    They used a lot of sauce, which I like. You got a good one.

    I was gonna go 9, but now that I see that sauce on the outside, I think we gotta deduct points for that -- more like 8.8 ?

    placements:
    Bun 10 ( -2 points for the sauce on the exterior )
    Sauce 10
    Cheese 8
    Fish 10

    Are they using a new cardboard container for the FOF?

    Mine were always wrapped in blue wax paper...

    #1710 1 year ago

    Been a while but an FOF today. Tasty. Tasty.

    No blue wrappers down here.

    #1713 1 year ago
    Quoted from thekaiser82:

    I wonder if the little diced onions like what they put on their burgers would be any good on the FoF?

    I’ve tried it and it’s pretty good, much better than the slivered which overwhelm the FOF in my opinion.

    #1714 1 year ago

    I am mistaken about the blue wrapper debacle (it's been a few months since I had a FOF).
    I looked back a few pages at some of my prior FoF photos and they all came in a cardboard box.
    My mistake - carry on!

    That is not a big deal but what is a big deal is you not having a FOF in three months.

    Feed the need.

    You know what I think is funny? I noticed you only posted on Pinside 150 times in 5 years which is low compared to most. I checked what you post about out of curiosity. 135 out of 150 posts in the FOF thread?! Lol. Now that is dedication! I dig it!

    No go get a FOF.

    You Magnificent Bastards, its been six months, but I'm back, i was gonna head into town for Cigarettes, then I saw this stupid thread pop up again.

    The ketchup Hethans drove me away... but I'm back, now I'm headed into town for cigs and two FOF Onions added.

    I'll report results soon.

    Lord Poseidon calls me back.....

    #1722 1 year ago

    Damn Busy at 4 pm.....

    Looks decent , construction is lackluster, Lord Poseidon would cast his chef in the Crakens cage for this mess.
    View from my deck is prettier than the FOF's.
    Added Onions and pickles for a change.
    Taste is spot on though.

    Either they were overcooked or were cooked in old fryer oil. That darker brown filet should be golden brown..

    And yes, the view from your deck is great.

    The deck is shaded.... the fillets look darker in the photos, they were good.

    FoF for lunch today

    Bun 8/10 (not sure what those freckles are)
    Placement 9/10
    Taste 11/10

    I don't know why it tasted so good today, but damn, it tasted good! And the fries were screamin' hot. I gotta say, this McDs that I go to is doing to right.

    Good looking FoF right there. Freckles and all.

    #1732 1 year ago

    I would eat that.

    #1733 1 year ago

    7.0. Perfectly edible, but the Small Pox lookin bun... is no fun.

    #1734 1 year ago

    I smell a couple FOF heading my way next time in

    We get them in the mail here. Which works for me because I don't use the app.

    Quoted from Zartan:

    [quoted image]

    McDonalds has priced themselves out of the “junk food” market. I’ve been a steady customer of Panera Bread, Chilis, Jersey Mikes and so on. It’s a couple of bucks more but the food is better.

    I do like the Filet of Fish, but $2.50 for a small order of fries? (it’s a gamble, 50/50 chance I feed them to the garbage can or the parking lot birds)

    #1742 1 year ago

    I can get a counter meal at the pub with a chicken snitty, chips and salad etc for the same price as 2 x FoF, a large fries and small shake. Or i can have roast of the day, bangers and mash etc.

    Counter meal is served on a plate with a knife and fork.

    Lunch special from the Chinese takeaway is $5 cheaper than the golden arches too.

    #1743 1 year ago

    Chicken Snitty ???? you must explain......

    #1744 1 year ago
    Quoted from gonzo73:

    Chicken Snitty ???? you must explain......

    chicken snitzel, kinda like flattened chicken strips, breaded and fried with a side order or potato or beans or kraut or whatever.

    I like it with sauteed greens.

    Its really good!

    Sorta, that's usually a pork schnitzel here and called Vienna Schnitzel.

    Chicken is served with salad and chips and is a summertime staple at the pub meal scene.
    This would be $12-15. You could get a beer with it for the same price as the FoF order that i place when i'm on a road trip.

    Point to say, that a proper meal is on par or cheaper than a takeaway fill the hole from the clown now.

    The best shnitzel I have ever eaten was rabbit shnitzel over mashed potato, topped with blue cheese cole slaw.

    Oh man, that all sounds excellent.

    #1748 1 year ago
    Quoted from Electrocute:

    McDonalds has priced themselves out of the “junk food” market.

    FOF I bought last week was $5.08 with tax! So yeah, they are getting crazy price wise. And yet a McDouble with fries a large drink is $4.24 with tax.

    In perspective, in 1976 when I worked at McD's a FOF was .45, a gallon of gas was .60 and I made minimum wage of $2.30 an hour.

    #1749 1 year ago

    I agree McD's is pricing themselves out. Still you can two for one FOF from app, which is a good price. If splitting the meal the basket of fries is a good deal with the BOGO FOF

    #1750 1 year ago

    Im a big guy and can eat 4 FOF without any problem, they are kinda small....

    The problem is the ridiculous price they are asking!

    I can get a Rib eye steak dinner with all the trimmings for the price of 4 FOF.
