Only things i've ever had from Mcd's since i was a teenager are the sausage breakfast muffin or if the grandkids absolutely make me stop at M on a road trip it'll be fillet of fish, large fries and choc shake. Put some fries on the fillet and dip the rest of them in the choc shake before eating.
All the grandkids do it now too.
Quoted from mooch:Mmmm.... Chocolate Fries!
Never seen those. Not that i spend much time at all under the golden arches. remember seeing McSaurkraut in a M in Germany once.
Quoted from RCA1:Pretty much, yes.
yeah, i've made it many, many times. Was just wondering how some one can not like tartare but like mayo. Must be an aversion to the pickle.
Quoted from TheLaw:Hey ots not the real thing so do whatever you have to
Of course, but I've never steamed a bun before, dunno whether to use a lid or not. Want soft buns, not soggy ones and thought someone may have a tip or two.
Had two with fries on them and a choc shake to sip at the same time last week. That's why i wanted to make some, McD's is 20 mins away and i only go in there once or twice a year if i'm on a trip.
Always get the same thing;
Two fillet's, large fries, small shake. Dip the frys in the shake too.
Quoted from tomdrum:Hopefully not dying from reality.
Ain't you a barrel of monkeys?
Bet you get invited to heaps of parties.
Was going to question your original statement but saw the result before i typed.

Quoted from skink91:He’s just jelly he can’t enjoy the FOF.
It's your fault for telling the troll to shut his dirty mouth 
When actually it was his colon needed removing for cleaning purposes.
Isn't medicine a wonderful science? You can track long term dietary damage down to a single source at a particular age.
Quoted from Beatnik-Filmstar:Amateur.
[quoted image]
funny as fuuck, but careful...I was once moderated for altering a someones words in a quote to share a joke with them.
Quoted from underlord:That looks…sad.
Tasty af! But…sad.
Here’s hoping it tastes better than it looks!
I thought it was a pretty good effort at fish and chips for a drunk guy.
Hope you enjoyed your well presented meal as much as i enjoyed my fish sanga's.
Tartare is just mayo, lemon, capers and chopped gherkins. I like to add fresh green peppercorns and some lemon rind and a bit of juice. Lime works well too.
Some people put dill in it.
I wouldn't try to copy big M's recipe as homemade is my preference. But i'll use the squeezy bottle one if i just want a little.
Quoted from Jaybird815:Here in ‘Mercia Tartare is a dish of raw meat usually beef or horse served with a raw egg yolk on top.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_tartare
Oh yeah, a 'merican dish.
"The tartar is a preparation that is commonly made of raw meat or fish, macerated with different seasonings, sauces and to which is sometimes added egg.
About its origin, there are basically two theories, and in both the meat is its main ingredient. The first hypothesis states that it is a dish originating in Central Asia, where the well-known tribe of the Tartars placed the meat between the saddle and the back of the horse, so that it softened while they rode. The other theory states that it comes from French Polynesia, where it is common to consume raw meat and was popularized in hotels of French origin in the early twentieth century, a time in which the prestigious chef Auguste Escoffier carries out an update of several sauces, including the tartar sauce."

Redbubble for the T shirts https://www.redbubble.com/shop/filet+o+fish
Quoted from tomdrum:In 1979 working at McD's I opened the standard 45 piece box of filet-of-fish. There was 2 square pieces that still had scales and a fins on them. Manager said to put them in "waste bucket". Quality control at its best. I used to have fill the tarter sauce tubes, it came in in 1 gallon containers. We'd pour it in and scrape the carboard gallon container. My worst memory was cleaning the fish fry vat, smelled like rank well used pussy. YUM.
I'm guessing that's why managers get the big bucks. When the decision on what to do is too tough for normal people to make, they step in, step up and get 'er done.
I never would have thought to throw the shitty bits away.
Thanks for preserving and sharing that memory.
Quoted from Pablito350:On Etsy- The ultimate keyring for your machines!
[quoted image]
Cheese is supposed to be on the bottom (or loose in the box, or stuck on the outside of the box). It's a fake!
Quoted from Coindork:Thats just not right.
We DO need someone to chuck rocks at though. He can be the fat kid.
Quoted from skink91:Fish for breakfast is one of my favorites, but is pretty rare in most of the US. That is a mistake.
My parents used to fish for a living. Garfish split and a sprinkle of lemon pepper under the griller (think you guys call it broiler?). Great brekkie, peel the backbone out and slurp in. We'd roll them with a beer bottle to break the little bones before cooking.
I remember on a fishing trip in my thirties before we headed out, i was eating these, my mate walked in and asked why i was eating the bait? 
Quoted from beelzeboob:New Zealand...
In Australia it's breakfats menu till 10am or so. The bastards will do selected all day menu items vis a vie the Big Macs my mate got, but not all. I believe they have breakfast all day too, but i won't downgrade a Fof by swapping it out for a sausage muffin. I've eaten more maccas since i started reading this thread than i did in the two years before it.
My favourite golden arches T shirt. Get some comments when i wear it to the RSL club.
I can take one for the team.
Left a pinball show at 6 am for a 4.5hr drive home on Monday. Intended to get FoF for sure as i didn't stop on the way down.
Then realized i'd be home by the 10.30am menu change.
GreazyDimSimsItWasPunkin
Quoted from underlord:Ten pineapple-sits and a Hail Mary for your transgressions.
It's somethin', but taint no FoF.
Quoted from underlord:Thought it was Not.
That's fucking funny.
Quoted from Coindork:You need to start your own thread for that.
This is the Filet-O-Fish thread.
Can't see it getting much traction.
Only Popeye round here is a cartoon character.
If you mush up an apple, put cinnamon in it and cook it to sludge, it's no longer an apple.
So if people want to take a FoF, mush it in with funny sauces and other condiments, well sure...go ahead.
But it's no longer a FoF and doesn't belong in a thread devoted to the one true King of Foods.
They are aberraters.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I approve the use of ketchup.
It's called tomato sauce here, people put it on food so their kids can't taste the food. That way they get more variety in their kids diet, but the kids think they are eating the same sugar/salt thing all the time.
Kids usually grow out of it by seven or eight and discover variety in food and unique flavours.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:You guys seem militant with your condiments. Like Jimmy "the tulip" Tudeski.
Everything in it's place.
Ketchup and mustard = hotdog.
Tartare sauce = FoF
Pork chop = apple sauce
peaches = cream.
See the pattern emerging?
Start fucking with it and you'll get peaches and mustard.
Quoted from pinballinreno:Ketchup on a hot dog!
I believe its a crime in Chicago....
We must have got it from somewhere here in the land of Aus. Hot dogs are either a German or a US thing.
In any case, the point it the point.
All those examples and this is the bone you guy's are choosing to pick?
I'm not an advocate, merely making a point.
If not the hotdog, then what fucking good is ketchup at all? It's not even part of a Bloody Mary, it's completely orphaned if you take the hotdog away?
Certainly not listed in the ingredients of a FoF.
JustAddedFoFToMyDictionaryPunkin
Quoted from poppapin:Great on fries!! I think you guys call them chips...
No, that's what the chocolate thick shake is for, dipping salty fries.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Irony right here. Lol
Nah, you're reaching for straws, so to speak.
Quoted from pinballinreno:that looks seriously good actually....
Probs cause it's on crockery instead of paper
Not sure what pay rates has in pride of work. I've had lots of monkey work where i still compare myself to those who work alongside of me and make sure i ring the shed on the way out on Friday afternoons. I don't work harder or better when i'm in a higher paid job, and can't imagine anyone else doing it either.
Your work ethic goes with you, if you're in a job you hate, find another or you will get sick and loose the people around you with your attitude.
Quoted from gonzo73:Decent bun, little off center...... 7.5.
Generous mark. From this angle we can't even see if it has cheese or tartare, let alone the presentation of same.
If anyone asked you guys what you earnt you'd be insulted, but it's ok to classify people by their wage?
Never seen anything like this before, seems really ignorant unless I'm missing something.
Can't classify people by their colour, religious beliefs, sexuality, intelligence, handicap or what gender they believe they are, but you can expect things from people according to their earning ability?
Time you guys grew up.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I just find it humorous how triggered you are in this thread. An old mad getting in a tizzy over a sandwich he rarely eats. Over condiments he doesn't even like, or uses. Lol
We're all here to bust each other's balls and rave about the FoF....and you just come off as a hypocritical douche. But I digress....stay classy punkin.
You are reading too much into my comments my man. I was merely interpreting the corporate speak.
Another upvote Tommy.
So far you've judged me on age, location, distance from a McD's, nationality and disposition and a whole bunch more.
Go you.
Hope you get over this fixation with me and have a nice day mate.
(i still say the corporate speak is as i said, with much experience dealing with it)
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Poser confirmed. Lol
No question i'm a poser. Self described no less. if that's the worst that can be said about me i'm happy.
Quoted from Sinistarrett:No more besmirching! You guys are both sullying and tarnishing the Sacred Filet O Fish thread with your intercontinental bickering!
Sincere apologies, i am trying with all my might not to argue or bicker despite the treatment i am being offered.
Quoted from skink91:Sounds like we need to start a petition to get the FoFs down-under up to snuff?
Dropped my fucking chips on the ground before i got to dip too, all round bummer. Fixed it with a maple bacon roll for dinner though.
Quoted from skink91:All 1 player everything!
Saves all that effort on foreplay.
Quoted from skink91:Not to mention performance-anxiety and all the size-letdowns!
You definitely don't want cheese on the side of the box either.
Quoted from Electrocute:On the other hand. The Big Mac is the perfect hangover remedy. I think the cure is in the secret sauce.
KFC and gravy always did it for me. Started making my own spirits though and hangovers were a thing of the past.
Aaaahh it's a thing here sometimes. Looks like only Canada atm though.
https://www.mcdonalds.com/ca/en-ca/product/double-filet-o-fish.html
Quoted from Sinistarrett:Heck yeah I didnt think many people went in for grilled gar! I grew up eating gar, mullet, catfish, and whatever else came out of the river. Gar is awesome. Maybe not quite the same as a FoF, but delicious in its own way.
I mean salt water garfish, i've never tried your aligator garfish, but they look like fun to catch for sure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyporhamphus_australis
Our garfish are a native bait species and are usually only 8 or 10' long. Best slit into a half fillet from the belly up and then rolled with a beer bottle to break the little bones, then you can peel the spine out, the little bones kinda melt. Dusted with some lemon pepper and grilled they are beautiful for brekkie.
Quoted from zombywoof:I say that about calamari. Your garfish filets present well. I’d try that!
Google provided that pic, but we did it very similar.
I eat stacks of squid. I do lots of chunks but i do the little arrow squid trawler trash too, grilled with olive oil and garlic and pepper on the weber.
Couldn't find a bait squid pic, but this is one of mine.
Quoted from tomdrum:That close to the lunch menu if you were in the drive thru and said "Ok I'll wait here", they'd of dropped one in the fryer ASAP.
Not a drive through guy i have to say. Nor do i use self service checkouts.
Red-ragger unionist till the day i die and extremely pro jobs. Plus it's quicker to get out and walk into the store, and i don't eat in the car so have to step out anyway.
Quoted from Coindork:Payment sent.
I’m going to rock a suite and wear this tie next time I order a FOF and demand they make it perfect.
Will report back.
You go rock star!
Some talk the talk, some walk the walk. 
A video would be fuking ace!
Get your wife to do it and if we hear her talking to herself about how fucking stupid this is to amuse a bunch of old men on an internet site, you win the internet.
Quoted from SirScott:Sounds like you should have just gone with the original 2 for $6 and done self-assembly.
What? So cheaper, better, more? 
Quoted from skink91:I remain completely unconvinced the standard order FoF can be improved upon.
Fries on top are the business. but they are not extras, they come with the FoF meal and so by Ronald's Law should be there.
O/T, a mate of mine once got busted for a bank robbery warrant while sitting on Ronald's plastic knee.
I believe the Hamburgler got off scott free.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I just judge the sandwich...not the people who enjoy it.
Yeah, yeah. Of course you fuckin do.
Quoted from mof:Question - how do you get tartar sauce to not be so runny?
I did chill it 30 minutes but that wasn't enough to tame it.
The flavor was fine, but adding the lemon juice I think made it a hair more runny than standard mayonnaise.
Don't need lemon juice, if you want the lemon taste use zest. If you want a thinner sauce, by all means dilute it with juice.
Tartare needs mayonnaise, capers and gherkins. Dill or parsley is optional.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:The longer i stared at that frying pan the more confused i became! What part of a fish is that!?
Called a culet generally. It's by cutting a larger fish across the body with a bandsaw.
A fillet, or filet as we love them, is created by filleting the fish. Cutting it along the length of it's body so the meat comes off in two pieces with a backbone wasted, instead of cross cut steaks if you can imagine that.
Quoted from Jamesays:must be the same dingbat that i asked for an orange soda,she responded we have coke and diet coke.lazy
An orange soda dingbat coming up!
Quoted from zombywoof:Well, one might argue that the rot set in when you started dunking your fries in your shake! (Which doesn’t sound too bad, actually. I confess to putting a layer of fries on my Big Macs back in the day.)
If you want to make that argument you'd want to say that i started it because i put the fries (that are part of the meal) on my FoF.
The fries and shake thing are very separate to the destruction of the FoF balance.
Quoted from skink91:I believe the fancy version of this word is ‘poseur’.
Never been one to put on airs while watching myself in the shop windows on my chopper.
Quoted from vid1900:I'm still sexually active
Well, you've got me there. Been 8 or 10 years for me.
NotActiveAtAnythingMuchPunkin
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:Vid’s on this thread?! Now things can really get fun!
Sheriffs already shot me.
Quoted from tomdrum:"Taste hit the spot"? I would of thought "Enjoy eating pig scraps". I worked for McD's during the 1st intro. We'd grill up a dozen, toss them in a warmer with the sauce and there they would sit and leak a gross oily substance that would collect on top of the sauce. When they were gone another dozen hit the warmer with a top off of sauce with the same gross oily mess from the 1st batch. Rinse and repeat till the end of the day.
The long rolls were great. We'd make a sloppy Joe using a 1/4 lb burger patty and some McRib sauce and onions.
Pig scraps are one of my absolute favourite foods and the creations using them are famous all over the world.
without pig scraps there would be no bacon, ribs, sausage, salami, cabanossi, coppa, chorizo, pancetta, soppressata...i could go on.
They say the only thing you can't use from a pig is the squeal.
MMmmmPigScapsPunkin
Quoted from skink91:What fun would the weekends be without the pig squeals?
If you are talking about the porcine one's they are not real cheery. It's like you are trying to murder them, even when you are not trying to murder them but just move them from pen to pen.
Quoted from SuperGrafx:Good advice.
I submitted a formal complaint to Mcd's corporate management. I dont expect any action, but at the very least they will be made aware of the continued decline in FoF quality in my region.
Tell me you linked to the thread.
Quoted from tomdrum:Just a sandwich, hopefully the sun will rise tomorrow.
Will be red though.
Quoted from skink91:And red red rain.
Maybe frogs?
Quoted from Jamesays:the scrotum style bun.
Heavily steamed scrote.
Quoted from tomdrum:Never bitch and get more food from the kitchen. Restaurant 101, the employees will serve you their DNA in one way or another. "Think before you Bitch".
No, bitch and get a coupon.
EatTheTragedyPunkin
Quoted from Pinbub:[quoted image]
I bet that's what the guy with the snatchburger a few posts back used to get his!
Looks like it was made in 68.
Quoted from SuperGrafx:Since my usual location is under renovations, I stopped at a different one this evening.
Not the best, nor was it the worst, but still a bit underwhelming.
I may 'peace out' of the FoF scene for a bit since the quality continues to slide. At these prices, I expect my sandwiches to be assembled with some modicum of care, but I guess that's too much to ask.[quoted image][quoted image]
Come on man, you're unhappy with that?
It's a beauty, slide that bun over and wolf in.
The fuck is an sauce and what has it got to do with Szechuan food?
I have spent weeks in Chengdu and other parts of Szechuan and never heard of it. The only refence google has is a totally Japanese sauce for fish?
Quoted from bflagg:It’s Szechuan sauce for nuggets. It was around when Disney released Mulan animated movie. Then a few years back Rick and Morty made it a part of the story line so they brought it back limited then at random I noticed it this week. Why it’s says AN I have no clue.
My favourite part of China, my favourite food. Trouble is they are in love with the offal, i don't do offal. Sechuan food in the northern coastal strip is more to my taste in Beijing etc. There you can get your hot pot with actual meat. I think in Chengdu, the export all the meat and just keep the offal.
Every corner stall has jerky though, maybe that's what they do with the meat?
Hotpot restaruants are ace. You order your dipping food by weight and it's brought to your table where the pot boils on the table ready for dipping. Superfuckinghot on one side and Prettyfuckinghot on the other side of the wok.
Convinced me, it's hotpot tonight or tomorrow. My bowels will forgive me in a few days.
Quoted from SuperGrafx:That's a lot of Tartar Sauce
They still put too much on for me. Overwhelms the fish, i scrape half of it off on the side of the box.
Quoted from Elvishasleft:One of those things like glue or sausage.. you may not want to see how it really gets made.
Who wouldn't want to see sausages? Wonderful hobby.
Quoted from SuperGrafx:The children in your photo look less than enthusiastic about your sausage making shenanigans.
I've had that pointed out before. The day wasn't for them in this case, they had to be somewhere and this was where their parents were.
My grandaughter is the one in the background actually playing.
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.
Quoted from pinballinreno: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.
schnitzel-fries-salad-meal-pork-schnitzel-plate-fries-chips-salad-white-plate-wooden-table-beneath-123019893 (resized).jpg
Point to say, that a proper meal is on par or cheaper than a takeaway fill the hole from the clown now.
Quoted from skink91:I don’t know where this wine thing started… the only proper thing to drink with a FoF is HiC orange drink.
Please make allowances for the choc thick shake fans.
Quoted from titanpenguin:Said who? I’ve brought a pint in before to make some Jack and cokes. (The only thing Jack is good for).
When you were 12?
Quoted from titanpenguin:21. Dyslexia sucks. I have it too.
Sneaking drinks in as a grown up adult hey?
There's probs a support group for that.
Quoted from titanpenguin:I’m in a few whiskey clubs. It’s the best way to find new mashes.
Best way to find new mashes is to experiment with grain bills. Alternate grains in your bill like triticale and millet can make an interesting mash.
But a mash is a very small part of a whiskey.
AndHasFuckAllToDoWithFoFPunkin
Quoted from skink91:But ketchup is unholy miserable death. McD tartar sauce is the essence of life, so…
It's a good way to disguise the taste of food with sugar and salt so small children will eat it. But we should have grown out of ketchup by ten or so.
Acceptable ingredient for a more complex sauce.
Cocktail Sauce;
½ cup whipped cream
2 tbsp tomato sauce
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/ tsp mustard
1 tsp brandy
salt and pepper.

Chilli Crab Sauce****;
½ cup peanut oil, 2 tsp fine grated ginger, 3 cloves of garlic3 hot chillies, 1/3 cup tomato sauce, ¼ cup sweet chilli sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp salt, red colouring.
Fry Crabs or chicken till cooked. Perfect for popcorn chicken or pork pieces.
On low heat cook ginger, garlic and chilli, do not brown. Add sauces, red and salt, bring to the boil. Add crabs and simmer 3 mins, add a touch of water if needed.
Sweet and Sour;
½ cup sugar

Try the Chilli wing glaze, exceptional and keeps forever in the fridge.
Quoted from titanpenguin:So, the FoF is for those without complex tastes? I’m confused on how the internet works, but I think that’s what you’re saying.
Or are you saying the FoF is an already delicate balance of flavors that cannot be changed without upsetting the flavor balance?
Merely suggesting that cocktail sauce of any description is not an ingredient listed as FoF.
Quoted from Jamesays:We were discussing ketchup/catsup and its uses,agree not for FOF unless its what you like.
You dip your fries in your milkshake thats not on FOF either.
You fucked it up.
I can order fries and a shake only and it has nothing to do with a FoF (as if i would).
But my particular FoF crime is putting some of the fries (undipped) on my FoF.
So if you would like to disparage me for FoF corruption, that's the place to start.
Quoted from xsvtoys:I love FoF but these pictures are depressing. McDonald's should be embarrassed. I would be ashamed to say I had a business that operated in such a lazy, slipshod manner. It really is pathetic you cannot even spend the additional two tenths of a second to put a piece of cheese or some sauce on the top of a sandwich instead of half off to the side. This is not that difficult.
No need to be upset. Don't get worked up enough to type about it.
Easy fixed.
Quoted from bayoubilly70:FOF isn't about quality... its about FOF. Some people get it, some don't.
The entitled class want their FoF made with presentation in mind. They are entitled to it because the employees get a publicized hourly rate.
Us working class get it, it's junk food, presented, eaten and forgotten with a warm glow of partly full.
Quoted from SuperGrafx:Nothing wrong with demanding a halfway decently assembled FoF, considering the prices they charge these days.
It's not about being entitled or working class - we pay our money and it's reasonable to receive a product that's been competently assembled.
Paying folks $15 /hour to work at McD's doesn't seem to be translating into a better experience for the consumer, so there's that.
I don't think your expectations align with managements expectations. That's where the entitled comment comes from.
I'd expect they give less of a toss for presentation than they do for speed of service and throughput. I doubt there's ever been a franchisee that's looked in a bag and told the employee to go back and redo it with the sauce in the middle.
Those entitled people want it immediately, it's important it's 'fresh'.
It also has to be cooked properly, with the right amount of brown on the bun and not too dark a fillet.
Then it has to be assembled in a tidy, pretty manner.
Choose any two.
I'll never be able to understand the constant references to someone's rate of pay. Especially when it's such a small amount compared to most of the people here.
FFS there's people here who whine that the cheese is on the wrong side of the fillet.
Just get it down your gob.
Quoted from SuperGrafx:Well then let's agree to disagree.
If you're earning $15 or $20 or whatever fast food workers feel they deserve nowadays, then I would expect an increase in quality, cleanliness and attitude. This is a lot of money to be paid for unskilled labor, and there should be some accountability in play just like there is for a software developer or management type who makes $20 or $30 an hour (workers who actually had to put in time, education and sacrifice to earn their right to work in such a role). If you're content with just skating through life doing nothing to get ahead, but yet feel like you deserve $15/hour to slap a fish patty on a bun, then consumers have a right to demand better for their money since they are directly paying for these increased pay rates.
You are able to ask for better assembly, but the workers doing the assembly aren't the ones you would be addressing. It's managements job to train people who work for them and set expectations.
I don't believe this is in your bill of rights to DEMAND this, though believing it to be is a major part of the definition of entitled people...
This value judgement that you make on people just because of their employment is pretty sickening really. You also assume there is no training or performance management in that workplace.
If someone decides to work for a living doing one thing you have decided they are all 'skating through life doing nothing to get ahead', but other people you have decided earnt their employment.
Once again, if management expected their workers to pay attention to this then that's what they would be doing or face failure at performance review and have to undergo repeated training.
Quoted from Jamesays:Maybe we should send these photos to corporate since theres no on site quality control .
That's the ticket!
Are the stores franchised like here?
if so it would be a local endeavor to reach the stores near you if you actually gave a flying fuck how it goes in the box.
Just goes to show that they don't get an avalanche of complaints and it doesn't show up in their customer focus groups or corporate modelling.
If more people thought it was important it would be implemented.
Don't get me wrong, i'd like it if it was prettier and i didn't have to peel the cheese off the cardboard sometimes.
I just know it ain't the workers fault if they haven't had it stressed as important by management, and has bugger all to do with their rate of pay.
If it was an isolated lazy worker the same thing wouldn't happen at every store around the world.
Quoted from skink91:You guys are harshing my FoF vibe.
Red ragger all my life. I've dedicated years to sticking up for the worker.
Won'tBeStoppingWhileIHaveBreathPunkin
Quoted from tullster:If you'd eat one blindfolded it would pretty much taste the same each and every time.
This.
Quoted from skink91:No arguments from me… I think I have even said it in here… the problem is shit-managers and shit-companies. Especially if the line workers are kids… if the manager is shit, they will never impart anything of value to them as workers. You can always tell a restaurant that has a good manager, not just by the quality/cleanliness but if there are youngsters working there you can see it in their faces (bad managers suck the life and happiness out of them, good managers will give them purpose and they will find a small bit of happiness and purpose in it)
Truth, again.
It's world wide at Mickey's and blaming the assembly guy who's doing what he's told by corporate shows a lack of understanding of the world.
Quoted from pinballinreno:For $6 I want my FoF to be perfect or Im sending it back.
Im not driving thru, Im in the dining room for this. Its one of my guilty pleasures and I want it right.
Ill wait for it.
Sometimes you gotta put your foot down and demand excellence.
That will work.
Quoted from RyanStl:Getting everything between the two buns seems like a very little thing to ask for, plus it's what you are paying for. I don't understand this entitlement BS when comes to a consumer wanting something at least semi-close to what is being advertised to them.
That will not.
Quoted from RyanStl:Getting everything between the two buns seems like a very little thing to ask for, plus it's what you are paying for.
But you are pointing out that entitlement is BS while saying you are entitled to it.
It's like we speak a different language or that you don't put a single thought into what you are saying.
I said that sitting there and sending it back till you are happy with it will get you a perfect sandwich, and as a bonus, your tenth one will be fresh as.
Complaining here that you are entitled to it because they advertised as perfect in pictures will not get you a better sandwich.
Simple enough?
Went on a trip on the weekend and got a fix in on the way back.
Double fillet looked good value so i got two of them.
Too much fish, not enough bread. It all get's a bit mushy.
The double cheese is good, but the double sauce is not.
Got through 1.5 of them, but not again.
Quoted from Jamesays:[quoted image]
Only good things in sausages.
Quoted from skink91:Are you suggesting I keep a running FoF tab that I add to my sale-price?
You do you, but if it bothers you, you could?
Quoted from Jamesays:I have started a Go fund me so I can afford 2 FOFs at my local McDs,no deals around here for quite a long time.
A mate of mine rang yesterday and said she was coming to visit. Do you want anything from town 3/4hr away?
Yes please 2 x FoF.
They'll be cold.
Don't matter.
Quoted from RyanStl:What a friend!
She was rewarded with brownies.
Quoted from poppapin:Taste is all that matters.
If you are a cow.
But for a person, presentation, smell, freshness, balance, texture and many other things make up a pleasant meal.
Quoted from o-din:Ours makes an occasional mistake, but the quality is as consistent as can be expected. It's one that has been in operation as far back as I can remember. At least the 1960s.
I guess being closer to the source can help.[quoted image]
What a beautiful building. Someone took some pride in designing that in a way that doesn't happen any more.
Quoted from Jaybird815:It seems there’s deals everywhere except in skinkland.
Raises hand.

Quoted from skink91:Nah… it was just me beating a dead horse.
Was also funny.
Quoted from vid1900:Since a Whale is not a fish, it was probably a better name for whatever the hell that thing was made of.
But a whaler is a fish. I've eaten plenty of them.
Quoted from Jamesays:looks like a shark.
Yes. It is a shark. A Whaler.
Quoted from RyanStl:And, sharks are fish.
I laid the bait, but he went and did a sensible check before responding.
Quoted from RyanStl:Well it it's in a taco James would be all over it.
The missus took that photo. I assured her i could handle the fish and get it in the esky, as i'd done it many times alone, but she wasn't gunna be part of the blood and mayhem.
It swam free...ish. Had a hook (not stainless) it had to deal with. 
Quoted from Jamesays:Sharks are good,I have caught and eaten plenty.
Always popular at barbies over here.
I make a mean fish taco. It has to use shark, as it's the only fish that holds together while tossing on the barbie, green prawns chopped, some squid, sweet chilli sauce and all the usual suspects.
Quoted from RyanStl:You know what, I didn't even realize this was the FOF thread. No tacos allowed here. Put that shark on a steamed bun with some tartar sauce and half a slice of cheese.
No homemade fish sanga's allowed here either.
I've been called a besmircher before.....
Quoted from vid1900:Arby's 2/$5.99
No coupons or scam-ap installation required.
Tasted good, lots of tartar sauce
