Posts from The “McDonald’s” fast-food restaurant chain.

Sounds quite formal:)
That's just your opinion.
Do you eat at McDonald's, how often, and do you like it?

Sometimes you just have to... As for whether I like it... Well, I don't subscribe to the stereotypical opinion that the food there is of poor quality. It's made well, and as for the taste, that's a matter of personal preference.

I eat it every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Just kidding! I don't eat it very often... maybe once a month, sometimes even less. I have to admit, it's quite tasty. But out of these "fast-food" places, I like Sbarro, where they make pizza, even more. Pizza rules!

As far as I know, there aren't any of those restaurants in our city. So, I can't judge the quality or taste of the food they offer...

Is it really true that there isn't a single McDonald's in Perm?
I don't believe it. It has spread its tentacles everywhere it possibly can.

I completely agree with Exom; I've always found it amusing how people claim to hate McDonald's, but they still eat there all the time.
And the influx of customers is huge every day.
And the food is good, and the ingredients are completely ordinary.
I've even heard rumors that leftovers from the tables go back into the refrigerators... what nonsense.
The basis of the irrational "herd" hatred of the average Russian is built on a dislike of the United States, partly due to the efforts of our beloved Mr. Zadorny.
The only thing is that it's not cheap to eat there, but it's the same everywhere.
I eat there sometimes. It varies, really.

Perfectly normal fast food. I don't understand the stubborn hatred for McDonald's, and phrases like "why go there when there are so many good places" are just cheap boasting.

Well... I really love McDonald's, but I only go to McDonald's drive-thrus – they're almost everywhere in Moscow... First of all, I got hooked on Coca-Cola when I was a kid, and I still can't quit – I get shaky without a can of that stuff... + I love double cheeseburgers – it's just a sandwich, but you can't make it at home, and I always crave it when I'm driving :smile43: + French fries – I have a deep fryer at home, but they make it pretty well there + they have my favorite cheese sauce, which I used to eat by the spoonful in school... and I buy it there in packets :smile43: That's it... P.S. By the way, when it comes to other cities, when I drive to St. Petersburg in the summer, there's one in Solnechnogorsk and another one somewhere else, and I didn't like how they prepare everything there – it's all cold, tasteless, and there's no salt anywhere :smile27: IMHO... probably everything is bought faster in Moscow... everything is always hot and fresh there...

I don't even need to mention that everything there is quite affordable.

Unfortunately, I recently experienced the negative effects of this type of food on myself – I’ve had stomach problems. That’s why I used to eat there, but now I’ve stopped.

I've used McDonald's a couple of times abroad. They maintain a high standard of hygiene and are quick.
I also use it here sometimes – again, it's quick, and it seems safe.
I use it as a place where I can quickly and safely grab a bite to eat.

First of all, I got hooked on Coca-Cola in childhood and still can't quit – I get the shakes without a can of this stuff...

Wow, and I thought caffeine addiction was just talk... :eek: It's good that they stopped adding cocaine to Coke in 1906.

As for the topic – I can't stand McDonald's.
First, the food there is incredibly unhealthy. I'm not a fan of healthy eating, but after consuming their products, I had terrible, sharp stomach pains twice, so I've become more aware. That's what it means to avoid this stuff for a year or so, and then decide to try it again. I was in a hurry home, decided to grab a couple of Big Macs or cheeseburgers – luckily, there's a McDonald's near my metro station, it's cheap and fast. The result was disastrous, and the fact that it happened twice means it's not just a coincidence.
And secondly – it's not tasty. It used to be good (in my hungry student days:D), but after eating at normal restaurants, it's simply impossible to eat this stuff.

Even here, they're advertising McDonald's... Well, if someone wants to eat, they'll buy it; what kind of attitude can there be if you're hungry? But it's still better to cook something yourself... But in Voronezh, "Russkiy Appetit" is the best; it's a bit cheaper, and the quality is just as good. However, the best fast food is the pizza at our institute. ;)

In terms of health, "Kroshka-Kartoshka" is the most trustworthy of the fast-food options, but eating it on the go is, to put it mildly, inconvenient... Even in the car. :( And it's so hot that I just stare at it for half an hour, swallowing saliva – otherwise, a burnt tongue is guaranteed.
P.S. Buckwheat with milk is the best!:smile04:

So, I have a positive attitude towards McDonald's restaurants, but I can't eat there myself because my stomach can't handle it. However, my kids love going there and constantly drag me along. Of course, I buy them something simpler.

if potatoes sit for about 15 minutes after cooking, they become a cold, tasteless mess. By the way, we also have a deep fryer, but it's like a juicer – junk... "it wastes a lot of oil and all that." ...I'm still laughing about that documentary, "Double Portion." If anyone doesn't know, it's about a guy who eats only at McDonald's for a certain period, several times a day, 4-5 Big Macs, a ton of milkshakes... and then lies in bed. Then he says, "Oh, I don't feel well. Fast food must be really bad for you." Ha.
