QPWC and a fillet of fish is my go-to meal at McDs. No fries. They’re bad for you.
Why do you want to shut down McDonalds?

One day I’ll try ordering the near mythical “land, sea and air” burger.

Chickens don't fly. Or even if some of them fly a little bit factory farmed ones certainly don't.

They’re birds. Close enough.

Id happily give the beef and chicken combo in a burger a bash, but fuck lobbing the fish in there too.
Couple of things I have noticed with the McDs £1.99 vouchers.
WHSmith always seem to have loads at the till. Whenever I go in they are happy to dish out loads at a time.
If ordering at the machines #scabtills you can use multiple vouchers in one order no problem. They almost never ask for the voucher when you collect.

Where do you get these vouchers from, apart from WHSmith (I didn't know they still exist)?

"Fast-casual" Mexican. They have a buffet line (sorta). You pick out the ingredients you want in your tacos, burritos, etc. A server puts it together in front of you. They're one of the ones advertising "fresh" and "organic" ingredients. (Despite this, they've had a number of embarrassing outbreaks of food-borne illness).
I pop in to get Viz magazine and the vouchers are by the till. Suppose they are only meant to get a strip (of six) but they usually tell me to take as many as I need. Usually don't expire for a month.
Dunno where else

If in London, the free newspaper 'The Metro' prints them at least twice a week. you can just scan the barcode at the machine when ordering, the only people who ask you to hand them in are the extremely rare times a duty manager is on the frontline, even then the expiry dates are never considered.

I've just noticed that this page, as linked to in the second post on this thread, is still up. It's very of it's time!

Would you trust the "beef" in a McDonalds burger to actually be beef?

yes, what do you think it is, horse?

In the UK following the horse meat debacle yes. As much as I'd trust them not to have a bit of pork fat in the fillet o fish anyway.
I think that McDs are held to a very high level of scrutiny.
They certainly have had less in the way of health risk/allergy/etc issues than other high st names in the UK

Beef, horse, rat droppings, "pink slime", the odd human finger. Production lines in the US move so fast, that it can't be good for worker or food safety.

It's another few months (or years lol) till we can drop our food standards to your level.

Keep them as long as you can. Here's a study done in the US, using dna testing:
Your burger may contain human and rat DNA
Even back when I was eating meat, I wouldn't eat hamburger or any ground meat product. Too easy to hide contamination in there. I've personally seen meat workers, take past-dated meat off the shelf, regrind it, and put it back out with a new expiration date.

I was led to believe in the U.K the standards are high, and McDonalds burgers are pretty much 100% beef, no matter how many conspiracy theories people like to believe.

Ground meat (with a little onion and stock) is the national dish where I am right now.

Where are you? There's a lot of places that have a dish like that.

As the article makes clear, the human and rat DNA are contaminants, not deliberate attempts to sell human or rat meat, so these are likely to be just as present in non-meat products produced in similarly unhygienic conditions. They come from human hair/fingernails/sneezes etc. Rat DNA from rat shit in dirty factories. Meat production facilities don't have the monopoly on those.
Nice headline though!
