The only type of BIG MAC that would make my mouth water IS ONE MADE WITH THE ORIGINAL SAUCE THEY USED IN THE 80s!!

Chunder in a jar.
I also find that, however limited in stock all shops in uk have Shippams meat paste, yet I have not found anyone who has eaten it since about 1975!

I was positive they sell snake oil audio accesories. But maybe I have mistaken this company for someone else.
The official history says it derived from the Big Boy sandwich.

However the local competitor had the Big Wink years before and that is what they copied. Winkys used ingredient added salad dressing. That seems to be what they started to copy.
Question: McDonalds has two new types of Big Macs that will make your mouth water? (BTW is this correct grammatically ?)
None, the stuff these bozos sell can't be called food. If one eats garbage like this and does not want the ever occurring feeling of guilt afterwards then here Burger King is way better and the hamburger they use does not fly away when one opens the door. Better bun and fries too.
The stuff is supposed to be the same all over the globe (it can't be) but here there are better food/snacks to find. I think they earn an award for best advertising and marketing though. Excellent american entrepreneurship !!!
I do have a weak spot for McDonalds coffee though. When they started to distribute their poison here they were rewarded by selling the worst coffee. After some time and repeated negative comments by many they really invested money in better espresso machines and nowadays their coffee is just very good. I loved the test where the public was asked to taste 2 coffees. Starbucks (another heap of marketing) and mcDonalds. The public was told who the makers were but not which cup was made by who. They unanimously choose mcDonalds coffee being the best saying:"yes you can taste immediately that Starbucks made this. Wonderful!" LMAO 😀

Here too, only we call Burger King, Hungry Jacks. We're the only country as I know it that owns our own official subsidiary that way.
I must humbly confess to sometimes making a sandwich with this, or at least the supermarket own brand alternative. Maybe it's my age?billshurv said:
I can't remember if I have ever had a Big Mac. Maybe, many years ago. On the rare occasions when I visit a Macdonalds I usually have a cheeseburger, but hate the sugary (otherwise tasteless) bun, the yellow gloop which Americans call cheese, the greasy salty little fries, and most of the rest of the stuff put in with the burger. I remember once being surprised to discover that Macdonalds' establishments are known officially as restaurants; I had always wrongly assumed that the term carried some implication of quality and choice and ambience. (I assumed a food hierarchy: restaurants at the top, then pubs, then works canteens, then cafes, then fast food at the bottom)

AKA sandwich spread. Take some thousand island and add relish - voila!
Can't imagine McDonalds making it themselves so it was likely Kraft or Heinz.
I walk into a Burger King in Singapore in 1988 and get a burger, fries, and a Coke. Something was different and I was the only one in the place so I asked the girl at the counter. She replied that "McDonald's patent was not valid here so we can put sugar in our fry oil too." That is why McDonalds fries have a crispy caramelized outer shell that will stay intact for years if left undisturbed.
Some people actually like that "cheese like plastic substance." I prefer real cheese, which is available in the US, just not from Kraft.
If I am feeling calorically deficient and I really want a good belly bomb (not often) I prefer a Wendy's Baconator. I think it's about 1000 kCal of what appears to be real beef and bacon.
With so many great (or at least better than mediocre) "restaurants" in my neck of the woods I can't imagine any reason for going to any one of the big three fast food emporiums (that would apply to cars as well). I would say of the mediocrities Wendy's has perhaps the best quality meat which IMO is not necessarily synonymous with a good tasting, good mouth feel end result.
I will echo George's comment about cheese, suffice it say with Vermont next door I can get the real thing easily enough.
By the way no one makes good fries except for the Belgians, they're great, sorry, it's true. 😛

I am honestly surprisingly disgusted by McDonalds. Food in general, actually. Luckily I'm on a Ketogenic diet huhue.
I tend to avoid fried food most of the time, especially the stuff from a fast food joint that uses a synthetic oil.
Applebees used to have good thin sweet potato fries (years ago), but now they have these thick ones that absorb too much oil.
Some of the Amish made stuff from 40 miles NW of here is pretty good. I have also found some pretty good cheese at Trader Joes. Too bad its an 80 mile trip into Pennsylvania. We only go there once a month and the good cheese is gone an a week or two.
Had to go to Brussels on biz last fall -- had the two dozen fried mussels with a generous helping of fries and a couple beers...was catatonic on the plane ride back to chicago the next morning.
My first real job was making fries at McD -- they were excellent if you got them fresh from the fryer -- you quickly develop the knack of blanching to remove the water, draining and frying to golden brown. these days i've sent them back on more than one occasion because they're cold and limp.

I've heard that many dutch people that live just across the border drive all the way over the West-Flanders for our great potatohs 🙂

That's strange, sugar doesn't dissolve in oil. I wonder how that works? Also the crispy is likely the result of an additional, introduced starch. First noted up here at KFC about 20 years ago.
You guys should rebel. That product is known throughout the world as American cheese.
Anyone worth their salt (haha) knows the trick to a good fry is the two stage cooking.
I also like to preseason and give them a shake in starch.
Then of course you smother them in curds and gravy. 😀
Mmm...getting hungry.
I heard it was the other way around 😉 Excellent mayonaise though, the french fries are often mediocre. I keep trying though. Belgian cuisine is excellent in general. Better order a steak in Belgium than in the Netherlands. Different cows ... We have our secret weapon the Indonesian cuisine, copied from colonial times when it was called "the dutch West-Indies". Real good food. Daging Rendang, Sajoer boontjes, Nasi Goreng, Ajam Pedis, Gado Gado, Sateh Ayam , tens of varieties of Sambal etc etc.
