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

What do you like from McDonald’s?

Double quarter pounder with cheese, large meal, fries, coke zero. Or a large chicken selects meal.
Plus a Mcflurry and possibly some cheese bites or mozzarella sticks on the side.
And lots of ketchup and bbq sauce in the little packets.

I could eat this right now although I've already had supper!

Happyjoe · 23/01/2026 19:01

Never eaten, veggie since I was 10 and pre-mcdonalds. But I have had a banana milkshake, that was nice :-)

Edited: I did used to eat a spicy beanburger from burger king but they've stopped doing them. Such a shame, ate a few of those at uni.

Jackiepumpkinhead · 23/01/2026 18:57

I like most of it, usually order a McChicken Sandwich or Big Mac meal. With an apple pie for dessert, I love them!

Worked in McDonald’s as a teenager and filet of fish weren’t popular then at all and are made to order.

Livingthebestlife · 23/01/2026 18:55

Was always a large big Mac meal but now the big arch is back permanently I've changed to that, get a side of chicken dippers/strips, BBQ sauce, apple pie. Breakfast is double sausage egg muffin. Coke zero or coffee

TheChosenTwo · 23/01/2026 18:53

Either a hamburger with large fries or a quarter pounder with regular fries. The former if I’m not massively hungry but the latter if I’ve got more of an appetite.

Nothing.

Genuine question
what makes you decide to post that on a thread about something you don’t like, don’t eat, don’t have any interest in?

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?

@YesSirICanNameChange sexier?? No. Have you heard of vabbing? Well I’ve found p men come flocking if I run a quarter pounder behind my ears. They seems to find that preeeettttty sexy.

I've been trying it with the apple pie with no success, I'll have to give the quarter pounder a go.

JellybeanCookie · 23/01/2026 18:51

I like a McChicken Sandwich meal, a coke zero and an oreo (or seasonal) mcflurry.

Elbowpatch · 23/01/2026 18:50

Nothing.

MagnoliaTreeBlossom · 23/01/2026 18:48

I would choose a Mcflurry or a vanilla milkshake.

FurForksSake · 23/01/2026 18:48

@Theda13 Aldi do a frozen range of hash browns which is damn close. And their nuggets aren’t bad.

hazelnutvanillalatte · 23/01/2026 18:46

Chicken Legend or Big Mac meal with fries and iced strawberry lemonade or diet Coke

19lottie82 · 23/01/2026 18:46

Ok, if I was going no holds barred……

whatever cheese bites are on the go.

a double quarter pounder with cheese meal (Diet Coke or a sprite to drink)

six chicken nugget chaser

then a mixed berry muffin for pudding

yum!

Rockhopper81 · 23/01/2026 18:45

Usually chicken nuggets or Big Mac, but honestly the biggest draw for me is that they still do full fat coke - artificial sweeteners do a number on me, so if I want fizzy it has to be full fat, and so many places only offer diet/zero option now…and if I’m having fast food, I’m not having a bottle of water with it!!

I'd rather go hungry than eat food from there.

wendywoopywoo222 · 23/01/2026 18:44

I can’t have being a celiac now but used to love a triple cheeseburger or a breakfast wrap with brown sauce.

Well done you are morally superior and healthier and sexier than all of us here's your medal 🖕

I live in a country with no Mcdonalds breakfast which is utterly devastating but when I'm in the uk, a sausage McMuffin no egg, hash browns and the pancake syrup for dipping

Normally its a fillet fish, some nuts or a double cheeseburger, fries and a sprite but we get a regular change of "special burgers" on our menu so currently the hot honey chicken wrap (RIP The dijon cheeseburger 😓) instead of the cheeseburger or nugs

MarmaladeSandwich7 · 23/01/2026 18:43

Gone off Maccies in recent months but still mourning the loss of breakfast bagels. I like the cheese & bacon flatbreads & their hot chocolate is pretty good.

BillieWiper · 23/01/2026 18:43

I find the chicken big mac too heavy. I like the taste of the chicken with the mac sauce but it's just the double patties I think.

I used to be addicted to the spicy nuggets. But I think last time they did them they weren't as nice.

My go to would be the filet o fish. And chips that are hot and really salty.

I sometimes like the sausage and egg muffin and the hash browns but I'm too lazy to wake up early enough. But I have to cross off the cheese and fake butter from the muffin.

I even sometimes get a craving for the hamburger. But I don't like the cheese unless it's the half one in the fish burger.

Yeah I'm not a regular maccers user but I've nothing against it. It can hit the spot sometimes. And it's consistent which can be good in unfamiliar locations.

I find it really weird that BK isn’t as popular as McDs - my local one is newly opened and virtually empty. I’d always prefer the food there it seems much less processed 🤔

In all fairness I would pick BK over McD's any day too as do prefer it but I'd have to drive to the next town to get one as there isn't one where I live
