I usually have a MCD's once a year or so, sometimes 3 years, sometimes twice a year. There isn't a local one around here, most are about 1/2 hr drives.
You don't have a local Macs! There are two within 5 minutes drive away and another 5 within 15 minutes near me, 3 of them are 24 hour ones.

Whenever I go to stay with my relatives on their farm I get milk shake withdrawal symptoms as their local Mac is 30 miles away although when I was there last year they were building one only 12 miles away.

Although at £3 (well £2.95) I think the shakes are becoming quite expensive.

I’ve just had a big tasty with Frank’s hot sauce mayo. I was about to order when I heard someone at the counter ask for a big tasty and be told they have the burgers but not the sauce so they could pick any other sauce they wanted. So I queued up behind him and ordered one with the franks hot sauce mayo from the mcspicy special.

The server said that often just before change over of the time bound specials they run out of a sauce before anything else so on the last day or maybe two you can get them with whatever sauce you want to use up stock
I ordered a Big Tasty with Big Mac sauce a few years ago. Came out well.

Yeah I bet. I like the big tasty but I dont really like the sauce so to have something different as an option is great

But it's not a bug tasty then!

What makes the big tasty a big tasty is the sauce. If it has another source it's just a 'different burger' with big mac or whatever sauce.

Indeed but the bun, burger and cheese are different to the usual fare.

I keep reading something about McDonalds changing their burger buns to those awful brioche things with the shiny tops that look like they've been varnished! I do hope not. I know they're all the rage but every one I've ever had has been horrid.

Our nearest is a 45 minute drive, so we very rarely go, however we took my son and some of his mates go-karting a few weeks ago, so popped in after. I had one of the chicken burgers with hot sauce and honestly thought it was very nice. I'm a sucker for hot things with jalapeños though.

I don't like them either. Plain bread buns/breadcakes for me. When making a burger at home I even prefer white sliced bread. Non of this fancy stuff, but then I am a Yorkshireman!!!

Apparently the Double Big Mac (and DBC w/bacon) will be make a return along with the previously listed 'specials' that'll be coming out next week.
Doesn’t appear to have been launched it’s just a McCrispy deluxe

Part of this is also a new way of them cooking the burgers with fresh onions and seasoning or something best burger its apparently called.

Probably the same old ste as usual

My latest guilty hangover cure is a double sausage and egg McMuffin, no egg, but add extra cheese and extra patty. Greasy af but hits the spot. Oh, does it hit the spot!

So basically a triple cheese burger but with sausage? Sounds promising....

nope its totally different taste and texture wise but usually i stick the extra egg in there for good measure! they did let you stick in 4 patties before but they seem to have stopped

Oh, it's artery hardening while you eat it gorgeous.

And the best bit is if you time it right, an hour later you're as thirsty as, because of the saltiness and the pubs are open again! laugh

My local ones have started doing the new cooking method that they introduced in America.

The buns are now shiny and a brioche hybrid. The patties are cooked with onions. It tastes slightly more umami.

I had one yesterday too. You can barely notice the difference to be fair and the buns are like you say a brioche hybrid so they don’t taste sweet or anything they just have a shine to them
