A mate has spent most of the weekend trying to find them in stock around Mansfield.

Can't be better than a spicy signature burger.

Has anybody ever seen a mcdonalds burger that looks anything like the picture?

Every one I've seen looks like the person that made it put it on the floor and jumped up and down on it a few times before putting it in the box.

The cardboard box is probably more edible in most cases!

Kitchen is currently being refitted, so perfect excuse to eat crap (although now getting fed up with takeaways and ready meals), had one on Friday and it was awesome!

They were sold out by me so had to make do with a Signature Spicy (as someone else posted this has to be the tastiest thing McDonald's does, although I'm sure there's an oxymoron in there for some people).

I also had to try the KFC southern chicken bites, they'd sold out of the chilli sauce version by me but the BBQ ones were a bit grim.

Surely this extends to every single item of food that has ever been photographed?

Anyway... I'd not seen these, but I think I'll have to pop in to Maccy D's for one of those. I do use my kids as an excuse to nip in to the Golden Arches every few weeks. You can't beat the jarring contrast between the perfect combination of saturated fat, sugar and salt, and that dirty guilty feeling once you've finished gorging yourself 😀

I don’t like mcdonalds at all, however despite that, i made a conscious decision to use up part of my day opening this thread and commenting on that fact.

Or conversely a food that leads you to a stage of stable genius, no?

As someone who's only ever eaten one McDonald's burger in their life, my only thought is "why?"

Have yet to try one. Some of my team got one on Friday for lunch but I missed out as had a lunch clash

It's going to have to be good to approach anything in XL variety from good ole BK

Available as a meal deal with covfefe and North Korea fries.

It won't top the XL bacon double cheeseburger, a treat for the arteries, and can be enjoyed for hours afterwards with the bacon-y burps...

In a different life I used to try to find big burgers to have a go at, biggest was a Sumo Burger with a pound of meat in NYC - http://www.bignicks.nyc/page.php/about/page/31.

Also there was a triple burger from Wendy's and I vaguely remember a big Big Mac at some point. Also did the shakes - and the US go-large shakes seemed to be served in a bucket.

I had the Big Mac jr,  because I’m a lightweight. But ‘‘twas tasty enough.

personally I think the saver menu is ace, a wee spicy snack wrap plus a cheeseburger hits a few spots and is still less calories and price than those enormous meals

The saver menu is ideal for a chaser, usually for a cheeseburger after something a bit more substantial. Surely the Big Mac jr, falls into this 'chaser' category? 😀

Yes but most things apart from mcdonalds vaguely resemble the picture, I bet if you bought a big mac the actual thing you end up with would be smaller than the mac jr in the top picture.

Nothing wrong with a bit of mcdonalds bashing, I bet the people that eat it all ride e bikes too😉

So, Grand Big Mac, with a Big Mac Jnr chaser is the way to go?

Just polished one off. Have to say I’m a little disappointed that it is just a larger circumference’d BM. Had hoped the regular burgers would be replaced with 1/4 pounders.

Had a mac jr too, in the interests of research, obvs, that's ace as a chaser to 5 selects, even better if they put 2 burgers in there too, so essentially a Big Mac, but without the middle bit of bread. Pricey though (£2.19 iirc).

both were adequate accompaniment to my 5 selects, mozzarella dippers and malteasters McFlurry 😎

Washed down with a Diet Coke, natch.

Oh and yes, I rode my ebike to work this morning, so I’ve earned the calories.

Are mozzarella dippers back on? Ace!!

Definite trip to Maccy D's tomorrow then.

Am disappointed.

Thought this thread was going to be about riding your bike over the Cairngorms and off Ben Macdui.

A route generally known as doing a 'Big Mac'.

Handy hint for the chubsters out there - Ordering two double cheeseburgers is far better value than a Big Mac

They don't taste as good though.

One step ahead ninners, my usual order is 2 DCb’s & 5 selects

Depends whether you keep a squeezy bottle of mayonnaise in the car to make them utterly splendiferous... in lieu of which asking for a sachet of sweet and sour sauce and adding a dollop makes them amazing...

erm, I mean, erm... I wouldn't know

Where is the best Mac ds youve ever had?

I vote Holland, totally amazing, with the freshest lettuce/tomato you could get.

The sooner those fast conveyors get connected to MacBurgers the better.

Its not, the spicy is so good! If only it was a double burger!

So, Grand Big Mac, with a Big Mac Jnr chaser is the way to go?

Yes, but I actually preferred the Mac Jnr to the grand mac!

I also had to try the KFC southern chicken bites

The nashville hot ones are good!

Yes, its been a bad weekend for food...

In the name of research, I’ve just done a “drive by” by the hell hole that is “Hedge End Retail Sink Hole Full of Bored Teenagers & Mums with Sprogs” (it’s half term here) and can confirm that McD’s have sold out of “Le Grand Mr Big Big Mac’athon”. The manager has knocked up some A4 notices all over the place, the message says:

We’re sorry but we’ve sold out of Le Grandiose Mc Mr Big Mac Bigger than the normal Big Mac.

The queue of sullen faces stretches to the Ageas Bowl Cricket Ground.

🍭🍔🍟👎

I once had a McDonalds pepperoni pizza from a Maccy's over Norfolk way years ago. Was nearly as good as a McRib

We all know that McDonald's speciality burgers are just disappointing versions of an already disappointing range, but more expensive.

You're not fooling anyone, kryten! 😉

Life hack.. Buy 3x 99p burgers, gets rid of most of the bread and reassemble into mega burgers.

Add a dash or chilli mayo or mustard depending on mood, peppercorn sauce if it's date night.

You're welcome.

I’ve had one McDonald’s in my life and it was ****ing shit.

If you are going to eat junk food it might as well taste nice.
