I'm a bit of a chain snob but I do like las iagunas, it's expensive for what it is but it seems a lot of places are these days.

Was thinking of a medium double-quarter pounder meal with a Fanta personally.

First time i've had it today, still doesn't hold a candle to the Burger King burgers in my opinion but like you said it's the best one they do by far now. Quite enjoyed it to be fair.

Thought I’d let you know, Maccies have launched a triple cheeseburger today for only £2.19, and it’s a permanent addition to the menu.

They do seem to be just maxing up their regular menu items. We’ll probably see a 3 patty mega Mac soon.

I like the idea of the triple cheeseburger though. Whenever I eat one, it tastes so good, but I just wish it was a little bigger.

Last week I went and got 2 cheeseburgers and a milk shake...sometimes I crave it. But next trip might be a couple months away.

Well it’s a permanent addition, so theres no worries about it going.

Sounds a bit much tbh, the double is fine imo. Perfect balance of low quality meat, cheese, bread, sauces & 'salad'.

Could you perhaps elaborate what exactly makes their meat low quality?

Fine, it isn't grass-fed/wagyu type stuff, but what makes it lower quality as opposed to say average quality?

For me, it's on the dry side.

For me, it's on the dry side.

Based on the patty nutritional info, they use roughly 14% fat beef (forequarter and flank), and don't cook with any oil, so that would indeed make it a bit drier (I prefer 20% fat mince personally), however fat content alone doesn't dictate quality, as that is really down to cut and trimming. Hell, usually higher fat is deemed lower quality in absolute terms (even though marbling is a sign of high end meat).

That's why I was interested in why MrMarvelous deems the meat low quality.
