McDonalds Lamb burger

Usually I dont eat lunch because it spoils my appetite when I get home for dinner, which we have pretty early at 4pm, but today I had to eat something because I was feeling a little low. Set out to digest all the nutrition require for the day I went through mcdonalds drive through and got myself one of those new lamb burgers. What a monster of a thing and taste wise too good to be sold out of a McDonalds. Serious try it out ppl it will surprise.

Have to agree, although I'm starting to look like I do I don't eat a lot of Maca's but I had one of these the other night and it is perhaps the best burger ever offered at McDonalds.

SWMBO tried one last week and did not like it. Maybe liking it is a male thing.

How much does it cost? I'm sure it's a right royal rip-off like the other sub-atomic particles that Mcdonalds passes off as "burgers".

$7.95. Can put a price limit on food it to important to be tight with. I'd rather give up an ep for a good meal.

I've had the lamb burger and I was surprised, it was really nice.

The beetroot and egg however I believe it doesn't need it. I think it's between $10.50 and $11 for a large meal due to the size of the burger, its huge!

its probably "lamb substitute" a la fawlty towers!
i honestly dont know how these people who have, lets face it, have been contributing by helping turning our kids (parents fault though still) and adults into obese diabetic fat pigs!
nothing in this world would compel me to walk into one of their "restaurants(ha)"!

I don't eat the food but they always have useable toilets when on a long trip. You don't have to ask for the key like many of the servos.

I can't remember the last time I had a macca's - even though I love them.

Ever since I found out that all their meat is halal slaughtered, I've made a point of steering clear. I despise the fact that they serve only Halal meat, having willingly surrendered to the wishes of a minority and stuff the rest of us. Google halal slaughterhouses if you want to see my point.

No

Very good point if true. Never knew that.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw out west one day: it said "You're in cattle country now; eat beef you $#star&*" Fair enough!!

I haven't been to Maccas in ages but I went to try one yesterday with my boy and I was surprised too. It was really good and I could recognise all of the ingredients in it but for the lamb paddy. But still tasted very good. Then again all the new stuff tastes good for a little while until it gets back into line with the other mac crap. And the chips still taste better at hungry jacks

I don' eat Maccas on principle

Whenever I have to go there with others I take my own food and use their facilities. However I sometimes have the free seniors coffee. Oooo! isn't that a dirty trick!

I don't like Macca's and won't go in one unless forced by company.
I don't like their policies and vote with my feet.
I went to thelocal super butcher a while back and bought a case of Macca's for 60 dollars (400 in the box I think) so - about 15 cents each.
I ate one and yes it tasted just like a Big mac - so I fed the rest to my dog over a period of about 12 months. He's not as fussy as me.
I was amazed how much they shrink when cooked....

as per Consensus, sounds like its good, so will give it a try.
I don't always have Mac's, but don't mind them once in a way.
I think they're far better than kfc though, and wonder why they don't get so much flak given their food is so much more unhealthier, dripping in oil and all that.

KFC wraps aren't half bad. In France we had KFF (Kentucky Fried Frog legs)

Last had Maccas coming back from Vegas in 2005 at the LA Airport. Was about the only food place we recognised. 1 meal was enough for two of us with leftovers ... and they asked did we want to upsize it ...!!
Chips should not come in buckets !!! They could bail out New Orleans with a few of those things...
