So today Thursday, May 15, McDonald's is offering a free Southern Style Chicken Sandwich to everyone who purchases a medium or large drink and I'm a sucker for anything FREE. I haven't had McDonald's for over five years now and it's not even something I think about as a meal option but FREE is a very tempting offer. Now you could have gone to McD's for breakfast to get a free Southern Style Chicken Biscuit and then turn right around to get the lunch sandwich but I'm not a glutton for punishment and decided to just go for the lunch. Now that I've had it I can review it and in one word it was...TASTELESS!! It was like eating air.The only thing I could distinguish the taste of were the pickles, other than that I didn't know if I was chewing on bread, chicken or sauce. It all tasted the same. And what happened to the French Fries...also tasteless. Is this because they are cooking everything in vegetable oil instead of pigs grease? Is trans-fat the missing ingredient that makes it taste good? If so I say bring it back. If you go to McD's everyday for lunch you've got more serious problems than trans-fat but for those of us who are eating it to remember the taste from our childhood I say more trans-fat pig grease please. Needless to say I'm not running back to the golden arches anytime soon. I'm just hoping I don't need to run to the porcelain bowl from that meal.
