Had a MCchicken sandwich, strawberry milkshake and chips for afternoon snack lunch. So good. Tasted like 1997.

What would you have? I'm buying

I even downloaded the McDonalds app because of this thread Blush it's like torture. I can make my perfect order but it's too hot for me to actually leave the house and collect it. Need to move somewhere with delivery Shock although tbh if I was moving based on fast food availability I think I'd prioritise Burger King

Spicy veggie no mayo extra pickles, shaker salad and a Diet Coke

Clevs · 15/07/2018 15:41

Big Tasty meal with regular Coke, no ice.

Is the cheese they use vegetarian?

Mymycherrypie We have several different types of cheese. The most used one in the Big Mac, Cheeseburger and Quarter Pounder is vegetarian (see added picture).

We have allergen books to hand, so if you’re ever unsure or have questions, feel free to ask and we’ll take a look Smile

How much is a cup of gherkins and do you think that, every time they sell a burger with no gherkins, they drop some in a cup to sell to the extra gherkin people?

BarbaraofSevillle All our ingredients are laid out in tubs on the dressing table, so if you have a burger with no pickles, you literally just don’t put pickles on - they stay in the tub Grin

In all the time I have worked in McDonalds (and in several stores), I have never been asked for a tub of pickles, so I am unsure as to how much we would charge.

You can also see the nutrition information on the website if you're too wimpy like me to ask :)

So is a McFlurry a bit like a cross between whippy ice cream and a milkshake?

thismeansnothing · 15/07/2018 17:21

I've actually quite enjoyed reading everyone's order.....

Normally If its a morning I'd be getting a dojble sausage and egg mcmuffin, extra hash brown and a cappuccino.Any other time Big Mac meal, Coke zero, curry sauce and whatever cheese bites/sticks are on.

However I'm 8weeks pregnant struggling massively with sickness and all I can stomach/crave ATM is full fat coke and extra salty fries. Cheap date me 🤣

Juanbablo · 15/07/2018 18:08

Cheese bites, fries and an oasis.

CadyHeron · 15/07/2018 18:38

Double cheeseburger and fries for me please, and a large Diet Coke.
If any weirdo doesn't want their gherkins, send them this way.
I'll have ALL the gherkins lol

Grilledaubergines · 15/07/2018 18:40

Sausage and egg bagel
Apple pie
Still orange (the old type they used to do)
Toffee latte

rainbowsandfeathers · 15/07/2018 18:42

Plain quarter pound with cheese
Fries
Cheese melts and a strawberry milkshake please Grin

Aeroflotgirl · 15/07/2018 18:43

Medium Big Mac meal, with diet coke.

FuckMyUterus · 15/07/2018 19:02

Large Big Mac meal, Coke Zero no ice, and either a Mcflurry or a double cheeseburger on the side 😂

Thisnamechanger · 15/07/2018 19:09

Mine would be the Grande Big Mac (if they'd only bring it back!), Large fries and a tea. Loads of salt and pepper on the fries then pop some fries IN the big Mac. Oh dear, my vegan low card lasagna is looking less tasty now I've though about that.

Thisnamechanger · 15/07/2018 19:10

OMG and the chilli cheese bites they used to serve!

guest2013 · 15/07/2018 19:14

I'm following slimming world and would kill for a McDonald's right now.
I'd have a large 5 piece chicken select meal with a double cheeseburger. Diet coke.
No wonder I've got 3 stone to lose Blush

A couple of weeks ago I downloaded the Mcdonalds delivery app for Vietnam and Malaysia just to be nosey. Fascinating seeing their menus, their deserts are incredible.

SpongeAndBubbles · 15/07/2018 20:25

A happy meal 😍 Blush

CadyHeron · 15/07/2018 20:36

A couple of weeks ago I downloaded the Mcdonalds delivery app for Vietnam and Malaysia just to be nosey.

OMG, that sounds like something I'd do Grin
Why have I never thought of that?!
Love seeing how dishes differentiate according to what country they're in.

CadyHeron · 15/07/2018 20:38

Just read that back and it sounds like I'm calling you a geek, nooo I'm calling myself one! Shock Blush
I go on random google map/flight radar holidays and look at restaurants when I "get there" lol so totally me the geek. Grin

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 15/07/2018 21:01

and I always want the sauce they have for the fries in French McDonalds... It's amazing

headinhands · 15/07/2018 21:39

No offence taken. I do that looking ahead thing too.

I had to pick something up from a house a few days ago and looked at the house on street view to check I knew where I was going. I also googled the address as it looked tricky to park and it turned out the house was on the market a few years ago so I ended up having a nosey inside. Grin

BakedBeans47 · 15/07/2018 21:51

We are just back from France. Why is McD’s always better abroad? I had a fish thingy on a sort of whole grain bun and my youngest son had a triple cheese burger! The McCafe bit uses proper crockery and cutlery and you can get beer!

Anyway I love McD’s breakfasts (in the UK) so a sausage cheese and egg bagel meal with a latte to drink

BarbaraofSevillle · 15/07/2018 22:09

McDonalds in Seville railway station has an amazing cake counter with loads of different cakes like a real cafe.

I usually refuse to go in McDs abroad as I like the eat the local food, but we did drive past probably the only one on Gozo and there was a poster advertising a flatbread thing with lamb, salad and sauce that looked amazing. If it wasn't for all the gorgeous wood fired pizzas I might have gone for that one.

Yes, why does 'abroad' get a better McDs selection? It's like Lays Crisps, which are the foreign equivalent of Walkers, but with much more interesting flavours.
