsaleable Cobber?
BSE for chickens?
