Thinking McDonald’s for dinner tonight. Been a very long day!

What would you have? I'm buying…

Spicy veggie wrap, fries and a McFlurry 👌

LaraWearsZara · 14/11/2022 11:01

Hamburger happy meal with chocolate milkshake, and an extra cheeseburger on the side. I can somehow justify the extra burger by ordering a kids meal 😂

ShinyPikachu · 14/11/2022 11:01

@Munches - I won't steal any pickles from anyone's DH so he can still get his from you. Grin DH and I have the same agreement but I'm the one who gets the pickles. He gets a quarter pounder and has them make one without everything apart from the cheese and ketchup (and burger and bun obviously) but he's started leaving the pickles on so he can give them to me every time.

AriettyHomily · 14/11/2022 11:14

Medium quarter pounder with cheese meal, add lettuce and Big Mac sauce if I can be bothered to queue up, coke, normal not sugar free.

@cliffdiver I read an article in the Sunday times yesterday about this. Apparently they are opening a load new stores, reconfiguring others and some dark kitchens because of this very issue. They recognise many stores just aren’t good places for families to go and eat because they are full of deliver drivers waiting and the wait for food is too long

Oh good. McDs is often my 'quick lunch while out on the road' choice and so many times I've not been able to get near the place, no parking, blockage at the entrance due to massive drive through queue, so given up and had to have a nasty garage sandwich instead (I don't generally eat cold food by choice, especially not straight from the fridge).

If I ever do get in there, I'll have a filet o fish meal or 20 nuggets with coke zero or a latte and apple pie if I just want a snack.

BarbaraofSeville · 14/11/2022 11:17

I suppose having dedicated delivery only kitchens is better for the drivers too. It must be a pain for them to have to wait so long when they only earn a small amount per order. Getting their orders quicker will mean they can do more of them and earn more.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 14/11/2022 11:18

I used to like the chicken salad, but the quality of the ingredients rubbish now, brown lettuce and slimy tomatoes. So my order would be black coffee (I'm a total coffee snob but find McD's coffee to be consistently acceptable). If I was really hungry and there was no other choice to be had, a fillet o fish.

PanicAtTheBigTesco · 14/11/2022 11:21

Either a McPlant or Big Mac (extra sauce) meal with a coke and 6 chicken nuggets.

ODFOx · 14/11/2022 11:28

Nacho cheese bites and a black coffee please.

I’ve heard so many things that people think they can’t have whilst pregnant, but never heard anyone thinking they can’t have a milkshake

Big Mac meal with coke
and Mac crispy with banana milkshake is our house order

I was told by a mw when pg not to have them.
They are made with whippy icecream which contains raw eggs and you shouldn't eat raw eggs, including runny yolk on fried egg when expecting.

BarbaraofSeville · 14/11/2022 11:40

You'd better tell McDonalds that they're breaking the law by not declaring an allergen on the ingredients list.

Or you could stop taking notice of someone peddling such obvious shite.

AriettyHomily · 14/11/2022 11:43

I thought the pregnancy thing was because the pipes can be pretty manky and harbour listeria, There are no eggs in it!

Lmgify · 14/11/2022 11:44

Wrap of the day meal for me, plus chicken nuggs box to share and an apple pie

AmberGer · 14/11/2022 11:45

You're right. I've just checked the ingredients on their website.
It was 18 years ago, maybe they used eggs then? IDK 🤦‍♀️

cliffdiver · 14/11/2022 06:56

Quarter pounder with extra gherkins meal with a strawberry milkshake.

3 chicken selects.

Unfortunately, our local McDonalds is no longer fit for purpose since Uber Eats et.al. (the branch cannot cope with all the orders, so it's up to an hour wait) so I haven't had one in a while.

Same as ours. We normally have to wait for at least 45mins for our order to be ready now.

There is no control over the amount of orders coming in due the McDonalds app and delivery apps.

sarahj878 · 14/11/2022 11:55

Mcchicken sandwich meal, extra lettuce, extra mayo, fries, no salt, Sprite Zero and 2 bbq sauce.

Anyone who’s had the mccrispy what’s the bread like? I think it looks stale/hard - is it?

familyissues12345 · 14/11/2022 12:36

Mcplant with that manky vegan cheese removed please, large fries and a coke!

bellalou1234 · 14/11/2022 12:42

Sausage and egg mcmuffins are the food of gods, so I'd have 2 for breakfast, then either a quater pounder or big mac minus the bigmac sauce but with extra cheese please. Hold the fries, but I'll have a large full fat coke...

This is what I have heard too so that's why I'm avoiding the McDonald's ones.

JamSandle · 14/11/2022 12:44

Chicken nuggets. 20. Large fries. Pepsi.

neighboursmustliveon · 14/11/2022 13:10

I'm vegetarian so limited options. We actually went yesterday as my DH fancied a Big Mac. It's been months since I last went and even then I shared my meal with my dd.

I got the McPlant burger with fries and Coke Zero, but if you are paying op I'm have a strawberry milkshake and a McFlurry too 😂

Gr33ngr33ngr4ss · 14/11/2022 13:18

A caramel frappe, 2 double cheeseburgers and a diet coke please.

If anyone's getting nuggets, can I pinch one?

Thank you

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 14/11/2022 13:27

Sorry but how on earth are we on 73 posts and not ONE single “oh I could never eat there it’s disgusting”. Fucking hell, this has to be a first!

Either a Big Mac with extra cheese, sauce and pickles (so both burger bits tast the same!) meal with a Coke Zero and 6 nuggets with bbq sauce and mustard

or Fillet fish meal with a Coke Zero and 9 nuggets with mustard and sweet and sour

sausage767 · 14/11/2022 13:40

I would kill for a large quarter pounder meal with coke. But I’m on a white diet as I have a colonoscopy/bowel surgery on Wednesday.

PanicAtTheBigTesco · 14/11/2022 13:40

@IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece ha yep I'm pleasantly surprised we've made it this far too.
