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

What do you like from McDonald’s?

I’m mind blown at the number of people on this thread that order a Filet-o-fish! I’ve never met anyone who eats that.

Same, I never see anyone ordering it.

…. I always thought I was the only one.

Got to be a fish meal or quarter pounder. Or spicy wrap.

Back in the day before the gluten intolerance it would have been

Big Mac
6 nuggets with sweet curry wauce
Vanill milkshake

I also used to love the Cadbury’s dairy milk doughnut they did ages ago.

Just now it’s the chicken cheeseburger. I have no idea why they never put these together before!

FridaySyreets · 23/01/2026 21:09

Breakfast in Netherlands
Croissant, jam, orange juice
Hot chocolate

Other venues
Filet o fish

Latte

Would you believe me if I told you I have NEVER had a burger from McDs? It's true!

In my forties and frequented MDs hundreds of times but never have I ever had a burger nor a fillet o' anything! Maybe a few nuggets but never a whole box!

I'll just have a fries and a flat white ta 🙂

BessieSurtees · 23/01/2026 20:58

Never ever have I tried a Maccy D fillet of fish … but I will now 🐟

Big Mac extra sauce & pickles or a quarter pounder, always full sugar Coke, don't like the chips much unless they are really hot, which they rarely are

Glitchymn1 · 23/01/2026 18:26

Mcplant burger 😋

Same but Im a savage so it would be a meal with chips & coke or a milkshake!

Needacupofteaandcrackers · 23/01/2026 20:52

Beanburger from Wimpy or Burger King ….food of the Gods

Pollqueen · 23/01/2026 20:51

Fortuitous thread as I'm out with my DGD tomorrow and she wants to go to McDonald's. I'm in training and on v high protein, minimal carbs diet. Is there anything I can have?

TheFormidableMrsC · 23/01/2026 20:50

I really don’t like it. If it’s the only food available and I’m starving, it would be a quarter pounder with cheese and an apple pie.

Who else read the thread and thought, 'hmm, maybe I'll try the filet o'fish?'. I've never thought of ordering it.

Honestly, it's delicious! but not delivered, has to be hot and fresh

I’ve never had a filet of fish but I can’t say it with saying “and a filay of feesh for my wife”

EdinaTheConfessor · 23/01/2026 20:47

Quarter pounder with cheese, fries and a strawberry milkshake is my order of choice. And some chilli cheese bites if they have them.

I did have one of those spicy chicken burgers with pineapple from the heist menu when they had that on and it was nice.

I do love a McDonalds but as I am perpetually on a diet it is a very rare occurrence these days.

CarefullyCuratedFurniture · 23/01/2026 20:46

Ooh are we having Maccys? I bloody love a Maccys. I'll have;

5 piece chicken selects
Medium fries
Frozen lemonade
Whatever battered cheese product they're shilling at the moment. I like all of them!

Letmeloveyou · 23/01/2026 20:43

Large Big Mac meal with fries and Diet Coke. Or vanilla milkshake with an espresso to make coffee milkshake which is now on their menu but I used to buy it years ago! Wouldn’t have this at dinner time though as would keep me awake! Also like an apple pie

Letmeloveyou · 23/01/2026 20:42

fillet o fish and strawberry milkshake!

That has to be the worst choice IMO! wouldn’t feel like a McDonald’s to me!

Do you go on the soap opera threads to say you don’t watch them? Or football ones to say it’s shit? Do you log onto pistonheads and tell them you’re not into cars?

There's always at least one isn't there?!

Burger King onion rings. With my extensive order from above.

My preference is quite boring coz I really don’t rate the food at all. I usually get 2 hamburgers (ketchup and onion only), oasis summer fruits or strawberry milkshake and chips. If I’m wanting a bigger meal I’ll sometimes get a big Mac but I’m always so disappointed so I’ve stopped getting them. Tried a mcchicken sandwhich, hadn’t had one in years and was even more disappointed. The McChicken premier was fab I don’t know why they stopped them (many years ago) along with the caramel sundae 😭 those were the days.

I much prefer a whopper meal from Burger King.

Edited

Omg, I loved the Chicken Premiere! It was my fave burger.
