Macdonalds cheese burger...

So only ever having bought the saver one.... is there any difference between this and the regular quarter pounder which is 3 times the price. Is it just bigger... ?
On on the subject who's on for a petition for a reasonable chicken nuggets choice Grin
And thanks but I dont need a lecture why I shouldn't be eating macdonalds (this is mumsnet after all!)

Milkshakes are coming back??? Thank god, I've had nothing to dip my chips in recently.

I bloody love a McD's and the tedious smugarses who post on threads like these just to say 'ewww, greasy fast food,how horrid!' need to know that everyone thinks you're a twat. HTH.

Quarterpounder with cheese, chicken selects with sweet chili sauce, large fries, chocolate shake. Any questions?

I had forgotten all about Root BeerShock,my favourite is the big tasty but it's one of those specials the only put on every so often HmmThere,s a freezer stall on my local market that sell big packets of McDonald's frozen chicken nuggets .

Oh I just had a quarter pounder meal today. Best meal I've had in weeks 🤤🤤

Quarter pounders are just better than the saver cheeseburgers. They just are okay.

AskOrNoAsk · 02/07/2020 15:18

And yes to the big mac. If it didn't always fall apart in my hands, that would be my burger of choice.

Iwantcollarbones · 02/07/2020 15:18

I love how you can change your burgers now. I tend to go for a chicken sandwich with cheese and mustard along with the usual lettuce and mayo. It’s lush.

Although that big tasty sauce is special.

I really wish they’d bring back the mustard dip. I lived on that stuff through sixth form and then all of a sudden, it was discontinued Sad

ChuckyHereToPlay · 02/07/2020 15:41

I always get a big Mac with extra sauce and pickles. Sweet Chili chicken wrap is my 2nd favourite. They used to have more choice in snack wraps, I used to like the garlic mayo one. And I miss the brownies they used to sell, they were so moist!

Clevs · 02/07/2020 15:44

All you people talking about a side of Big Mac sauce - can you order that separately then?!

Big Tasty is my favourite but it makes so much mess. If it's not available I normally have a Big Mac but sometimes a quarter pounder with cheese.

I wish they'd bring back the sundaes they used to do in the 90's. They were far superior to the McFlurry. A plastic cup of ice cream with either strawberry, chocolate or fudge sauce. The strawberry sauce actually had strawberry pieces in, it was lush!

Ishihtzuknot · 02/07/2020 15:52

Always go for the double cheeseburger as a minimum, the basic one wouldn’t fill up a mouse

Big Mac sauce was available to buy in little pots just before lockdown but it was a temporary promo, hopefully they will do them again! McChicken sandwich or nuggets dipped in Big Mac sauce was delicious Smile

Macdonalds cheese burger...
QuestionableMouse · 02/07/2020 17:37

Also breakfast is coming back, probably in the next few weeks. Limited menu though.

Furries · 02/07/2020 18:11

@QueenCT - excellent, will be putting that on my order next time I go. In fact, may just have tubs of gherkins and forget the burgers!

L4uz · 02/07/2020 18:30

A reasonable chicken nugget choice is obviously 20 Grin

Esmesmommy · 02/07/2020 18:34

A cheeseburger, hamburger or Big Mac is made with a smaller patty - 10:1 meat. A quarter pounder is (obviously) 4:1 meat. The onion and buns are different, the quarter pounder bun has sesame seeds and is larger. There’s an extra slice of pickle and cheese on the quarter pounder too.
Love a McDonald’s, it’s the only food I missed in lockdown!

Grumpbum123 · 02/07/2020 18:38

God I want a Big Mac, fries, strawberry milkshake and a toffee sundae - worse thing they did getting rid of the toffee sundae

xmummy2princesx · 02/07/2020 18:40

Soo excited 4 breakfast

Cauterize · 02/07/2020 18:46

Fucking love McDonalds. My meal of choice is a Big Mac Meal OR Big Tasty with cheese and either chicken nuggets or chicken selects on the side with a selection of condiments. Oh and a full fat coke.

Sometimes I'll stop at the drive thru for a midday snack - cheeseburger, mayo chicken burger and small coke.

It hits the spot every time!!

YgritteSnow · 02/07/2020 18:54

Anyone else remember the McPizza's?

Yes - mid nineties.

In Canada you can get a lobster roll at McDonalds, it's lovely.

Has anyone mentioned the McRib? You get it as a special here in the U.K. occasionally but when I lived in Germany it was on the standard menu. Tasted much nicer there too.

It's a double cheeseburger for me these days 😋

PyongyangKipperbang · 02/07/2020 18:58

All burgers are made to order. They shouldn't be sitting for any length of time.

No they are not!! They are put together to order but I have had soooo many cold burgers that I have had to ask to be replaced because they have been cooked and then left in the warming tray things for too long. Once I had to take it back three times.

The franchisee who owns all three of our local ones is nuts about waste and refuses to follow the rules on how long stuff can be kept, if I go then I go to the ones in the next town over.

mbosnz · 02/07/2020 19:00

I'm a quarterpounder girl. I had a theory back in first year uni', that I could tell who I'd bond with according to what their go-to mcburger was. It was surprisingly often correct. I love the chicken selects, with sweet and sour sauce. My girls will be so happy to hear the milkshakes are coming back!

MongerTruffle · 02/07/2020 19:02

All burgers are made to order. They shouldn't be sitting for any length of time.

The burgers are made to order, but the patties are allowed to sit in the warming trays for up to 15 minutes.

Floralnomad · 02/07/2020 19:07

Breakfast has been back for over a week here (SE) .

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 02/07/2020 19:09

The double cheeseburger is the only thing McD's sell that is worth the bother.

00100001 · 02/07/2020 19:21

@yellowsunset

All of their food is crap.
No it's not....what's crap about organic milk, or carrots sticks, or salads??

@MozzchopsThirty
"sometimes when you're tired, hungover, lazy, jet lagged etc etc and you don't want to be a smug arse then you just pop to McDonald's"

Sometimes I'm not any of those things and I still like to just pop to McDonald's Grin
