I had a medium chicken Big Mac meal with fries and Tropicana orange juice earlier.

What do you like from McDonald’s?

@Bitchcraftthey use the Beyond Meat burgers. They are sooo nice, fab on the BBQ in the summer! ☀️😎

Golololo · 23/01/2026 22:00

I havnt had a McDonalds for bloody months and I now really want a double cheeseburger 🤦‍♀️

Slightyamusedandsilly · 23/01/2026 21:57

Anything there made with beef or chicken tastes awful to me. I used to like the fillet of fish, but the bread puts me off.

I can tolerate the fries if they're really hot. And a small flurry isn't awful. But I miss the sundaes.

The toasted muffin on the breakfast menu with no margerine and with jam is nice.

Edited to say, McD does make a really good cup of tea. I know that sounds stupid, but tea in SO many places is bad. McD's tea is great

The McDonald’s hash browns are incredible. I need to know how to replicate them!

I’m in Australia so not sure if they’re available in the Uk but McCains do a “quick cook, crunchy” version of their hash browns that DD says are the closest you’ll get to McDonald’s version.

makes me feel sick

FurForksSake · 23/01/2026 21:54

Look. I’m now of the firm and sincere opinion that this is a marketing exercise for the filet o poisson.

No one has even said they choose it because it’s lower carb or less calorie or less mad cow.

we are just expected to believe that you are all choosing to eat the fish? Really? Come on McDonald’s, this is a low move.

Jaro · 23/01/2026 21:54

After all the Filet o fish love here I'm really tempted to try one. I love tartare sauce. I wonder if they would put that on a mayo chicken?

I remember about 10 years ago(?) they did an Indian inspired chicken burger with chutney and raita and it was amazing. Bring that back!

Right now though I would order a double cheeseburger, no ketchup, extra mustard, mayo, extra gherkins, 6 chicken nuggets, large fries, BBQ sauce.

I always crave it after a migraine. It's my go to recovery food. All that salt makes me feel better I swear!

Fingalscave · 23/01/2026 21:53

Double cheeseburger and medium fries, whichever McFlurry is the special of the moment. I always feel really queasy afterwards but I enjoy eating it and only have it about once every 2-3 months. I find it's a craving I have to satisfy!

HRTQueen · 23/01/2026 21:50

Appple pie

Big Mac and fries

Hamburger and fries

Chicken Sandwich (occasionally)

a few years ago they did these cheese melts with jalapeños they were lovely

I always get milk it’s the perfect temperature

Endofyear · 23/01/2026 21:47

Quarter pounder with cheese, medium fries, caramel iced frappe, apple pie!

catlovingdoctor · 23/01/2026 21:47

The hot apple pies are the only thing I can have.

roshi42 · 23/01/2026 21:47

Fillet o fish with extra sauce. Double if possible now they do them. Not as a meal, no fries. But sometimes 6 nuggets on the side.

Breakfast wrap with ketchup.

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 23/01/2026 21:44

Filet o fish everytime

ThreeTescoBags · 23/01/2026 21:43

The Grinch fries they did around Christmas are my favourite menu item McDonald's have ever done - I have a drawer full of the (surprisingly good quality) socks to attest to how much I loved those fries!

I also love the Big Arch. Hoping that's staying now they've brought it back again.

Maryandherlamb · 23/01/2026 21:37

Wrap of the day (plain), large fries and bottle of water with a side of nuggets

TheWibble · 23/01/2026 21:32

Fillet of fish
Double cheeseburger
Quarter pounder with cheese
I love the big philly stack limited edition
Nuggets
Chicken selects

If i'm having a breakfast I like sausage and egg mcmuffin or breakfast wrap, and always a hash brown.

They do mini ones?!!!

Show quote history

Yes, less than 200 cals so don’t feel so bad.

MildlyAnnoyed · 23/01/2026 21:27

Quarter pounder with cheese & an apple pie & a chocolate milkshake

Neighbours87 · 23/01/2026 21:26

Mc chicken sandwich meal with Coke maybe a mc flurry. Occasionally a quarter pounder meal with no cheese

Mummmyof1 · 23/01/2026 21:25

Double fillet o fish or single fillet o fish with extra sauce as this option is not there for the double (i've just read a few replies saying they scrape this off 😧) as a meal with chips and a full fat coke, chilli cheese bites or mozarellla sticks with accompanying dip, apple pie to finish

Littlebittiredoflife · 23/01/2026 21:18

Double cheeseburger (add extra gherkins if I remember so it's cooked fresh), fries and orange juice. Used to be coke but I don't want the caffeine. And mcflurry if there's a good one

rainbowsandraspberrygin · 23/01/2026 21:17

Zanatdy · 23/01/2026 18:33

Mayo chicken, medium fries and coke zero. Mini mcflurry.

They do mini ones?!!!

I really like the McPlant.. so much in fact that I researched which burger they use and was delighted to see you xan but them in w supermarket! ⭐️

Oooo which one is it?? I love a McPlant. 😃

I usually go for a medium McPlant meal with fries and a sprite. I used to quite like the filet o fish but I'm still hungry afterwards. Haha. McPlant all the way!

StabbyCat · 23/01/2026 21:13

Big Tasty.

SeanutBrittleOnToastedCoral · 23/01/2026 21:13

The porridge is actually very tasty too. It has the perfect gloopy consistency.
