The Fast Food Thread

I was in the NY office last week and they catered a lunch one day and it was literally a chicken nugget buffet of all type of flavors. Buffalo, jerk, standard, spicy, sesame. It was awesome.

My pilot friend actually just left Honolulu for Narita. I asked him to pick up 10 spicy nuggets with spicy sauce for me.

Can't wait.

McNuggets are fucking great, but there's a major dilemma. I feel bad ordering them because I'd need to get like 2 twenty pieces to be full and I feel like a glutton. The other part of the problem is like a 20 piece is $5 I think, so 40 for $10 or I can get like 2 McDoubles and 2 McChickens for like 6 dollars and be as full. Sucks. The Sweet N Sour sauce is indeed a God-tier sauce, and I don't misuse that word like some of you ingrates. I even found the recipe online and tried to recreate it, but it wasn't even close.

They need to fucking bottle that stuff.

I just don't get it. Never liked any iteration of them. Shitty in every category. Meat, breading, texture... sauces suck too. Sweet and sour (is it an apple-cider-dish color, that's what i'm talking about) is garbage. An augment at best.
I settle with bbq, but the tang is off.
I can't think of another place off hand that has worse nuggets.
I feel I'm mostly accurate with food assessments and I see differences in choices on other things, but mcnuggets and accoutrements are far fucking from God tier. It's worthless, mild, and bland (if it's what i'm thinking of)
I just don't understand it.

Change my mind.

I've never seen a more offensively filled bag.





They weren't very good either. What a joke.

I'm seriously considering making a Twitter account for the sole purpose of bitching at companies. The customer service you get from companies through Twitter over other mediums is pretty silly.

McNuggets obviously have the best texture. A crispy battered type. They retain oil from the fryer well too. If you get BBQ sauce for nuggets I csn already tell your tastes are basic and plebeian, so I'm not sure it's worth arguing. McD's BBQ sauce is probably the worst BBQ sauce I've had from a fast food place.

If you don't like their sweet n sour, it's you, not their sauce.

I like the outside of nuggets, but the inside is too spongy and weird. I know I know it's all white meat blah blah, but it definitely has a different texture inside than a standard chicken tender. I guess that's what makes them nuggets and not tenders?

Anyway, I've had a hard time eating nuggets ever since I found a piece of gristle or bone or something else hard in one many years ago. It's turned into a psychological thing where every bite will have me expecting something hard and nasty.

McD's sweet and sour sauce is truly one of the greatest condiments on earth, though.

The Wendy's people like to believe they're more natural or something. I think it's mostly in their head. Once you don't give a fuck about manufactured food made into the same 3 shapes over and over billions of times a year, you'll truly learn to love nuggets.

That said Wendy's nuggets aren't bad, but I'd never get them over McD's.
