Title: Fast Food has jumped the Lobster
Post by: RW on June 20, 2015, 12:14:20 AM
So I went to McDonalds for a smoothie tonight and I saw the McLobster.  I gagged and gagged.  I gagged like 12 times just from seeing the picture.  I just gagged writing this.



WTF is wrong with this world?!

Apparently it is a Canadian thing. At least I hope it is.

ac_wtf  That's got to be Canadian thing. I have never seen a McLobster here. If I did, I'd probably be horrified.

WTF? It's here? I never go to Mcpukes but I never thought they'd stoop that low in thinking people would actually buy that shit?

It's for a limited time only so you better go and get one soon. You don't want to miss out on that. While you are there get a side of that poutine stuff you guys love. The combo just seems to flow so well,  don't you think?



Then wash the whole mess down with a vanilla shake. ac_toofunny

After that, make sure you aren't too far from a bathroom for about 12 hours and you should be okay.

Poutine is good Renee.  I don't order french fries but I can't resist poutine if it's put in front of me.  Try it.

Just to clarify, I wouldn't buy anything from Mickey D's besides an occasional muffin. Even then I have to be in the right mood for one.



KFC on the other hand is another story.

KFC tastes like deep fried ass. After my last experience with it I wouldn't touch that shit with a 10 foot pole. No offense.



Saw in the news today that some dude is claiming he got a deep fried rat in his box of tenders.

I agree with you, RW. To me, seafood does not belong in a bun except in some occasions. I've had fish sandwiches that I enjoyed but shellfish on a bun is not my favorite idea. I can have tuna sandwich but I cannot enjoy the idea of a lobster sandwich or shrimp sandwich. Gag!

I like anything in a sandwich.  In Japan they had fried noodle sandwiches :). A little high in carbs ... very tasty.

I love sandwiches.  There is just something about the McLobster that makes me physically and repeatedly retch.

... Maybe I should reconsider my willingness to try it.  Are they in Vancouver mcdonalds?  I will still try it (potentially) if they are here.  They have to follow food safe guidelines.  Probably safer than a place I know where they found a deep fried rat last winter.  :).

The McLobster Is Tearing Western Canada Apart

The East Coast was pretty shellfish to keep it for themselves.

WTF is wrong with this world?!


I went down ta Macdonalds and tried McLobster.



Here's my take:



Pluses



- appears to use real lobster, which is a healthy departure from their traditionally greasy, cholesterol filling food.

- No grease

- Lots of lettuce



Minuses:



- too much drippy creamy sauce

- no tomato

- soggy bun which tasted like a doughnut rather than bread. Wrong bread. Toasted rye or ciabatta a better choice

- smoking the lobster would be a good idea.

- sauce needs work, tasted flat

- you really need to season it to give it more flavor.



Otherwise a good start, but next time I will buy a separate bun, toast it, add some

Ayoinaise and seasoning to bering out the flavor. And oh yeah, smoke or fry the lobster in olive oil to give it more flavor, along with the tomato.



Not a bad start, but could be better.



Thanks for the suggestion, 'Real!

Well, I'll give it a whirl one more time before they take it off the market, but next time I'll try ta make the 'perfect' Lobster Sandwich.



Toasted, Roasted to perfection with all the seasonings and vegetables added.



MacDonald's has a good idea, but it has to be developed further.



And then it could be really good.



Lobster is a luxurious seafood, and was intended to be prepared as such.



Macdonald's is taking what is essentially a 'caviar' type seafood and slopping it onto a fast food bun.



But they haven't got it quite right...yet. It could be excellent, but it's not quite there yet.
