I donā€™t remember @mcdsg having a Christmas special in years past, but the Angus Mushroom Supreme Special ($10.50) sounded too good to pass up. I mean, it literally has SušŸ…±ļøreme in the name.ā €

Hold your horses folks, it may be bougie, but itā€™s McDonalds bougie. The standard Angus beef patty thatā€™s deployed on the Angus burger line is also here, but itā€™s smeared with a smattering of herb aioli, a multiplicity of mushrooms crammed in between the buns, a little dollop of caramelised onions and a couple of leaves of lettuce. Gotta get your daily dose of fibre in somehow, no? ā €
ā €
The soft rolls utilised as burger buns here were rather decent for maccas, and as expected, the Angus beef patty was dry & overdone. That deficit was made measurably worse due to the distressing lack of delicious & lubricious herb aioli. Seriously, itā€™s not that hard to be a tad more heavy handed with the sauces, people. In the (often memed) words of Joe Biden, cā€™mon man!ā €

Well, at least the button mushrooms and caramelised onions managed to scrape salvation at the last second for this burger. They were both excellently sautĆ©ed, and their earthy, sweet & unctuous qualities really ameliorated the mediocre patty of what is supposed to be Angus beef. I'm not gonna lie folks, if the Mushroom SušŸ…±ļøreme came with a more charitable dollop of herb aioli and a less overcooked beef patty, I'd gladly chow down on it again.ā €

Well, on a happier note, Mickey D's brought their potato wedges back! These are surprisingly sumptuous, but the real OGs will know that KFC did it first way back when.
