Not at all old bean.

Leaving in the gherkin is misguided, but nothing more than that.

Removing it is a crime. Buy a happy meal.

I presume you don't have brown sauce on a bacon and egg sandwich either.

Food heathenism!

I must admit that I love a Golden Arches breakfast. I can take or leave the rest of the day's food – I think I've had one in the past five years – but the breakfast, coffee and free wifi makes it a convenient winner for me on many occasions.

However, something I've noticed at numerous branches is how SLOW this 'fast' food is getting. The food seems to take AGES these days – there have been instances where I've waited about five minutes for a coffee and the place isn't even that busy. And those self-service machines are pure shite – straight to the human at the till every time, for me.

Ugh. The only thing that makes their burgers edible is the gherkin.

Remove that and it's just a bland, boring piece of shit. Why would you eat that?

Because it tastes better than the gherkin.

Got a batch of £1.99 vouchers out of The Metro last week - Big Mac and fries, Double Cheeseburger and fries, etc, all for £1.99. Not bothering to cook breakfast this week. Delicious! Haven't tried the fillet of fish yet though .....................

Do wish they'd have a doorman to keep the chavs and squealing kids out though! :wink:

Not sure if this is completely true but I was told if McDonalds didn't serve their burgers with a gherkin inside, the burger would have to classified as a desert.

Its a bland, boring piece of shit regardless. Lift up the bun and take a look at that gruesome, grey compressed lump of patty. Its "food" Jim, but not as we know it.

Burger King is shithouse as well, there's something not quite "right" about their pieces of congealed lukewarm squashed gubbins. I think the only piece of fast food I find tolerable is a KFC Zinger burger. An actual piece of chicken fillet in a recognisable meat shape, with some lettuce and mayo - thats ok. I appreciate the chicken was no more than 7 months old when slaughtered, and during its brief miserable life had been pumped up the arse with more chemicals and preservatives than Philip Schofield, but somehow it still tastes alright. And processed white meat always feels vaguely less catastrophic than the industrial gruesome brown/grey gunk McD and BK churn out.

But shit up a stick, its ALL last resort, isn't it ?

Just picked up food from the McDs drive through. I asked for a quarterpounder with cheese, but with no pickle/gherkin. Got home to find they had given me a quarterpounder without cheese but with pickles/gherkin. But I'm not really bothered, it was for Juanita.

But seriously, why would someone ask for a quarterpounder with cheese without cheese.

Oldest trick in the book to make sure you get a freshly cooked burger and not one that has been under the heat lamp for hours.

No! A quarterpounder with cheese without cheese is just a quarterpounder, and they would just be sitting there already. It's the pickle you take out to get a fresh one. Mind you, I think so many people do it now that they probably stock up on them anyway.
