just thought I would start this to discuss the speicals that McD, BK or KFC do

In the last few weeks Ive had

KFC texan wrap which was pretty good and filling although a little pricey.

Mcd have the CBO which looks good but the chicken was very taste less.

Anyone else tried these.

I did want to try the CBO but was worried it would be a let down, think I'll stick to mayo chickens and cheeseburgers!!

Haven't had a KFC in a long time.

I give it 10 posts before someone comes along bashing it saying its cheaper and healthier to make them at home

Hope not mummypigget, I'm starting to get annoyed about that, the food and drink forum was always a safe place to chat about lovely food - now it's becoming a minefield of only homecooked food is good.

As my grandad used to say ' a little of what you fancy does you good'

I like fillet o fish from macd's but I've not have one in years.

I tried the CBO but didnt think that much too it. I really prefer my usual Big Mac!

Tried the KFC one as well, that I thought was quite good.

They were doing 3 for £4 at my drive-through McD's but I find sometimes they change the bun whilst the third one is always cold no matter how quickly I shove them down my gob

I would love to do the fillet o' fish at home but have never seen tasty (or square) fish burger in a supermarket and doing my own would be too much fuss

Family tried the new chicken thing the other day said it was ok, to me it looks like a chicken burger with different sauce in it.

I had a strawberry milkshake and it had no flavour didn't even drink half and had to throw it out. Disappointing as always a fave of mine

Its much cheaper and nicer to make them at home though.

I murder my own hand reared cows and chickens and butcher them(kitchen gets a bit messy but its worth it)and make my own burgers.

LOL! LOL!
(i want a laughing smiley)

I too live a 'Good Life' experience - where I withdraw warm eggs from my chickens bottoms - and have them poached within 2 minutes from bottom to plate. (not a very pleasant phrase I'll admit )

That's if I don't want to fry them - which I do from my own homeprepared gee butter - that I've extracted from the milk from my own yaks in the back garden.

I also run my own bakery-for-one in the backyard where I can use my own ciabatta rolls for my brekkie.

Beats a MaccyD's Egg Mcmuffin any day of the week...

Did I mention I also make my own ketchup, squeezing the pulp with me own fair hands from my tomatoes on vines in the greenhouse? Anyone who uses the bottled stuff is a true peasant...

and as for pre-bottled wine - WELL! I have my very own vineyard on the estate, so I have no time for such fripperies and folly....

I get my minions or my beautiful buxom wife to do that of course.

After all I am Mr Laurence Llowelyn Bowen - a fop, a dandy if you will. I am the local landowner and squire to boot. It IS still the 17th century right?

Wow post 16 and its not been tarnished!!

I agree Sem, this place was troll free and we can and shared about the wonder that is food from a healthy salad to a giant satty fat pizza (which I am having for tea, to keep on topic, I may try the revenge from dominos!!) and now you can't have a discussion with someone descending with a closed mind, not wishing to contribute to the discussion!!

So true. It always tastes better when someone else does the work. I paid £10 for a non-alcoholic cocktail at a top London restaurant. It was worth it just to have the sommelier say "Your drink will be a few minutes, the barman is just crushing the fruit". It tasted fantastic too.

I had a CBO yesterday and found the chicken to be very herby -so somewhat contradicting your viewe, which is always amusing.

It was nice and hot though as I went in at a quiet time and it had to be made fresh the only snag being they had to bring it over and by the time I got it, I had already devoured my large fries.

Domino's pizza base is awesome, best of the pizza chains by miles- but that is no excuse for their extortionate prices
