Continuing with the burger theme…
Jac tried the McDonald’s Grand Angus burger for the first time and was very impressed. She said it was the best McDonald’s burger she’s ever eaten. She liked it because: 1) the beef had a great flavour and was a decent thickness – a really good, meaty chew, just how burger patties should be 2) she loved the bun and 3) it had lots of lettuce in it – usually Jac orders her burgers with “heavy lettuce” because the standard amount of lettuce does not satisfy.
I was amazed at how much the actual burger resembled the picture on the box. In fact, I thought the real burger looked better than the picture, which is rare for junk food franchise burgers. I’ve commented before how most burgers never look like they do in the ads… and some burgers look just like someone’s sat on them. This was impressive.
I had a bite of the Grand Angus (oh yes, definitely beefy!), but my own burger was a Filet O Fish. I’ve loved Filet O Fish since I was a kid, but I swear it keeps shrinking. Shrinking is the last thing it needs, seeing as it was a tiny toy burger in the first place.
Jac also got me Chicken McNuggets as she knows how much I love them. These are always good. I can eat them hot or cold, with sauce or without sauce.
Yes, we had fries. They were disappointing. I’ve complained about McDonald’s fries enough (floppy fries with Big Mac, floppy fries with McChicken are just two examples).

WOW that burger looks amazing! It doesn’t really look anything like a burger you would expect to get from Mcdonalds!
Hb loves the grand angus too. Look like a real burger with decent size patty. As for the fillet, I love them to death especially the tartare sauce. Would lick the sauce before eating the fish.
I have tried the new burgers and I agree they are pretty good! Ah yes, the humble filet-o-fish. I really like them too but I agree they have shrunk over the years. Actually all their burgers have shrunk!
Ooh, I’ve heard good things about the Angus burger! Your and Jac’s thumbs up makes me want to try it now.
Although I couldn’t possibly think of something at McDonald’s being tastier than the Filet O Fish or the chicken nuggets!
wait, they really use Angus beef?!
that looks like a whopper (pardon the pun) of a burger.
now if only they’ll bring that over to Msia.
and i do agree that Filet o Fish is shrinking like salted fish in the sun.
3 mouthfuls, I’d reckon.
Do try the grand angus with one less cheese! I feel it tastes nice with just one cheese as the cheese was wayyy too overpowering!
I like the angus! But somehow the sourdough bread taste sweet than sour!
I’ve never seen a Filet O’ Fish in real life before. Are they really that small? That burger however DOES look delicious, but maybe it’s just me but is the bread a little stale looking? Of course it’s just a picture and I can be wrong. More posts, puhleeazee haha. I’m on a diet and your pictures are the things I need to keep going, haha.
The Filet O Fish has DEFINITELY shrunk in a major way over the years! Didn’t it used to have lettuce on it and not just cheese and mayo?
Fries at McD’s there are consistently bad? That’s very odd; they’re The Gold Standard here in the States and with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions they’re always hot, crisp, salty and satisfying.
That burger Jac had does look yummy. The bun is a bit strange looking though. Yes, I recall your recent photo of a burger which looked as though it’d been sat on. :-\ Lol.
The best burger buns are those which are buttered and toasted on a grill. “Truck stops” here still do that, and an occasional family-owned restaurant.
hmm….the MC over here looks so different specially the bun >_
The burgers are actually shrinking, they just recently shrunk the quarter pounder bun size to the bun size of a cheeseburger!
Oh the things you learn with a friend that works at Maccas haha.
