There is absolutely nothing real in a mcdonalds burger, fact.

I think McDonalds have burgers that range in quality. Some of them are terrible but I've had burgers (while completely sober) that where some of the best I've ever tasted.

That's a rather solipsistic approach to burgers.

Fur Burgers are the best lads.

Double 1/4 pounder and cheese.....frakking awesome

Logical Fallacy

The amount of actual meat in a McDonalds burger means that covers 2.5 cows every fiscal quarter.

Yeah that sounds about right a fifth of a McDonalds burger is actual beef, the rest is soylent green.

The remaining 4/5's are lips, hooves, tails and whatever other "mechanically recovered" meat they can throw in.

Standard Toaster

The other 4/5 are made from cow ring pieces from Chernobyl Ukraine

You need to taste a burger made with real beef someday, not the mechanically processsed offal and hooves superglued together that McD's use.

There's no better way of turning grass and water into burgers than the humble cow.

I have tasted all kinds of burgers and stand by my statement. I went to a McDonalds that was horrible, everything about it was bad and the burger was disgusting plastic muck. I went back to the same place a year or two later, they'd changed the staff, the décor and more importantly the food. I got a double 1/4 pounder and it was one of the nicest burgers I've had anywhere. It was a proper burger too and nothing like the previous time I went there. They do make good burgers, sometimes.

No doubt some McD's can produce tastier burgers than other McD's. But it's the poorest quality processed meat out there.
God help your taste buds when you taste an actual 100% (or close enough) beef burger. There is no comparison.

And if you pump enough flavour enhancers into anything it will become tasty.

That's what those burgers are. Absolute muck.

That's what this was, I have made real beef burgers at home many times and these McDs where very close. As they're using Irish beef it's going to be pretty good anyway. God help you when you have one of McDs secret yummy burgers the taste and shock will probably make your head explode.

I ate my last McD burger in 2003. I doubt very little has changed since then.

They still glue testicle, eyeball and every other part of the carcass to a small proportion of meat and pump it full of flavour enhancers.
I reckon I'll get by alright without them!

The McDonald's in Rajiv Chowk (aka Connacht Place) in the centre of New Delhi has a big sign declaring that no beef or beef products are on sale there.:):)

I guess India's "truth in advertising" legislation is stricter than ours.:)

That's because you're probably still digesting it.

I always think the newer ones like the limited editions etc get better meat and then they gradually lower the quality of meat content as other limited editions come along. None of their standard burgers are nice these days.

and the two euro "deal" you're kidding me! they look like something shoved down the back of a builders trousers all day.

Or it could just be the fact that there actually is no beef on the menu. As in, there's no "Big Mac" or the likes, cows have a sacred place in hindu culture so there's no sweet sweet cow meat to be found on the menu of many-a-place.

I don't care what beef it is, when I'm hungover and need something greasy to ease the pain it does the trick!

Well you know what they say about assumptions.

McDonalds beef burgers are actually made from proper cuts of beef.

The MRM you get in a chipper is potentially worse for you.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm McDonalds.......

All the McDonalds bashing is kind of funny.

Whatever about their products outside of Ireland (for example, in the US), the food you buy in the Irish outlets isn't the super processed crap a lot of people seem to think it is.

Check out the ingredients yourselves; it really isn't a case of processed offal mix and flavour enhancers here in Ireland.

Ah so it's true, I always thought it was a wind up. Jesus, what do you eat when you're hungry:p

I heard McDonalds chips were made of flour and the burgers are made of paperclips and bubblegum
