that was an html attempt at striking through "Indian"

very edible. "digestible" is another story. good for you, of course not.

i could talk about the chicken nuggets all day, compose symphonies for the fries, dedicate poetry to the egg mcmuffin...

The bacon egg & cheese biscuit tastes like heaven, but always makes me feel like hell. Not even an immediate tooth-brushing can erase the greasy leftovers from my tastebuds.

Nothing else there is even remotely edible.

There's really a unique kind of stomach-sickness that McDonald's beef gives you. It's not just that normal hamburger "I have a brick in my stomach" feeling - it's more like "I have still wet cement in my digestive system and it's beginning to harden and block off my intestines"

That's exactly the feeling that poutine gives me. I wish Big Macs did the same, but unfortunately we make a date every so often.

eating a McGriddle is like swallowing a suicidal teenager's cry for help

I never eat their breakfast. There's Hardee's for that kind of tasty self-abuse.

Last time I had McDonald's was last year in Sweden. It tasted...fresher?...than US McD's food. Still - that was the last time and only out of necessity (on the road travelling and no other food venues in sight).

Jay Vee's Return (Manon_69), Friday, 22 September 2006 03:20 (seventeen years ago) link

McD's should just McGriddlize everything by stamping their corporate logo in it, and give you the "breakfast" option for all burgers by topping the burger w/margarine + syrup. Then they wouldn't have to worry about two different menus.

mcdonald's hash browns + sausage biscuit + ORANGE JUICE = my ideal breakfast, pretty much.

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 22 September 2006 05:18 (seventeen years ago) link

the heck is a sausage biscuit? i don't understand this crazy terminology

electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Friday, 22 September 2006 05:22 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a sausage patty placed between two slices of - well, biscuit. now that i'm describing it it does sound pretty weird but it's GREAT!

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 22 September 2006 05:24 (seventeen years ago) link

why is their o.j. so good? also, coffee. the rest blows. chicken fries > mcnuggets.

fauxhemian (fauxhemian), Friday, 22 September 2006 05:35 (seventeen years ago) link

must try this sausage biscuit.

fauxhemian (fauxhemian), Friday, 22 September 2006 05:35 (seventeen years ago) link

(jim, biscuit is like a savory scone. a more lively damper, if you will.)

Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 22 September 2006 05:45 (seventeen years ago) link

the chicken selects are pretty good! with the spicy chipotle bbq sauce.

and then the new $1.39 snack wrap (chicken select, lettuce, some mayo'y/ranch'y sauce, maybe some shredded cheese - wrapped in flour tortilla) is also nice! cheap afternoon snack'y thing. yum.

im in istanbul now and went into the mcdonalds to get an ice cream cone, and the menu had a McKebab thing, but why would anyone get a McKebab when you can get a real kebab next door, or two doors down, and also three doors down for i think about the same price?

phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 22 September 2006 05:56 (seventeen years ago) link

And presumably 500% nicer too!

Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 September 2006 06:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Its like the McCafes here. Why do they bother in Melbourne? We have so many nice cafes! Cafe Degraves poohpoohs you, McDonalds!

Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 September 2006 06:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Am I the first person on this 5 year old thread to say that I think almost everything on the McDonald's menu is staggeringly delicious, and reading all of these posts made me want nothing more than a combo meal for dinner?

* (please note that (a) I think McDonald's is an abomination of a coporation that is working overtime to fuck humanity up (the stories in 'Fast Food Nation' about the lengths their advertising goes to in China to sell the shit to children, who are becoming more and more obese each year, are APPALLING); and (b) I am over 300 pounds and in very poor health).

"why would anyone get a McKebab when you can get a real kebab next door, or two doors down, and also three doors down for i think about the same price?"

haha - yeah and see in India the real food is actually cheaper! It is simply not possible for McD's to undercut street vendors prices there, everything is so dirt cheap to begin with.

from the indian menu:

encrusted with a Mexican Cajun coating,

WTF??

also the "Mexican Salsa sauce" must be interesting.

One thing though: McDonald's Chicken Selects are really fucking good. I mean if they were sold out of McGillicuddy's Olde Tyme Chicken Tender Truck by a surly hipster people would pay $8 for a 3-piece and NYMag would feature them in a slideshow.

last McDonald's I ever ate at was the one just down the road from Dachau in 1996

Haven't eaten McDonald's since a friend let me gank some fries on a road trip in 2005.

i haven't eaten at mcdonald's since i left school, and i'm very happy about that

BUT having said that, hurting is OTM -- their chicken sandwiches were really good, they noticeably upped the quality a few years ago

Chicken Selects aren't sandwiches. They're like McNuggets, only...bigger. And more...select. I think. They're good, though. And there's all these rad new sauces for McNuggets. I miss the steak sandwich, though, even though it barely qualified as steak.

man, maybe someone else can corroborate this, but I remember when Chicken McNuggets were introduced in '82, and the relentless PR campaign -- to such an extent that all I ate for years during the infrequent moments when my parents got us McDonalds were McNuggets.

The Edge of Gloryhole (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 24 July 2011 03:10 (twelve years ago) link

that was when i started eating food from there. as a kid i didn't like their burgers

btw I think Chicken Selects are different from McNuggets, because Selects are made from whole pieces of chicken breast as opposed to that nasty mcnugget paste. Although maybe they don't use the mcnugget paste anymore, IDK.

Yes, I distinctly remember the Great McNugget Roll-Out of '82. Loving any form of fried chicken, I could only see their introduction as a positive development. My parents, however, were horrified. Such vaguely-named and -sourced food was a relatively new phenomenon, so I was on my own when it came to McNugget procurement.

I basically never went as a kid and when I did only had mcnuggets. I think I've ordered a total of 1 non-mcnugget McEntrees in my life. their burgers even seemed disgusting to me at age 8.
