    I have a chipper beside me that I treat myself to every couple of months. Lovely burger and chips for under a tenner. I was in town recently and decided to get a McDonald’s for the first time in years. What a load of muck. Seriously, the chips are awful and burgers are muck. Go to your local chipper and ignore McDonald’s. It just shows that marketing really affects people decisions (mine included) because it’s not the food that brings people there.

    This report concerns the US where a lot of the ingredients used are not permitted to be used in Europe. I would be interested to see the same report in relation to Europe.

    I can’t fault them at all, bring the kids there for a treat a few times a week, main course and dessert for under a tenner, not many restaurants can match that. I also think that the fact that they only use beef and a pinch of salt reassuring.

    Beef???? It’s only called beef because it comes from a cow but dont let the word beef fool you into thinking that it is a fine cut of loin of fillet. As with most burgers it is pure crap that goes into them, the same goes for chicken burgers and nuggets. Look, a treat once in a while is fine but a few times a week can’t be good

    I treated myself to a Big Mac meal and also a chicken sandwich one afternoon recently, thinking it would fill me up nicely and that it would save me cooking something later that evening.

    The problem with McDonalds is that if you have a fiver, you won’t get filled up, whereas with a chipper you can get something off the menu to keep you satisfied for hours. Even a bag of chips does more than a full priced McDonalds meal.
