Actually
without coming across as a complete chav hopefully, I think McDs gets a bit of a bad rap. Just now and then if I'm out on the bike I fancy a double cheeseburger - 99p, they sell enough that what you get is usually fresh and it hits the spot.

McDs
is a fucking good cure for a hangover.

I can't bear it
Although weirdly I (very) occasionally crave a Filet O'Fish with ketchup, chips and a stawberry milkshake.

I last had one 2 years ago and it was a huge let down. I'd rather have a proper chippy :D

I like McDonalds on occasion.

I was never a huge fan of McDonalds but,
since I read Fast Food Nation a few years ago, I won't touch the stuff. At a push, I'll eat at Burger King, but only if there's no viable alternatives (i.e. when I'm at a motorway service stop in the middle of the night).

Not to mention the fact that even setting foot in a MaccyD's marks you out as a Burberry-wearing numnut of the highest order.

I have also consciously avoided
fast food chains since reading that.

It was the "there's shit in the meat!" comment
that did it for me, although I'd been a bit wary ever since a tour of their kitchens, when I was a nipper.

^This.
Super Size Me was the thing that confirmed that McD was truely evil, rather than just being evil.

Fish and chips are my sole takeaway vice. Making your own burgers is a far nicer way to do things.

Speaking of which,
I must have another go at homemade veggie burgers.
Thanks for jogging my memory!

I'm not being snobby
I've just never eaten anything from McDonalds that rated much above goat cock in the scale of things.

It's fair enough
I just have survived the majority of my adult life on Ginsters pasties and pre-packed sandwiches (not because I travel a lot - just because I'm lazy). Most of their stuff is crap, but at times fast, warm crap is a good alternative.
