There’s a special place in my heart for a McFlurry, and the Toffee Crisp McFlurry might just be the best version there’s ever been. Take McDonald’s famously thick, creamy soft-serve, swirl through chunks of Toffee Crisp — that beloved British chocolate bar with its crispy cereal and caramel — and you’ve got a dessert that…
Mozzarella Dippers are the side I order when I can’t decide between fries and something else — and then I end up wishing I’d just ordered two portions of dippers. Breaded mozzarella sticks with a rich tomato dip: it’s a combination that has no business being as good as it is, yet here we are….
The Filet-O-Fish is McDonald’s quiet achiever. It never shouts for attention, it never gets a limited-edition relaunch, and yet it’s been on the menu since the 1960s and has one of the most loyal followings of any item. It’s a simple thing: a crispy fish fillet, half a slice of cheese, and tartare sauce in…
The Chicken Legend is the burger I order when I want McDonald’s to feel like a treat rather than a quick fix. It’s a step up from the standard chicken options — a proper crispy chicken fillet in a toasted sourdough-style bun with cool mayo and fresh lettuce. It feels more “restaurant” than “fast food,”…
There are menu items you order when you’re feeling adventurous, and then there’s the Double Cheeseburger — the one you order when you just want to be happy. It’s been a McDonald’s staple for decades, and for good reason: two beef patties, two slices of melted cheese, pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard in a soft…
The first time I bit into a McPlant, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much. I’ve had enough dry, sad veggie burgers over the years to be sceptical of anything plant-based served through a drive-thru window. But this one surprised me. It’s juicy, it’s got proper bite, and if someone handed it to me…
Every menu has a heavyweight — the burger for when you are not messing about. On the McDonald’s UK menu, that burger is the Big Tasty. It is bigger, smokier and more indulgent than the everyday classics, and ordering one feels like an event in itself. I do not order it every visit. But when…
There is a specific kind of happiness that only a McFlurry delivers. It is the dessert you order “just to see” and then defend fiercely when someone tries a spoonful. I have strong opinions about many McDonald’s items, but the McFlurry might be the one I feel most protective of — because when it is…
Few foods have the universal diplomatic power of the Chicken McNugget. Put a box of them on a table and watch: kids, adults, sceptics, foodies — everyone reaches in. I have shared more 20-piece boxes than I can count, and I have never once seen a single nugget go uneaten. They are the great leveller…
There is a quiet corner of the McDonald’s menu where the chicken fans gather, and the McChicken has been holding court there for years. It does not shout about itself like the beef burgers do. It just sits there, golden and crispy, waiting for those of us who know. I am one of those people,…
