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

What do you like from McDonald’s?

Big mac, fries, bbq sauce, vanilla milkshake. And the hope that dd orders too many chicken nuggets so I have to have a couple to avoid wasting food (ds would never be defeated!).

ETA dh does not enjoy McD so it is our go to treat when he's away

Shakeyshakeybaby · 23/01/2026 22:14

Big mac meal with extra sauce, onions and gherkins. Coke original.

Chicken selects

Cheese melts but they are only seasonal so a chicken mayo.

I order every Monday and eat it in bed .

SSRI · 23/01/2026 22:15

I’ve read the whole thread and now need a Maccie Ds! Tomorrow it is.

20 nuggets. No sharing. Nothing else not even dip.

ReadySaltedSquares · 23/01/2026 22:18

I hate the burgers (my family hard disagree) however I’ll happily have nuggets/selects/sweet chilli chicken wrap without the mayo. With fries and a Diet Coke or chocolate Milkshake.

or obvs a sausage and egg McMuffin with hash brown and orange juice.

DS is furious that his fave triple cheeseburger has been replaced with a fillet o fish 😂

Blarn · 23/01/2026 22:19

McCrispy with bacon and whatever cheesebite things they have. As a teen I stopped eating it out of teenage principle. But now I just think its a bit meh.

Catladywithoutacat · 23/01/2026 22:28

Usually just a cheese burger, they use to have this spicy chicken burger which was nice but limited edition so wasn’t there permanently

MajesticWhine · 23/01/2026 22:28

I love the filet o fish. That’s it really.

Catladywithoutacat · 23/01/2026 22:28

And I don’t mind the wrap of the days

Catladywithoutacat · 23/01/2026 22:30

Theda13 · 23/01/2026 18:28

I didn’t realise the filet o fish was so popular. I don’t know a single person irl who orders that.

Fish o fillet is nice the bread is always so soft

OtherS · 23/01/2026 22:31

6 nugget meal, coffee, water or lemonade. Harder to pick a drink since gave up Diet Coke, and probably don't enjoy the food as much without one. Never really have MD's anyway though, maybe once or twice a year, if that. Usually sitting miserably in my car at a drive-through, halfway through a journey. So I don't think of it as much of a treat!

llikeyourbum · 23/01/2026 22:37

Someone has probably already said this but there’s the surf n turf burger now!! The filet o fish and a burger stacked!!

Changingnameagain · 23/01/2026 22:37

Quarter pounder with cheese and bacon
Or 5 chicken selects BBQ sauce
Fries
Diet coke

DinoLil · 23/01/2026 22:41

Filet o fish all day long!

JohnTheRevelator · 23/01/2026 22:41

I love their Big Arch. So glad it's back permanently!

Only the milkshakes, but since I have been to Five Guys and had theirs not so much. FG are better. I don't eat any food from places like this but have been known to partake in milkshakes and ice cream.

Derpytiger · 23/01/2026 22:55

Plain McPlant with fries and 2 ketchups. I don't bother with a drink. I love the mozzarella dippers with salsa so sometimes if I'm passing I'll just grab some of them.

Can't stand BK the fries are dry and their veggie burgers have always sucked.

PistachioTiramisu · 23/01/2026 18:37

I'd rather go hungry than eat food from there.

You do seem to pop up on every thread about food …..

I was torn between that and the chicken Big Mac yesterday. It might be my choice for next time (though who knows when that will be!)

Well done you are morally superior and healthier and sexier than all of us here's your medal 🖕

Quite.

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.

Me neither!

Sartre · 24/01/2026 13:48

Mcplant meal with a strawberry milkshake. Don’t eat it anymore because the customer service is so dire in our area. You can order a portion of fries and they’ll ask you to park up, then leave you waiting 10 minutes. Not worth the hassle.

DilemmaDelilah · 24/01/2026 13:58

I prefer Burger King because I like ALL the salad and McDonald's doesn't (usually) offer that - but I do eat McDonald's because it is convenient for after swimming so I am qualified to answer this question. a

I either have a cheese quarterpounder without the cheese, mustard or pickle (because it has real onion in it) or I have a big Mac without with big Mac sauce, mustard or pickle but with extra (fake) onions and tomato sauce. I don't have chips nowadays except for the few my DH leaves when he has finished his meal, and I drink water.

Ideally, I would have a quarterpounder with lettuce (proper lettuce not frilly stuff) tomato and fresh onion, plus tomato sauce.

MyOliveStork · 24/01/2026 14:08

Cheeseburger meal with an OJ

tartyflette · 24/01/2026 17:22

Breakfast - double sausage and egg mcmuffin. ketchup. Large coffee ( McDonalds plain coffee is actually pretty decent. ) And a donut, of course.

Pasta4Dinner · 24/01/2026 18:01

TheRuffleandthePearl · 24/01/2026 13:34

Me neither!

I used to love the fish and chips in Wimpy!
