[Closed] I've just enjoyed a Big Mac

Reasonably balanced

I like to have one in each hand, can't get more balanced than that.

Macdonalds breakfasts are the best hangover cure in the world. FACT! t would be impossible to squeeze more salt into a meal, short of emptying sachets of it into your gob

I once at and watched in horror as my mate Walshy - who is a very large fella - ate 12 Big Macs, one after the other. Perfect stomach lining for the all day drinking binge we were about to embark on apparently

12 Big Macs, only a [i]lining?[/i]

That is not a nice idea... 😯

Sometimes I take my son to MacDonalds cos he likes the free toys. It is so occasionally, that I forget and sometimes make the mistake of buying one of their burgers for myself.
Yes, its [i]bread, meat and a bit of salad [/i] and in the menu pics looks pretty tasty.
But it always tastes like shit. And gives me indigestion. The supposed "meat" tastes like cardboard left out in the rain.

I could've happily have eaten another one, but 12? Has he spoken to the chaps at Guinesss World Records?

Agreed Dez. I'd definitely like them if they were like they are in the pictures though. 🙂

my mate ate one of everything on the menu when we lived in germany and they have more to choose from than uk 😉 he used to do a bigmac in two bites lol

Dez. I do that too. My daughters make an ideal excuse to eat rubbish 🙂

And my mate who ate 12 was boxing super-heavyweight at the time, is the size of a house, and probably looked on it as a light snack

sweet baby jebus and the orphans. I managed 7 once and thought that was good. TWELVE? Respect due.

I've not eaten a McDs burger for ohh, 10 years now, and have not the slightest inclination to ever try one ever again. For the same money, I can make a faaaaar better lunch myself.

PeterPoddy - You're missing the point. Its not about better. Its about enjoying guilty pleasures.

Big Macs are the culinary equivalent of late-night liaisons with more amply proportioned ladies.

Burger King Whopper is FAR better

so, pot noodle anyone?

I'd go for cake, myself. Big Macs are disgusting.

There is a lad at Lansdowne rugby club who goes by the nickname of "burger" On account of eating 30 of the pound savers.

[i]Big Macs are the culinary equivalent of late-night liaisons with more amply proportioned ladies[/i]

If those liaisons involve sucking between the toes of their stockinged feet, maybe.

I've just had a Big Poo, not sure why this thread make me think of that though.

We were stuck in some forsaken retail park the other weekend and due to their being no other option we had a MaccyDs.

I went for the Big Tasty, which to its credit was actually quite big...

There's usually a burger stall right outside my local McDonalds that sells really nice freshly cooked burgers with local meat - miles better than McDonalds. All too tempting. 😛

I know what you mean Grumm. The bastards who own the deli at the top of my road cook bratwurst on a big barby on a Saturday morning outside the shop. I have to walk past it to go and get the papers. Except I rarely actually do walk past it.

McDonalds - Food of the devil.

You’re all going to burn in hell for eternity! 😈

You’re all going to burn in hell for eternity!

Well... we'll certainly be combustible enough

Ever watched Super Size Me that documentry, watch it then go and buy a burger.

now i live in chiswick i eschew maccyDs in favour of gormet burger kitchen as my hangover cure of choice
mmmmmmm kiwi burger

Peter Poddy. Do you [i]ever[/i] buy something and then quite frivolously and without care buy it again someday without first having taken it apart, picked at it, serviced it so it's better than new and not criticised it for its inherent shortcomings?
It's a f**ckin' Big Mac for ****s sake!
:-}

Well... we'll certainly be combustible enough

Yes, lard does burn rather well.

Mc'ds quarter punder with cheese, is yum, I like a big Mac, Chicken Sandwich, Wopper with Cheese, McD's brekky Pot noodle, yum yum.

My office isn't far away from McD's and occasionally I'll succumb to the pleasures. Its a bit like "self-love". Good at the time, but you get to feeling dirty afterwards.

I would rather eat at macdonalds than gbk, tried it once and it was awful. A fat lump of undercooked mince with peanut butter on it wrapped up on a stale bun was my "satay burger", one of the weirdest things I've ever eaten

I persoanlly prefer, when forced to go fast food, to have a portion of anemic battery chicken encrusted in salt and floor sweepings, deep fried and served in a greasy bucket.

Or if I am in the area, and endowed of sufficient patience to endure the slowest service known to mankind, Falafel King in Brizzers. Top nosh, zero animal cruelty points.

Road trip food. I'm always slightly suspicious of how Burger King get theirs to taste that bit nicer than McD's. At least with a Maccy you know it'll be a bit plastic. Great shakes though

I would rather eat at macdonalds than gbk, tried it once and it was awful. A fat lump of undercooked mince with peanut butter on it wrapped up on a stale bun was my "satay burger", one of the weirdest things I've ever eaten

Aye, I was disappointed by the gbk experiance too, plus one on the style, nil points on the taste.

Why does [i]everything[/i] have to be served in a 12" high stack too?

Angus burger
Mc Donald's are knocking these out in oz![IMG] [/IMG]
not bad for Shite

I like to order the chicken burger with no sauce then pour a whole pot of curry dipping sauce on instead OM-NOM-NOM-NOM-NOM!

Royal cheese plain then pour over BBQ sauce is also excellent.

But i agree BK >>> McD

Lets be honest, the moment alcohol has touched ones lips, theres only one type of fast food going to cut it

[img] [/img]

I don't have to be drunk to enjoy a nice kebab - mmmmmmmm

i cant believe people are knocking gbk, miles better than maccyDs!

Neither do I. Its my Friday lunchtime treat every week. Large Chicken Tikka kebab in naan from Hunters in't northern quarter. Mmmmmmmmmmm

Its a bit like "self-love". Good at the time, but you get to feeling dirty afterwards.

That's an interesting observation. As it was the 'only' thing on offer I ate a McD's on Tuesday night on the way home from a gig, and then stuffed the telltale bag under the seat. It's still there and the wife has got the car today, and she'll tut disapprovingly if she finds it (for the burger, not the bag stashing)

So am i now quite enjoying the fastfood equivalent of a dangerw@nk?

i cant believe people are knocking gbk, miles better than maccyDs!

In presentation yeah, no better in terms of taste, and for the money they're asking I'd want more than just it looking a bit better.

Ever watched Super Size Me that documentry, watch it then go and buy a burger.

No problem - they are something occasional - like most anything. If you eat them every day, you'll be fat - I don't need a film to tell me that.

I do love to see the aloof middle class STW-ers rallying round a thread.

edit - response to troll deleted

On your recommendation binners, I popped over to Turkish Delight the other day. It was a kebab of Devastating proportions. Superb though.

good point dezb. edited.

then stuffed the telltale bag under the seat. It's still there and the wife has got the car today, and she'll tut disapprovingly if she finds it

Not just me then!

What's gbk? If it's Burger King what's the g for?

Did you go for the King Size Mixed Lowey? You could feed a family of four on one for a week. 🙂

The Turkish Delight do the best kebabs in the world. FACT!

We'll have to get another keeebab night ride sorted soon. The last one was great. Sat outside Lloyds with beers and king sized mixed after a local jaunt. Pretty much everything a man could possibly want there

gbk = gourmet burger kitchen, from what i can glean from posts above.

Haven't eaten in a fast food store in years (literally) but I love Maccy D's Big Mac's, think they taste wonderful, no there not a a gourmet burger but damn they taste great (pity I feel hungry again after 10 minutes).

BK is rubbish though.

Dont get me wrong, i like my Mcdonalds treat every so often. The odd breakfast goes down a treat.

Well, when my little lad was younger i made the flippant comment that McDonalds food was horrible and very bad for you. He was about 4-5yrs old. It must have stuck, because he refuses to ever go inside a Mcdonalds and wont entertain eating their food or anything similar. He even refuses to go to parties there and if frineds ask him as a treat he refuses. His younger cousin and their family do like the odd trip there and my wife got a call from her sister asking us to tell our son not to tell his cousin that he eats unhealthy food. It was upsetting him. I refused as it would be lying 🙂

I thought that said gourmet burger king at first.

The GBK in Edinburgh is quite decent. "Gourmet" is probably a stretch but it is definitely a scale above MuckyDees.

The McDs "Big Tasty" tasted like I was chewing on a styrofoam cup, which was a little concerning as it was served in cardboard, so presumably the "flavour" was from the bun and/or the meatfood.

Read about these things.....

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6267060/Craz-E-Burger-Americans-embrace-1500-calorie-doughnut-burger.html

.....and thought they ought to be tried. Had some mates 'round a few weeks ago, made own burgers, used premium bacon and good cheese and although they are a heart attack in your hand, they were nice. King of the culinary guilty pleasure surely!

Yep.. king sized mixed. A kebab of biblical proportions.

Sweet Jesus!!!

Is that a "[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/labioplasty-healthydisturbing ]badly packed kebab[/url]"? 😉

Nowt up with Big Macs once in a while, although I rarely go to McDs myself.

They're full of fat, salt and sugar(like many foods), but they're not disgusting, horrible or puke-inducing, despite the lefty wish to believe it.

They're just a good hit of the right proprtions of salt, sugar, fat, meat etc to be satisfying but not in a very wholesome way. I usually feel hungry again immediately after eating one as well.

Good for getting rid of constipation though.

"there is nothing wrong with big macs"

sorry is there anything right with them ?

they taste like cardboard - they feel like cardboard and they aint even nutritional why anyone would choose to eat them i dont know .... the fetlers one from aus looks vaguely edible ....

Fergburger(queenstown NZ) or kennedys (dundee)or roos leap (montrose or aviemore) make the best burgers around - actually taste like meat and have substantial flavour to them

last time i had a maccy Ds i was in a bad way after a fell running race and my mate just gave me one as it was the first food we came to on the way back from the race as i was in tatters .... it didnt help and i spewed my ringer 😉

"They're full of fat, salt and sugar(like many foods), but they're not disgusting, horrible or puke-inducing, despite the lefty wish to believe it".

LOL if you only new the truth.

LOL if you only new the truth

Did you really "laugh out loud"?

Many foods are prepared on an industrial scale in ways that would be considered 'disgusting' by the squeamish.

A Big Mac won't generally make you ill or want to retch.

All Bran -horrible
Big Mac -reasonably tasty, but not great cuisine.
Cardboard -dry, fibrous and fairly unpleasant

As I've said, though, I very rarely eat them.

So fast food beef patties are minced anus, lips and connective tissue, fried and slapped in a sh^te white soft bap by an indifferent 15 year old oik with bad perosnal hygine and no understanding of food prep hygine. So what? Some of us can deal with that.

[i]they aint even nutritional[/i]
?

they aint even nutritional

Aye, they're not even made out of mass, they're made out of MacDonaldions, which are a common particle with no mass.

[i]Good[/i] nutrition it ain't, but if you don't live on them, I suspect you'll be OK.

they're made out of MacDonaldions, which are a common particle with no mass.

Except the Angus burgers. They are Higg's Bison.

They aren't good for you, that much is obvious. But don't eat one every day and you'll do just fine.

As far as taste, that's far too subjective for anybody to say right or wrong. But I'm willing to bet many of those who say they are disgusting would actually find it quite tasty if they had no idea what it was or what was in it.

The sauce is the stuff of gods

watch that film about the bloke that ate a mcdonalds everyday for a month... i still feel sick thinking about it.

they did alot of test before , during and after, it was shocking vieiwng what it actually did to his body.

my reasonable head says that if i bought a sandwich from tesco for every meal every day it would have the same issues as supersize me guy got !

everything in moderation and balance is key ....

Fore rib, flank salt and pepper. No lips (do cows have them) or knackers or anything else.

Possibly cooked by a dirty oik who hasn't washed his hands since yesterday, but the meat's actually okay. I like them.

whoever sais they are good for constipation is spot on. i eat a maccy d's within 20 min im shiting! i swear to god, reliable as the tide.

I went to Canadia a few years back, Medicine Hat. & I said to the guy we were staying with 'how about a Maccy?' He said, 'are you kiddin?, that stuff IS shit!' He took us to some other burger joint & it was, well, MILES better.
Except theyr'e only in Canadia.

after a heavy night out in bristol i was picked up at 8am by a team mate to go and play football in cardiff for a 10am kick off, after collecting somebody else and vomiting on their doorstep right in front of his wife who i've never met, we set off for taffland. on arrival i was rather green to say the least but found a maccy d's at the entrance to cardiff uni where i promptly devoured two cheese burgers, large fries and a milkshake, mmmmmmmm.

at the end of 90 minute's i was voted man of the match.

all hail macdonalds

BK's xl bacon double cheese.

what joe1983 said

I've never "enjoyed" a Big Mac

I went to Canadialand this summer (Canmore, Calgary, Kamloops & Vancouver).
Wendy's are so much nicer, but you can only eat [i]so[/i] many cheap burgers...
Tim Horton's donuts were rather nice though

in Bratfud, the post-alcohol meal of choice is a Chicken Bhuna. Hmmm, Chicken Bhuna. With a shami kebab, samosa or onion bhaji for starters.
Served with 3 chapattis of course.
