The fast food poll

I tried the mcdonalds takeover menu yesterday.

The shaker fries are great, like sour cream pringles with a good hit of pepper on top. Maybe a bit more sweetness than I'd prefer, but definitely something I'm all for staying.
Sakura Sprite is suberb.
Then I had the pineapple mcspicy. It is exactly what it says it is to be fair, but you can imagine what a bite of cold plain pineapple would be like with the burger and it doesn't work. The pineapple is just a raw ring with nothing else to incorporate it. If it was grilled, caramalised, or has a sauce to bridge the fruit and savory it could be great, but it doesn't so it's not. I find it hard to believe this is how it is served in its originating country?

I’ve had the shaker fries in other countries before, think I’ve had a BBQ one and a cheese one before so looking forward to seeing what these are like, but I’m not a massive sour cream fan.

Greggs for sure as nothing more tasty than a fresh pastry. Their Baguettes are good to.

Do like Costa for their lattes and occasionally their food

I think the addition of cold items onto a hot patty has been a McDonalds issue ever since they started building the sandwich to order. They need to keep cheese, salad, pineapple at closer to room temperature. Or with the old system of course the warmer chute headed it back up a bit.

The KFC pickle burger is a thing of delectable beauty.

Unfortunately my local runs out of the frickles about 10 minutes after opening each day, so I've not managed to try them yet...

There's a Popeyes by my local cinema which has become my go to for fast food in recent times. Adding a Wingstop shortly soon as well.

Tried the Wendy's on my last few trips to Blackpool, just thought it was OK really.

I found the dried pickles a bit odd. Plus the drive-thru window lady joked to her mate that I’d come dressed as a pickle because I was wearing a green t shirt. I lost the confidence to order frickles as a side after that.
