I had a medium chicken Big Mac meal with fries and Tropicana orange juice earlier.

What do you like from McDonald’s?

Rarely have them as none are nearby. Normally it is once a year at best if not ever two years when traveling on motorway but when there it is normally six chicken nuggets, a hamburger with extra pickle, onion and mustard and no ketchup. A medium fries and a medium coke zero or water. I also get a crap load of sauces and take most of them home and use them in pack lunches etc.

For a starter 9 chilli cheese bites or mozzarella dippers.

main course a Big Mac with three chicken selects (fuck McDonald’s for taking away the spot cream dip. The correct combo is sour cream and sweet chilli alternating) and a small fries

Dessert a full size McFlurry with an apple pie smashed into it.

Drink - vanilla milk shake. Large.

Criminal it was, taking away the sour cream dip!! Best dip.

I like the plant burger meal 😋

HorrorFan81 · 23/01/2026 19:35

I like a lunatic.. the only thing I ever order is a fillet o fish 😅

Thepossibility · 23/01/2026 19:42

Quarter pounder and fries. I pour half a sweet and sour sauce on the burger and the rest for the fries. Occasionally a McFlurry to go with if I'm feeling opulent.

LookingThroughGlass · 23/01/2026 19:45

Sorry, I'm a Burger King lass and mine's a Bacon Double Cheeseburger with Coke Zero.

Goditsmemargaret · 23/01/2026 19:50

Filet ofish or a mcplant. Americano or a coke zero. If I'm very hungover a small mcflurry but otherwise no deviations.

Pasta4Dinner · 23/01/2026 19:59

At a push a bacon roll or a donut. I have always found their food cold and horrible.
I did like a BK bean burger. I sometimes go to Tim Hortons and the food is hot

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 23/01/2026 20:00

Plain quarter pounder with cheese
Chips
Coke

Then depends on what the cheese thing is.. like the cheese bites the rest a bit disappointing

Again mcflurry depends what it is. Miss the caramel sundae

momager1 · 23/01/2026 20:02

Only one mcdonalds in the country I live in, it is in the capital which is a 6 hour drive away, a bit far to go lol. But when I go up to visit the grandkids in Canada, my choice would be either the sausage and egg mcmuffin or the sausage egg mcgriddle no cheese on either, and a hashbrown and cup of tea for breakfast, other times I would normally get a cheeseburger with extra onion and ketchup, no pickle or mustard, and a nice salty fries with a sweet n sour dipping sauce and a coke zero.

ZenNudist · 23/01/2026 20:07

Quarter pounder with cheese
Medium fries
Diet coke
Hangover cure

Recently discovered 5 guys and grudgingly love it but ££££

The fillet o fish is ok but I have to scrape off half the sauce.

Sauce?!

I've not had a Maccies in 25 years, if I have to have fast food I reluctantly pick a KFC over a Maccies, but if I HAD to I've often thought I'd try a filet of fish wotsit, but I didn't know it was in a sauce..

BooksandCats123 · 23/01/2026 20:15

Double cheeseburger
Big Mac
chicken burger
Apple pie
Diet Coke

It’s just Tatar sauce but they always put loads on.

I ordered from MC'Donalds recently, when travelling home with my DC.

It was dire. This isn't food.

I cannot believe people pay for this shit.

I mean it is food. More so than some other stuff
chips are potatoes, salt, oil

Enko · 23/01/2026 20:17

Breakfast. Bacon and egg mc muffin with hashbrown and a oj.

BebbanburgIsMine · 23/01/2026 20:18

Quarter Pounder without cheese
Chicken Nuggets
Chicken Selects

Coke or Irn Bru to drink, and the Apple Sprite they had over the summer was lovely

Foggytree · 23/01/2026 20:20

Quarter pounder with cheese
Medium fries
Tropicana orange juice
Apple pie at times too

This has been the same for the last 35 years

DorisTheFinkasaurus · 23/01/2026 20:21

Filet o fish, fries, coke, and apple pie. Chef’s kiss.

In Spain, McDonald’s coffee with ice cream is essential.

In France, I swap my coke for a beer.

MargotMoon · 23/01/2026 20:25

If we’re doing a McD’s-BK mashup then my order would be 2 double cheeseburgers and a chocolate milkshake from Maccies with 6 chilli cheese bites from Burger King on the side 😋

FurForksSake · 23/01/2026 20:26

Burger King onion rings. With my extensive order from above.

My preference is quite boring coz I really don’t rate the food at all. I usually get 2 hamburgers (ketchup and onion only), oasis summer fruits or strawberry milkshake and chips. If I’m wanting a bigger meal I’ll sometimes get a big Mac but I’m always so disappointed so I’ve stopped getting them. Tried a mcchicken sandwhich, hadn’t had one in years and was even more disappointed. The McChicken premier was fab I don’t know why they stopped them (many years ago) along with the caramel sundae 😭 those were the days.

I much prefer a whopper meal from Burger King.

Edited

Omg, I loved the Chicken Premiere! It was my fave burger.

AnonSugar · 23/01/2026 20:28

I’m mind blown at the number of people on this thread that order a Filet-o-fish! I’ve never met anyone who eats that.

Do you go on the soap opera threads to say you don’t watch them? Or football ones to say it’s shit? Do you log onto pistonheads and tell them you’re not into cars?

There's always at least one isn't there?!

DaisyMayBojangles · 23/01/2026 20:41

I really like the McPlant.. so much in fact that I researched which burger they use and was delighted to see you xan but them in w supermarket! ⭐️
