Saw it on the news and on the menu. It's Angus.
Anybody tried it yet?
Hamburger
A hamburger is a hunk of ground beef served between two pieces of bun-configured bread. Hamburgers are often served with a variety of toppings and condiments. It is named for the region in which it was invented, not for the kind of meat (as is often mistakenly suggested).
McDonald makes a new huge burger!
Well I guess it really must be huge, if it was on the news. How big are we talking here?
I love the Burger King Angus we get here in the UK, if this new McD's one is better, I might make the switch.

" Seems that Mcdonalds are trying to recreate the success of the Burger King Angus burger in the UK over in the US?I have no idea how successful the Angus Burger was but I would assume it must have been, either that or Mcdonalds are getting desperate for ideas."
To be fair to them, it might simply be a matter of them recognizing Angus meat as being the most flavoursome cost effective meat for a burger. It may well have been too expensive to import the meat into the US back in the day also. And I can well imagine there was little interest in the breed from Americans, who probably too a "US meat is Best" approach. Especially after mad cow disease... However, since then chefs around the world and food connoisseurs have been raving about the meat, and it's now gained in popularity all over the world. I imagine McDonalds have many farms breeding certified Angus on home shores now, which is why they are able to do this.
BK's premium product tastes far superior than McDonald's currently, that must piss them off, which is why they are doing this.
I can see Angus beef becoming very popular in the US, there's no better advert for the breed than this.I can also see BK in the US following suit and making efforts to bring the Angus to the US also. They will have to if McDonald's start selling a Angus burger.
I had one of those 2 days ago the mushroom and swiss...it gave me such bad diarrhea...my god its not worth it.
I've had angus burgers at other places and they never made me get sick.
" I tried it 2 days ago, my aunt suggested it. A decent burger, but it still retains some of that nasty oil aftertaste every burger from McDonalds retains (why I don't eat fast food). Still, I could see myself having another. "I've never had an aftertaste from any burger from McDonalds.
I've never had an aftertaste from any burger from McDonalds.I've sensed the aftertaste from McDonalds for years. No other restaurant gives me that, and I've gotten the same after taste from McD's at many different regions (not just my local McD's that has a problem). I skip on other fast food joints for other problems, btw.

Its pretty big, it doesn't look that filling but I haven't been able to finish a Big Angus Combo yet.
almost tastes like a real hamburger (compared to other stuff at McDonalds)
to me the one to beat is the Harvey's Angus burger
" almost tastes like a real hamburger (compared to other stuff at McDonalds) to me the one to beat is the Harvey's Angus burger "Harvey's is so great, yet they never seem to catch on. Several of the locations in the city have closed down, forcing me to drive pretty far if I ever want some Harvey's. Don't get it, there is such a qualitative difference there it just kind of bums me out they cannot succeed. Its not as fast, but its fresh and really, really good.
McDonald's Augus burger is straight up horrible, it's super greasy on the outside and somehow dry on the inside.
As a Canadian, I'll agree with the earlier recommendation of Harvey's for anyone up here who wants an Angus branded burger from a chain.
"There's still interest in this awesome food?Whats with all of these old hamburger threads being bumped all of a sudden?
This one is 7 months old.
"
I know what taste you're talking about. It's the taste of clogged arteries, and it's the reason why I don't like fast food. :P" @CL60 said:
