Thank you for your still very lively discussion participation.:yay:

Two weeks ago, there were again Burger King vouchers .... The proverbial "downfall" ....:rofl2:

At the moment my favorite is the Whopper combined with 6er King Wings and Pommes Frittes and Cola.
(and the 2 for 1 Junior Whopper offer...)

Thank you.:)

the only one i come across on my commute is a burger king which i do prefer for cheeseburgers.
i always liked mcdonalds fries better though, however, i haven't paid for those in the last ~20 years cause the pricing is ridiculous.

I've tried many McDonald's and a few Burger Kings. Do note i don't actually like burgers, so this is mostly my experience with the fries. I simply didn't like Burger King fries, nothing in particular just didn't like them.
Now, McDonald's vary a lot between countries.
Italy has a very hit-or-miss McDonald's. There's around a 70% chance of really good fries and nuggets at my local McDonald's and a 30% chance of them being kinda meh
Germany's also isn't bad, but i've only tried it once.
London has a consistent quality, but they never put enough salt for me.
Dublin has a consistent quality, and not a lot of salt albeit more than London.
Slovenia has consistently terrible McDonald's. The fries were like rubber in all the three different McDonald's i tried there.
Japan McDonald's is the absolute best thing on this world. The fries were absolutely heavenly and the nuggets were amazing. No McDonald's is better than Japan's.

I guess they don't have this in Japan (or anywhere outside Holland?)

One thing that confuses me in Thailand. Ribs are really popular, but as far as I know, McDonald's Thailand have never done the McRib promotion. And I'm sure I would have known if they did; I'm all Peter Griffin when it comes to the McRib

Ever since I found out burger king just adds the "char" flavour and paints on the grill lines, it's taken away from the flavour a little bit. It was what, the past 10 years or so they stopped actually flame-grilling their stuff? It's hard to deal with the change from legit to microwaved. They also don't cook their nuggets for long enough to make them crispy (when I request to cook them longer, and they are feeling kind enough to do it, they taste far better). Their chicken sandwiches aren't very good anymore either. Fries are great though.

Mcdonalds...well. I have one near me which is the worst food I've ever eaten. it's just...terribly run with terrible equipment and management. Plus they always get my order wrong, poorly cooked/not cooked long enough/gross tasting, and take forever. A few minutes away is one of the best run ones I've seen. Their food is always brilliant. Nuggets are cheap and tasty. Super fatty though so I can't do it often, but it's a nice treat. So ya know, it varies wildly in quality.

Oh, ask for a mcdouble, onion and cheese only, add mac sauce. Cheap bigmac. Also ask for no salt on the fries. Usually they'll just shake off what they've got, but sometimes they'll just give you fresh ones.

Personally I prefer 5guys, taco bell, or Popeyes. That chicken sandwich is legit.

Man, the regional stuff is usually the best. McDonald's poutine fries are pretty good, if a bit runny. I would adore the have curry here in the States.

I will say when I worked at BK we definitely broiled em for real but that was 5 years ago.

The issue is really that after we do that we put them in warmers for god knows how long waiting for someone to order one.

I wonder if it's a store-to-store thing, if franchisers get an option to or not, or what. All I know is the ones around me most definitely fake it lol.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way
