I mean I don’t ONLY eat burgers, and I never had the McRib, but other than that, this is scarily accurate to my life😨 what can I say? Burgers are affordable, veggies aren’t and they taste icky
counterpoint: vegetables tastier than meats
make some stir-fried vegetables with noodles and soy sauce, look me in the eye and tell me that's not on the top 10 list of greatest things in the universe
Add some well marinated tofu (which is allowed to have sugar) and it is even more delicious.
I like veggies but burgers are fucking delicious. I mean fuck McDonald's as an entity but people try to act like it's not tasty as hell.
Nah, the ingredients in a McDonald's burger are almost tasteless, it's mostly the sauce that people really like.
Imagine the same burger but with fresh tasty ingredients, that would be glorious.
Yeah Im sorry MCUH8R but i have to second this, mcd is whack, id rather steal food or eat out of garbage cans and im not joking 😂😂😂
their burgers are different outside of the US, at least in some countries
Yup, even in my country, where McDonald's have a decent reputation, the ingredients are not very tastful
Artisanal burgers are much tastier than McDonald's. In fact, it's not hard for a real burger to be tastier than a McDonald's one, at least in my country (I'm not sure if McDonald's quality is the same in all countries). Here, McDonald's isn't very good, and even so it's quite expensive. Even the most affordable option on the menu is pricey, and it barely has anything inside. Not to mention that these fast food burgers are tiny.
Hambúrgueres artesanais são muito mais gostosos que McDonald's. Na verdade não é difícil um hambúrguer de verdade ser mais gostoso que um McDonald's, pelo menos no meu país (não tenho certeza se a qualidade do McDonald's é a mesma em todos os países). Aqui McDonald's não é muito bom e ainda é bem caro; a opção mais acessível do menu já é cara, e não têm quase nada dentro. Sem falar que esses hambúrgueres de fast food são bem pequenos.
Idk I think I’m an awful cook personally because I cannot for the life of me cook a burger better than fast food. It’s always too burnt, too dry in the middle, too pink in the middle for my taste, or just not seasoned enough or too much. I absolutely have no sense when it comes to cooking, I buy some stuff (I weep because of how much I’m spending) then I prep it incorrectly, pop it in the grill or oven, wait way too long and finally I’m ready to eat something that I despise. Its not one of those “oh I’m so clumsy, how about someone else cooks instead?” Because I genuinely ENJOY cooking about 2-3 times a week but the meals I make are either pre-made (aka you couldn’t fuck it up if you tried) or I make it myself and it’s an abomination of what the original recipe calls for. I keep at it tho because I like the process, but my cooking is horrendous.
Y’know vegan burgers are way easier to cook and taste great. I’ve come to love black bean burgers, but if you want the taste of meat try a beyond burger.
I’d be more than willing to try. I mean at this point I think it can’t get worse than what I usually cook, and I like beans a lot, not to turn you into an advertisement or anything but do u have a recommend brand?
Morning Star Farms has a lot of meat alternatives including black bean burgers, but you could also make your own. Beyond and Impossible (the one at Burger King) are the brands with creepily realistic stuff.
It’s not high quality, but when I have like less than 50 bucks in my account, McDonald’s starts to look and taste a lot better
Every time I head stateside, I eat (albeit incredibly tasty) burgers as the only affordable thing on the menu until my cash gets so low I switch to Macdonald's. Tragic. Honestly no idea how most USians afford to eat. Who tf pays $30+ for a bowl of pasta? (That's usually the next cheapest thing on the menu.) Maybe it's different across states? Maybe USians don't tip? It would be more affordable if I wasn't including the tip. Haven't visited since I stopped eating meat so no idea what I'd do for food there now.
Nah, most people tip. You are seen as rude for not tipping most of the time. But there are more and more places requesting tips, so not everyone tips all the time, depends on the restaurant
