I don’t think that’s right. Mustard should be on int.
When I lived in Brooklyn (1990s) McDonald’s burgers there didn’t have mustard. That was the big culture shock for me moving to the big city.
Oh boy. McDonald’s veteran of the McDLT era checking in. adjusts dentures In my day yer basic Quarter Pounder had mustard, ketchup, pickles and onions. Cheese if you ordered the cheese variety.
Oops. That second “ketchup” should be “pickle.” I don’t like ketchup that much. (In fact, a burger and fries is pretty much the only food I use ketchup on. I will use it as an ingredient for a barbecue sauce base, though, so we can also count it for that.)
Yeah buddy! “Keeps the hot side hot and the cool side cool!”. Plus those things were a marvel of polystyrene construction. I really miss the containers, those McDLT double styrofoam ones really had good lift properties for throwing out a car window on the highway. I always tried to doink that stupid crying Indian on the side of the road in the forehead but my aim was never good enough.
You are one letter off. The usual slang term for McDonald’s food in the USA is “anus burgers.”
Yeah. New Yorkers are real dicks about our hamburgers. McDonald’s put mustard on the burgers in Cleveland, where I grew up, but ketchup only in NYC.
Mayo on a hamburger would make most NYC people gag, who consider it a “California thing” (I personally NEED mayonnaise on a well-dressed burger, along with raw onion, pickle, and mustard).
Mayo?
It’s people like you what cause unrest.
Dude, but you like burger sauce, don’t you? That’s just mayo, ketchup, mustard and usually relish mixed into one. There’s no real difference.
There is one place that mayo belongs: in jars, jars that are packed in crates, crates that don’t float and are liberated and set free in the middle of the ocean.
Looking at McDonald’s website you are correct. I’ve never noticed the mustard, though, but perhaps my local McD’s just skimps on it. I do live in a heavily Latino area, maybe they’re just not that into mustard.
?
Your McDonalds goes easy on the mustard, perhaps, because the Latinos don’t care for it?
Huh?
Mustard is one of those things where you’ll either get a single dot of it, or they drench it with the stuff.
I don’t know, I’m just WAGing. All the McD’s around me definitely put a LOT more ketchup than mustard on the QPw/C’s, to the point I actually forgot it was a standard ingredient on one.
Totally into ketchup, probably. :smack:
I’ve personally never noticed that. It’s usually something like, if I had to guess, 3 parts ketchup to 2 parts mustard. Ketchup is usually the main condiment, and mustard a supporting condiment. Like a big ring of ketchup on the bun, with a smaller ring of mustard within.
Don’t they have a machine that applies each condiment?
They did when I worked there in the 80s.
I remember their cardinal rule was consistency across ALL stores. The idea that some stores skip the mustard doesn’t ring true for me.
Sure there is. As a component of a sauce, mayo is subsumed into a better, larger whole. On its own, it has no place next to hot meat.
puzzlegal - Yes, they do. But it is quite easy to fill one of the reservoirs with something else.
Other than the Mac sauce, it’s never occurred to me to consider burgers based on what condiments they have on them. I never order a burger as it comes. And the reason to eat a McDonald’s burger is usually that your friends are going to McDonald’s.
Though, in my case, it’s just that they actually salt their meat. For some reason, Burger King just has that grilled flavor, and Wendy’s does seemingly nothing. Hardee’s does a good job, but they are more expensive and peppery, and I may not want peppery.
