Looks as though the guy was deliberately trying to make the food look bad (dark lighting, the salad is practically ‘drowning’ in chili, and if the KFC bowl picture was taken close up, the chicken pieces probably would look less as though they were pet food).

I have been to that site and although the introduction is snarky and facetious it utlimately fails in the goal to slam fast food. I got the impression the writer has never been truly hungry and must have zero experience shopping because nothing ever looks like the advertisement or picture on the package. I have not had a couple of these but frankly all these items look ok to me. Surprise - even the KFC bowl that looks mushy was praised by the guy if it is a guy. I would think it strange to get it all the way home and find the cheese shreds had not melted.

Yes, I was just saying that this person tried so hard to be above it all and then ended up praising what I admit is the least attractive thing pictured - the KFC bowl. He says it was really good! By the way I personally think the real life pictures look much better than the ads! I don’t want a fluffy sandwich and I would much rather have the real chili/taco plate than the one in the picture!

That Canadian Lobster Roll “burger” sounds good. So does those burgers wrapped in pita.

The McHomard, as is usual for McDonalds, does not fare that well against the local competition in terms of taste.

We vacationed on PEI and New Brunswick this summer and my American wife finally had one. It was okay, but the locals had much better taste and mouth-feel consistency and price.

Ostrich burgers in Australia?

Ostrich is good.

I think the shamrock shakes were supposed to be mint.

Haven’t seen them anywhere this summer; IMO the “mayo sauce” they used as a binder spoiled the taste.

Yeah, a McDonald's Lobster Roll isn't near as good as one from Red's Eats, or other similar place, but its hard to go too wrong with good lobster.
