I'm usually hungry again an hour after I eat at HJs or Maccas. I have a bit of a problem with that.

If you really want to support the lamb industry and not Maccas CEOs pockets go to your local butcher and buy 500g of minced lamb and go and make some rissoles for the bread you have at home.

I usually choose HJ's over Maccas as their burgers are actually properly sized.

Or I just make a couple of Sab Burgers. These babies make the Big Mac look positively microscopic.

LOL, Mike. Hope this is good for the Aussie farmer, as lamb prices have been around $3-4 per kg and last year did hit $6.00 . Been a bit lean for profit this year. All the best.

Haven't had a Maccas since they dumped the McOz. Something about beetroot that says 'burger' to a kid of the 70's.

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
Have a look at this. This is an Australian Halal slaughterhouse. Just look at the cattle struggling while they bleed out...... MacDonalds should be ashamed of themselves.... there is no excuse for animal cruelty. Ever.

I wonder if Maccas have tried to patent their burgers.

About 60 years ago there was a popular comic strip featuring Popeye the Sailor. Popeye lived on tinned Spinach that gave him super strength but I think there was a moral in the story to make kids eat their spinach which was seldom liked by children.

Popeye had an offsider Wimpy who lived on "Ham"burgers. However the "Ham" was seldom part of the burger. Over the years Wimpy must have appeared in hundreds of the strips and I think he had a different recipe for a burger in every one.

When I was young there was a local Hamburger shop that used to have lovely tasty odours wafting out every time you passed it. However the children of good god fearing parents were not allowed near such unsavoury places frequented by the riff raff. Ah! how times have changed.

Before Maccas took over the fast food industry I used to travel up and down the east coast between Sydney and Cairns by car. While on the road I lived on Hamburgers. To find a place that served good burgers you would look for an eatery that had a lot of semi trailers parked outside.

Had a lamb burger the other day for lunch and it repeated on me for the rest of the day so won't be having that again.
I usually go for the fillet-o-fish and big Mac set up and I find that Maccas is an excellent laxative.

It usually has the opposite effect on me. I often eat Maccas when driving long-distance for that reason ... fewer pit stops!

KFC does the trick for me. Forget laxative pills, KFC is the real deal.

Peer pressure got the better of me.
Based on the posts here I went to Macca's for the first time since... I can't remember when.

I didn't like the burger much to be honest. Pretty average.
Got the meal deal and changed the coke for a choc shake.
The 'fries' were horrible, and so was the shake.
I remember now why I stopped going there 20 odd years ago.

Don't have it often, but it's back to the Whopper for me.
And HJ's chips.
And HJ's shakes.
