Went shopping with my friend a few weeks ago and had the misfortune of going to Blackburn Mc D's. After protesting that I never do Mc D's she finally persuaded me and my God it certainly lived down to my expectations. The new chicken flatbread was full of limp lettuce, something that tasted similar to chilli sauce and another sauce that I assumed was mayo but didn't taste of anything. It was in a rather tough pitta bread. When I bit into it, the chicken type substance slid around in all the sauce and damn near flew out of the pitta onto the floor, where quite frankly it would have been better off. If this chicken has ever hatched from an egg I'll eat my hat, and lets face it, it would probably be tastier.
Na wingy a K.F.C. is a lot better.To get it over here we have to do a 3 hour round drive but it always worth it
While I was away for Christmas I had occaision to visit a Macdonalds in Blackpool. (The one adjacent to Morrisons, South Shore, for the officianado's amongst you) I know I said I would rather eat the soles of my own shoes than eat at Macdonalds, but it was late and we were in a hurry, and I experienced a sort of masochistic desire to reassure myself that it was truly as horrible a gastronomic experience as I remembered.
I was not disappointed.
I ordered a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, large Fries and a large Coffee. The Burger came in a flimsy card box and the Fries in an open-ended card packet and the Coffee in a card cup with a plastic lid. The Burger was firmly welded to the base of it's box which necessitated a complete deconstruction of the box to exticate it intact and it even then it took some layers of paper with it. The bun was steamed at the top and baked to crispness at the bottom. And, it has to be said, the entire ensemble bore about as much relationship to the advertised photograph as HBC does to efficient local government. Which is to say, none at all.
The "meat" in the sandwich looked like the sort of novelty dried burger I might buy for Acrylic-biff from a pet store. It was overcooked and had obviously been stored for quite some time and had the consistency of a damp digestive biscuit. Overall It was dark brown but flecked with particles of other varying colours. There was little recogniseable taste that was not swamped by the taste of the processed cheese slice, gherkin and tomatao sauce.
The fries were limp and greasy. I cannot say that they were tasteless, because they were not. But whatever taste they did have bore very little relation to that of fried potato.
I thought that I might have been on safer ground when I discovered that the coffee was made by Kenco, but sadly the best that can be said for it is that it was warm and wet.
All in all a thoroughly dispiriting experience and one that I have absolutley no wish to repeat. Had I been paying for the "treat" the lot would have been sent back. As it is, I wasn't. However, I shall, at some stage, take a photograph of one of macdonalds offerings and send it, with a copy of the advertised photograph to the Trading Standards Office. I am sure that there is some violation of the Trades Descriptions Act here.

I think that's very generous of you, personally I would give them a big fat 0 for the service and I'm afraid the food (and I use that term loosley) would be in minus figures.
Ha ha Ha! I think that we should have a scale of appreciation of food and food outlets, which runs from 1 - 10. with 1 being Macdonalds and 10 being 'absolute bliss'. I should like the term macdonalds to become a term of abuse, as in "Eeuurrrgh- how very Macdonalds." or "Are you going to change your socks dear, they are getting a bit Macdonalds?"
If the Observer can have a reporter wandering round sampling the delights of local take-aways why can't we? How about reviews of take-aways, Indians, Fish and Chip shops, Pub grub, restaurants and food stalls on the market.
Supermarkets are the spawn of the devil and the death of town centres and thus rate a 1 by default, no matter how hard they try to be nice (It's all a front anyway, they just want your money)!
