McDonalds signature classic with chicken nuggets and bbq sauce. I still mid the McRib.

Lol! Hilarious TrendyNorthLondonTeen and so true!

I just don't know, burgers or pizza, they're both nice, so which one? There's only one thing for it - fight!!

BTW, Whimpy is still open in my neck of the woods and is my go to take away. And I love the fact that I can watch the little bike man on my JustEat app and the restaurant always puts a little note and smiley face on the bag!

The obsession some MNers have with proving their artisanal, Waitrose-shopping, Pinot Grigio-sipping lower middle class credentials at every possible opportunity never ceases to amaze me.

Takeaway?? In the middle of the day?? But....but...you could be eating naice things!

I mean, some people might suggest that it smacks of insecurity...not me though, obvs Wink

I'd kill someone for a Wimpy (2 hamburgers and chips and yes I am fat!)

My domino's was fantastic. Not a fucking prawn nor mussels in sight thank you very much

I would always choose Domino's as Im always starving about an hour after eating a Maccies. They are so eye wateringly expensive though.

uppershopping · 21/08/2019 15:13

I spent £11.

Also who 'washes down' food with Pinot at lunchtime ffs? That's terribly common.

Did you have pineapple @uppershopping? That'll let us know what cut if a person you are 🤔

uppershopping · 21/08/2019 15:16

Hell to the yes I had pineapple thank you for asking

MaureenMLove · 21/08/2019 15:19

You gotta wash down shit food, with full fat coke if you ask me! Grin

(I looked at a flat recently, which was really lovely. My DD drove passed it for me and said I couldn't live there, because it was opposite Whimpy and I'd be the size of a house in minutes!Grin)

By the way the Uber eats macca delivery is top notch here

@TrendyNorthLondonTeen

You forgot “I can’t believe you’re considering a delivery! Think of the carbon footprint. You should walk five miles in the pissing rain to pick up your food.”

And

“But why order a dominos? Asda do a basics pizza for just 99p and it’s much nicer” it really isn’t

Scentsandsensible · 21/08/2019 15:22

@uppershopping here too - it’s dangerous - one can have a piping hot Big Mac and fries within 20 minutes (faster than my oven heats up).

ElizaDee · 21/08/2019 15:23

We had a wimpy but it closed last year :( Nearest one is nearly 40mi away.

uppershopping · 21/08/2019 15:29

I went through a stage of having Prosecco fridays and ordering maccas on the way home ready for me when I got there Blush

RedForShort · 21/08/2019 16:38

You had pineapple. So, you're a monster then.

If only it were possible block users, MN would be a safer place.

KatherineJaneway · 21/08/2019 17:53

I condone a lot of things, but dairylea on a pizza is abhorrent

Nah, pineapple on pizza is abhorrent.

Why does treating yourself to enjoyable food have to entail something from a fast food restaurant?

It doesn’t - but can’t you see that, on a thread about ‘Do I pig out on burgers or pizza?’, it comes across as more than a little bit wanky to say ‘Ugh, neither - I would go for the crustiest artisan bread, mussels and shrimp swimming in the most beautiful garlicky butter, drizzled with olive oil and just a dusting of paprika! What could be lovelier?’

StillCoughingandLaughing · 21/08/2019 19:57

Or you know, eat something descent!!

Why do you need to know its family tree?

Absolutely nothing wankier on god's green earth

Please tell me that you are the most convincing troll on here? There is no way that anyone in real life could say something this wanky with a straight face...

TheLime · 22/08/2019 07:33

This entire thread has perplexed me..... takeaway pizza at LUNCH? WTAF. Are you coming off a night shift? At least you went for dominos, home delivery McDs isn’t a thing even though Uber is trying to make it a thing, like they are trying to take over the rest of our lives.

Anyway, it’s all done and dusted even though it broke all the laws of nature. I am more more interested now in what you had for dinner?
