I was out in Harrow getting my MOT (don't ask) and, having to wait for a few hours, I went to a nearby MacDonalds and had a Cappuccino and an Egg and Bacon McMuffin.

URGH! Disgusting! How on earth can people eat this congealed mess, let alone pay for it?

Food in prison was 100 times better than this vile meal.

What are the millions thinking of? It is quite inedible. Tasteless slab of bacon, piece of cheese (was it? It tasted of plastic). Ghastly old egg. Stale bun.

Coffee foul.

Do people really pay to eat this garbage?

Haha!

Its the bun which gets me every time.
Awful, the sugar in it overpowers any flavours the poor mixed, mangled and mashed beasts ever had.

Sadly, its something we have to suffer a lot whilst living on the road.
No wonder bands get spotty, ill tempered and prefer drugs and re-hab to available nutrition.

So I came home and made a (fresh bread) toasted ham, cheese and lettuce sandwich with mustard and mayonaisse, and a mug of Earl Grey tea, and it was delicious.

Cheaper too.

Why don't I start up King's Fast Food?

The thing is with Maccy "D"`s, is they are not even fast half the time.
Don`t even start me on the poor Little Chefs, who apparently Heston Blumenthal is doing a tv programme with.
This will of course be fine as long as the omelettes arrive in the post on the day,(I kid you not, they actually do get posted) so that he can molecularly restructure them.
Apart from that, reformed chips all around..

Totally agree about Macdonalds. I had exactly the same for my breakfast last Monday morning before joining the motorway on the way to my holiday. The whole thing looked like a pile of unrecognisable slop on a bun.
Normally I would have popped into the cafe but with it being a Bank Holiday Macdonalds was the only option.
It seems that more and more people are going for the easy option of instant food these days with fewer people being bothered to cook healthy meals, possibly due to hectic lifestyles or just laziness.

I must say though, in praise of the dreaded "golden arch", although they may well have a million inedible meals on view every day, they also have a million unsigned bands behind the counter working:woohoo:

If you could do it JK, then please do - anything is preferable to M*cDonalds and B*rger King. I'm sure with your exquisite tastes and personal touches the food would be something special and unique.

Well I was telling a friend about it - a loaf of fresh sliced white - about 90p, 5p a slice - 10p for toast; butter, ham, cheese, lettuce, dab of mustard, gob of mayo, salt, pepper - ingredients for each sandwich, another 10p.

20p - RETAIL prices? And so much tastier - even students could do it (surely?).

but you need another

...and don`t forget, that for no apparent reason you have to pay a member of staff to look at some obscure code written on the wrapper of a burger every ten minutes before throwing the ghastly object in the bin and shouting "Next!!"


I`m lovin` it..........

Rather like those who buy Mariah Carey records/CDs..some people just have no taste and wouldn't know quality if they fell over it.

Interesting comparison Mike, but as of today, you could buy a Mariah cd (in a bun if you really have to) and it will not have to be sold with a barcode.

This of course is not true of a Maccy D burger, although it`s chance of downloads sales and grabbing airplay to chart are thankfully low.
Maybe a GM/DRM free burger is required for real world domination.

So I was just in M&S buying groceries (bread, ham, butter, lettuce) and I mentioned to the checkout girl my repulsive MacDonalds experience and she agreed - she never eats there; neither does any of her friends.

I then described my toasted home made ham sandwich and how delicious it was and she said she does exactly the same.

Admittedly the best ham is that Iberian one from Harrods at
