mcdonalds vs burger king

Robsweezie

I'd like this settled AHers . Ive recently had a few burger kings, having eaten mcdonalds for years due to proximity and a lack of burger king in the area, but now there's both on my doorstep. still undecided as to which is better.

mcdonalds seems the more publicised and noteworthy brand, and i like a good big Mac and mcnuggets. Burger king have a lovely smoky taste to their burgers that MD sorely lacks, but the fries are bland and measly and their whoppers unremarkable, but still fairly enjoyable.

They are both shite.

Only one way to settle this...


FIIIIIGHT!

burger king is a lot dearer and not as good.

Two cheeks of the one arse in my crude opinion OP.

Burger King for me. At least they have vinegar for their shltty little chips


Both places are massively overrated though

Don't think they are 'rated'

Hopefully US chain Five Guys will be better when they get here.

Supermacs!

Ah no, but if I was to choose between McDonald's and Burger King, Burger King would lose because their burgers are sh!te to be fair.

I cannot believe you actually eat the chicken nuggets! Ever since they first aired that Jamie Oliver show where he showed how they are made, Ive never eaten another one. Just google "pink slime" or youtube it and prepare to rid yourself of the vilest form of food technology,

I'm well aware of how disgusting both establishments are, but nothing beats McDs when you're stoned

I'm not a fan of either. But the last time I went into a Burger King, the entire staff didn't speak English. They got my order wrong twice, and then served my cold food.

They're not made with that in Ireland. In fact, I don't think they're made with that in the US either anymore either. Anyway, nothing wrong with mechanically recovered meat. Waste not want not

Neither. In/Out Burger FTW!

McDonalds is one of the biggest buyers of Irish Bord Bia quality assured traceable beef. It's bacon comes from Dew Valley in Thurles. http://www.bordbia.ie

Supermacs and Burger King in the past have bought their beef from Rangeland food (I think Burger King stopped buying beef in Ireland when Rangeland was found to have sold horse meat) as do a lot of small takeaway business throughout the country.

I don't doubt Supermacs sells 100% Irish beef but its not Bord Bia Quality Assured and I will always pick McDonalds over Supermacs.

Its funny listening to the GAA heads and those ugly public sector workers (the ones who look like they're chewing a wasp) in and around Thurles and Nenagh going on about how McDonalds doesn't use real meat. McDonalds food is all fake.

They all objected to a McDonalds drive-thru in Thurles with the excuse it wasn't Irish nor real food yet were delighted when McDonalds gave Dew Valley the contract later that year.

IMO Burger King's burgers are better than McDonalds - the Whopper is definitely superior to the Big Mac but MaccyDs do nicer fries and have a wider menu to BK. Also their outlets look more modern than BKs and they advertise their product better.

Burger King is my bet.

If there was a burger king in my town, I would weigh about 40 stone.

I hate McDonalds, it tastes like nothing, but the Burgers at Burgerking actually taste nice and the have actual chips instead of those little wirey yokes at McDonalds.

I like to eat s***

Burger King makes good tasting burger..

But the pink slime tastes so good.

Nothing is pretty about meat processing anyway.

Have you ever seen an animal killed and then butchered and said it was a pretty sight.

Feck the animals, Have you ever seen a carrot getting brutally yanked out of the ground, waterboarded, its skin is then peeled off before it gets machete'd into tiny pieces and boiled alive.

Talk about brutality...

One thing I love about Burger King, is the way they research locations. Put'em up where there's a busy McDonalds. let them do the research

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

Burger King all day long.

McDonald's makes me hungrier.

cloud493

Burger king.

heroics

Do like the BK burgers but hate the BK chips. Generally will go to McDonalds over BK if there is the option.

Never eat anywhere that has a menu above your head, and you'll live a long and prosperous life.

Poll added for you OP.

And Burger King is obviously the superior choice here.

JohnnyChimpo

McD's all the way, double cheeseburger has some pretty solid macros, and is delicious. WOuldn't eat much else from there though

Not if you get shot in the face. Then you're dead, and probably died hungry.

Wouldn't a better burger beat Mcdonald's when you're stoned?

c_man

BK don't have anything to match a Quarter Pounder. That being said, I try to avoid both.

Egginacup

They're both shit and I would eat them about once a year and immediately regret it as I feel drugged and sluggish afterwards. But BK's Whopper is definitely superior the the Big Mac as it has what appears to be real onion, lettuce and tomato.

What type of freezer do McDonald's use to cook their food?

BizzyC

Both are pretty terrible, but when there's no other option has to be XL Bacon Double all the way...

PopePalpatine

The Chicken Tendercrisp is simply godly. The biggest problems I have with BK are that they don't provide pepper and charge you 40c extra for cheese on a Chicken Royale.

I have tried cooking food with freezers, it doesn't work no matter what freezer you use.

Have you ever even eaten in burger king?

jimgoose

I like burgers, and for me personally there isn't much between a flame-grilled BK quarter-pounder and a MacDonald's equivalent. But I tend to avoid both in favour of the local chipper.

So it's not just a coincidence in Limerick then?
