McDonald's, my fault agree. Apparently BL make the best burgers though. They are too meaty for me so I don't agree! 🍟

Qwerty21 · 21/02/2024 09:09

Agree that mcds fries are best (especially the floppy ones) but only when hot and salty. Also agree bks burger's are superior, if only they were from the same place!

Never heard of orange chips before but it's a no for me, I like soft chips!

Wow @Itscatsallthewaydown 😂
I like a crispy chip and would definitely try one of those but I’m not sure I could stomach a whole portion! Something inside me doesn’t really agree with oily/greasy/fried food, I seem to be okay with small amounts but much more than that has dire consequences!
I can’t believe battered chips are a thing, I think I’m in shock!!

Taco Bell!!!!!!!!!

OopsieeDaisy · 21/02/2024 09:52

McDonald’s!

Plus if you’ve ever been to the Black Country and experienced orange chips from the chippy…
Wonderful.

Oh god orange chips 😋 I try to get some every time I go to see my mom 💕

McDonalds.
I rarely eat at Burger King and if I do it will be just a burger.
KFC fries used to be really good but they changed them a few years ago and they are just about edible now.
I've not had Wendy's fries but their breakfast potato things are very good.

InnocentAndDeranged · 21/02/2024 10:19

McDonalds, All day long.

Isanyonereallyanonymous · 21/02/2024 10:23

Maccys is too hit and miss tbh.
Since KFC changed their fries they’re my favourite, yum!

Yuckyyuckyuckity · 21/02/2024 10:28

Five Guys by far. Same for their burgers as well.

Then McDonald's.

DumpseyDaisey · 21/02/2024 10:33

Five Guys.

Really want to try orange chips now!

WingBingo · 21/02/2024 10:51

MacDonalds fries reheat very nicely in the air fryer, so I am told.

Chip shop chips beat any of the fast food 'fries'.

Totally. Fries are for children.

redboots765 · 21/02/2024 11:38

If you want super fresh McDonalds fries, ask for no salt. They cook them fresh for you. (you can then add salt .)

I love the extra long "floppy" McDonald's fries. Best ever. DH thinks I'm a heathen for liking my chips floppy and not crispy.

I agree with your DH!

AlltheFs · 21/02/2024 11:43

McD chips definitely
BK burgers - their chips are awful.
KFC is just horrid all round

I rate Nandos and 5 guys too but we don’t have them where I live so don’t count them.

Tell that to the French

Steak frites is heaven on a plate.

Catsfrontbum · 21/02/2024 11:48

McDonalds when fresh all day long

BK- nope
KFC- rank

I think the fuck not 😄

We have an independent peri peri place around the corner from my house and they do the best fries (both plain and peri peri ones). We don't have a Nando's but I really don't need one with this place. They do a margarita pizza with the peri peri fries on top and it's heaven.

McDs fries were the one thing I missed most during lockdown. I can go without the burgers but there's something snout their fries.

The microwave Fries 2 Go are not too bad if you eat them hot. They kept me going when I couldn't have a McDs.

FasterthanaButteredOtter · 21/02/2024 12:30

Maccy D's are the best fries I can get regularly.

Did try 5 Guys on a trip and they were very good but we don't have one locally so it was a one-off judgement.

Love them, though we don’t have chippy chips very often now.

As for fries, Five Guys.

McDonald's. Burger kings actual burger patties are better quality, but McDonald's has Big Mac sauce so they win there too
