• McDonald's

  I know a lot of my friends don't like fast food and especially avoid McDonald's.  I'm sure you have your opinion on McDonald's.  I don't find it that bad depending on what you order.  Of course I would not recommend going to a fast food restaurant on a regular basis.  Here are some of my choices:

  McDonald's best tasting product, their fries: 

  

  The equality of the fries vary from place to place and from time to time.  It's greatly dependent on the quality of the frying oil.  The older the oil the more brown the fries appear and the more fresh the oil the more golden yellow looking.  The golden yellow fries are much better than the brown fries.

  McDonald's signature sandwich, the BigMac:

  

  It's not as big as any McDonald's taken picture of the BigMac.  It's fairly small with the meat the same size as a standard McDonald's hamburger.  I found out from friends that you can ask for the special sauce, lettuce, and tomatoes added to any sandwich.  If you're looking for even more meat, I recommend looking at the double BigMac as that looks more like a real BigMac should be.

  McNuggets:

  

  These days it's white meat inside.  Once again the quality of McNuggets are depend on the frying oil quality.  The lighter coloured the better testing.  If you live in Canada and have visited the United States you'll know that the barbeque sauce between the two countries.  The Canadian one is more sweet and the US one tastes more like BBQ sauce you find in the grocery sauce.  I liked the US sauce more when i was young but I think I grew accustomed to the Canadian one and I prefer that now.

  New healthy choices from McDonald's, Asian Salad:

  

  A new addition to McDonald's menu to combat the popular gravitation to other fast food restaurants with heathly choices.  You can get the chicken grilled or crispy.  The mandarins are surprisingly fresh and sweet.  There isn't a large variety of greens but it's McDonald's so they're not big into vegetables.

  Crispy Chicken Sandwiches:

  

  I think you can only find this in the United States.  The same crispy chicken as the Asian salad.  The bacon is the same as the instant microwave kind you can find at your local grocery store.

  When you're hungry and want something predictable and aren't too picky McDonald's is a good choice.  Although their quality varies greatly between stores since they're franchised, when you find a good restaurant, it really tastes good.  I don't recommend eating McDonald's on a daily basis and if you don't agree with me I recommend watching Super Size Me.
