My McPlant Burger Review – Tom L

My McPlant Burger Review – Tom L

Firstly I would like to say I didn’t mean to order it, I was being rushed by the head girl who thought we were going to die imminently in Ipswich on a Tuesday evening if I did not hurry up. So you can understand my upset when I discovered I had accidentally ordered what I thought was the worst thing on the menu.

I have always trusted my gut, and after tasting the burger I was pleasantly surprised that my gut was right again; it was disgusting. Words cannot sum up my mix of anger as to why had Isabella tricked me into ordering it, disgust as to why this ‘food’ was even allowed to be sold, and confusion – why would this happen to me, what karma caused this?! To sum it up it tasted of flavoured plastic and smelt like a chemistry lab, it stung my taste buds and felt gritty as I digested it. 

From this experience I learnt a lot. Firstly, never get a McPlant burger, because they’re vile and offer little purpose on the menu beyond fooling handsome young men into buying them. Secondly try new things, at least I know now I don’t like it so wont make the same mistake again, its much like me trying to play a musical instrument, learning a language, doing maths, cooking, being a spy and reading. Finally don’t be peer pressured into rushing things, picking a McDonalds is a complex process, so I’ll make sure to stand up to Isabella in the future as clearly the power has gone to her head. 

Finally, I have been mocked all week for my mistake, from the Headmaster all the way up to Mr Havers; however, I get the last laugh, as I donated £0.01 to charity for that burger, so I can say I’ve saved the environment and donated to charity in one evening.
