    Neither - Coeliac's disease makes it impossible for me to eat that sort of food :D
    In this case, consider that an evolutionary advantage!

    If you live near Lucan there is an amazing Italian restaurant that specialise in coeliac meals, they deliver too!

    Yea I heard but never been there, I normally just get the pizza bases in Tesco, some tomato sauce and goats cheese and have at it! Whats the restaurant's name?

    Pregos, there are more around town, but that place make anything you want, its delish too, coeliac bread I think is nasty, they make it fresh

    Eddie Rockets. But if I have to choose between MC and BK, I choose the later. At least it tastes 'real'.

    Here's a good acid test to see if food is actually good or if its being served at a high enough temperature to stun your taste buds into temporary submission, just leave it for an hour then come back and give it a go.

    The entire business model for the fast food industry is built on the fact that anyone desperate enough to willingly force their vile muck down is probably too hungry to wait the hour.

    :D

    McDonalds is terrible imo, ****e portions that don't fill you up. Burger King is nothing special but better than McDonalds.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Burger King if I was badly stuck. McDees - NEVER!

    Can You Guess What McDonald’s Food Item This Is?

    Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made – things like chicken nuggets and patties. In addition, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it. Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve — bones, eyes, guts, and all. It comes out looking like this. There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Finally, since it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color. People still eat this and feed it to their children!

    Enjoy your next McDees chicken meal.

    Mc d's be a last resort. Not keen on fast food places except for a decent local chipper for chips. Mc d's wouldn't feed a bird! Don't really like burger king though.

    Its like the tesco or dunnes debate or the lidl or aldi debate lol

    I'm with Biggins on this one. Chicken should come in packs of four breasts with an 'organic' sticker slapped on so that we don't feel guilty or repulsed about eating it.

    I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand by while food manufacturers use the entire animal to feed people. All the dangly and unpopular bits should be thrown in a landfill and never spoken of again.. regardless of how safe and nutritious they are to consume.

    Yea, like the rest of the big multi-national fast food chains, they love to add those flavourings.

    I (and the wife) try to stick to the local business family run chippers.
    One, to help them survive in what little way we can and secondly, usually their food is more healthier.
    Still covered in oils and stuff but the underlying food I think is more natural.

    Last time I had anything from McDonalds was about 10 years ago on a trip to Birmingham, looking for something quick and cheap, and they had £1 cheeseburgers. Apart from that, I'll go to BK a couple of times a year if they have specials on any of their double cheeseburger variants. Favourite is prob. the Big King: I like Pickles. :cool:
