Hold on a minute. Why do people enjoy Mcdonalds? I'll tell you why by using the Big Mac Meal as a benchmark.

Sweet, salty, sharp, savoury, umami. That's what I get when I bite in to a Big Mac. Bread and relish for sweetness, relish and gherkins for saltyness and sharpness, burgers for savoury beefyness and umami. Texturally it is a delight with the crunch from the pickles and the soft bread/burger combination.

The fries are simply excellent. Salty, crisp and soft at the same time, great flavour.

Washed down with a sweet, cold soft drink.

All that for £3.89. Warm, tasty and quick.

It's much better than eating a pre-packed, stodgy sandwhich made in factory conditions with re-formed meat on a production line. Just because it has nice packaging does not mean it is good food. Yes Mcdonalds is reformed, processed dirt but at least it tastes good!

If you don't like it, fine. But to say that it is mechanical slurry sh!t is way off the mark.

A gourmet meal or haute cuisine it isn't, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of the individual components, the suppliers, or how the stuff is put together. If Jamie Oliver set out to do a hatchet job on McDonalds, along the same lines as his turkey twizzlers, he would have to give up, admit defeat and acknowledge he was wrong.

Yes, it's unhealthy in as much as it is a burger and fries, but a burger and fries from a Michelin starred restaurant will be no better, and there's no way it could taste as good biggrin

Propaganda worthy of Goebbels here...hehe

You sound like a junkie defending his fix! It must be all the healthy natural ingredients in them:

100% beef patty, bun, Cultured milk, water, cream, sodium citrate, salt, sodium aluminum phosphate, sorbic acid (preservative), sodium phosphate, cheese culture, artificial color, acetic acid, enzymes, lecithin, red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, water, salt, natural flavors (vegetable source), vinegar, water, mustard seed, salt, turmeric, paprika, spice extractives, cucumbers, water, distilled vinegar, salt, calcium chloride, sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate (preservative), natural flavor (vegetable source), alum, polysorbate 80, turmeric, onions, salt, pepper, enriched bleached wheat flour (malted barley flour, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, iron, folic acid), water, high fructose corn syrup, yeast, vegetable oil (partially hydrogenated soybean, corn, canola, and/or cottonseed). Contains 2% or less of salt, wheat gluten, malted barley flour, alpha amylase, mono- and diglycerides, propionic acid, phosphoric acid, calcium sulfate, ammonium chloride, monocalcium phosphate, ascorbic acid, azodicarbomide, corn flour, soy flour, potato flour, calcium peroxide, diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides, ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides, silicon dioxide, sodium steryol 2 lactylate, fungal enzymes, emulsifiers, sodium or calcium propionate (as a preservative), sesame seeds, potatoes, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavor (beef source), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (to preserve natural color). Cooked in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, (may contain partially hydrogenated soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated corn oil and/or partially hydrogenated canola oil and/or cottonseed oil and/or sunflower oil and/or corn oil). TBHQ and citric acid added to help preserve freshness. Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an anti-foaming agent.

Yummy! The 'fungal enzymes' and 'dimethylpolysiloxane' particularly set my mouth watering! biggrin

Nonetheless, I would defend your right to eat this factory processed industrial sub-food should you choose to, to my last breath just as I am sure you would defend my right to not consider it fit to feed my dog! smile

Nothing mechanical? You do realise the official definition of meat used by McDonalds is "'skeletal muscle with naturally included or attached tissue including rind, tendon, sinew, skin and cheeks" don't you? I wonder how they make tendon, sinew and rind into burgers without mechanical processing?

I very rarely eat fast food and don't buy food from supermarkets.

As for my dog, it's a good job I don't feed him dog food isn't it? wink

Damn! Busted!

Yes, my name is Warren, and I am a junk food junkie. It started off harmless enough, I was a teenager back in the seventies, and all we had back then was Wimpy, my dad used to take me there, when the Golden Egg had closed down. I thought I could handle it. It wasn't hard core, like going to London and doing McDonalds, or 'M' as the other kids called it, which wasn't available in the provinces. Then I went to live in the States for a while, and started doing 'M' a little more regularly, again, I thought I could handle it. I experimented with Wendys, Burger King, hell, I even tried Arbys. But I always came back to 'M', it was calling me. Upon my return to the UK, I found that the availability of 'M' had spread across the country, it was increasingly popular, for recreational purposes, and every town now seemingly had a dealer. I couldn't live without it, even driving into the City centre late at night, just for a fix. And now, here I am, thirty years later, and the craving is still there. "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun". There was no escape, I tried to fight it, but lacked the willpower. Yes, I am weak. Weak willed, weak minded. Pathetic.

And now, here I am, my head bowed, and you sit in judgement. But you weren't there, you don't know what it's like........man.

They are a long way from the best burgers, but they are significantly better than just about anything you will buy from a supermarket which have a lower meat percentage and far more filler and usually MRM.

He is talking rubbish. McDonald's burgers are better than the worst that you can find at the cheap end of supermarket burgers, but they are a long way from the best you could buy.

You could try reading 'Fast Food Nation'- at times McDonalds have been the good guys. But, to claim 'best' is far from true.

nothing mechanical in there though........

I wouldnt advise it as a daily diet but to slag it off as never when you prob eat in restaurants / supermarkets that are just as bad makes me laugh. everything in moderation..

oh and news for your dog the burgers that fall on the floor at the factory they sell for dog food tongue out
Nothing mechanical? You do realise the official definition of meat used by McDonalds is "'skeletal muscle with naturally included or attached tissue including rind, tendon, sinew, skin and cheeks" don't you? I wonder how they make tendon, sinew and rind into burgers without mechanical processing?

I very rarely eat fast food and don't buy food from supermarkets.

As for my dog, it's a good job I don't feed him dog food isn't it? wink
dear god im going to have to call you an idiot again...

all beef at mcds is forequarter and flank pure 100% beef try researching something before making stupid comments
And by doing so you demonstrate that you are in fact the idiot. I never said McDonalds meat wasn't 100% forequarter and flank, but the legal definition of that includes rind, tendon, sinew and skin as I correctly pointed out.

Try doing a little research before making stupid comments to people whose family have farmed cattle for beef for 40 years. . . . . . . tongue out
and cheek? really ? so they mix up some cheek in it do they? You have said in this thread and in others its MRM when obviously it is not. And I see your farming experience with 9 years in the ffing factory that mcds patties are made having designed their computer systems including their traceability systems which make sure its only flank and forequarter - proper meat not mrm as you claim is used. but no its a big scary company thats done well isnt it so you have to make up stereotypes and pretend its bit of cheek in the burgers. yeah mechanical slurry in that its mixed up flank and forequater in a big mixer but it is not mechanically reclaimed meat in any way. i suppose you think mcds give money to the ira too you idiottongue out
