Silence of the serious lambs
I'm sure haters of the golden arches will never try this burger but for those of us like myself who sometimes dabble in the black magic of McDonald's I think they've come up with a new burger that might actually be worthy as a stayer on the menu. On first inspection The Serious Lamb Burger ($7.95) looks nothing like its glorfied pinup photo on the advertising material. Perhaps the large slices of red onion have set the ingredients off kilter. It sizes up larger than the other menu burgers which is also reflected in the premium price. This one is best not attempted one handed if you're wearing a nice suit. The flavour combination is agreeable to my palate even with the over cooked egg and heavy bite of red onion. A better constructed burger without cantilevers, a runnier egg and thinner slices of onion would make it better for me. Their reliable crispy Fries ($1 small) completes my quick lunch without a postmix soft drink which I tend to avoid these days so I can believe I've been that little bit healthier.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Something new to try for the McDonald's fans, I think it's one of their better new menu burgers they've introduced compared to others I've tried like the Sydney Stack
CONS: Bun is probably high in sugar, Can be messy to eat due to its size, Poorly presented looking like a dog's breakfast, No nutritional information printed on the wrapper
MUST TRY: Avoiding to eat too much McDonald's
