McSalad

May 24, 2006

The current special at McDonald’s here is the McSalad. Normally I would order extra large fries and an extra large coke in protest at McD’s doing anything that claims to be healthy, but the Tomato Grilled Chicken Sandwich did look pretty good, so I compromised and ordered a BigMac set, with extra fries, large coke and a Tomato Grilled Chicken sandwich as an aperitif. As you can see, it didn’t look much like their picture, but in fact, it was not too bad. The sauce they’ve used is pretty good (and it’s always the sauce that really makes or breaks a McD’s for me), and the chicken was a not-especially-bad approximation of what real chicken should taste like. I was tempted by the yogurt with berries, but that I feel, would have been a step too far…also the hot girl who works in my local McD’s was starting to look at me as if (she knew) I was a freak, without me ordering that too. Incidentally it’s quite revealing having a hot girl working in McDonalds, as it’s made me realise that you can keep the french maid/school girl/police woman/construction worker costumes…a hot girl in a McDonald’s uniform is what it’s all about.
