On Tuesday of last week, I found myself, as I so often do, in Toowong feeling slightly peckish. For reasons only understood by me at the time I decided to got to McDonald's. I ordered chicken nuggets and chips (or fries). These are pretty much the only things I go to McDonald's for most of the time. I am quite a fan of chicken nuggets when in the right mood, and McDonald's chicken nuggets are.... adequate, but even an adequate chicken nugget can be a good thing, if as I said before, in the right mood. The major plus for McDonald's chicken nuggets is that they are of the battered variety, which I prefer over the crumbed sort. The real downside to these nuggets is that they are a little bland. McDonald's do offer a number of condiments to accompany the nuggets, but I've never really been attracted to any of them. However, deep fried, battered, greasy pieces of chicken are tasty enough on their own for the most part. On this occasion, the batter was a little tougher than what I was expecting, but it wasn't overly tough, so it worked out in the end. I have reviewed Hungry Jack's chips in this blog before, and McDonald's chips are completely indistinguishable from Hungry Jack's. I'm sure even seasoned fast food consumers could not tell the difference in a blind taste test. Subjectively, I felt that McDonald's chips had slightly more salt than my last encounter with Hungry Jack's chips, but I can't be certain. Even so, I would have liked more salt. In conclusion, I was in the mood for something not out of the ordinary, and i got something not out of the ordinary.
