I've noticed many pubs are hybrid. You can use the qr code still or go to the bar.

Yeah I don't care. If I ever visit Canada and stay in one of your very famous and very over-priced hotels I will make sure to get Tim Hortons. The experience would just be insufficiently Canadian without it.

What's different about a McChicken in Canada? :huh:

There was a time when my kids were younger I'd take them to McDonalds somewhat regularly to have a happy meal and then go play in the indoor playground - it was cheap food and they enjoyed it.  McDonalds had a meditteranean veggie wrap that I would get - it probably had a load of hidden calories but it made me feel pretty healthy eating it.  Sadly it's now discontinued.

I believe the McChicken is different in UK. The mayo is sweet. :x

Canada's McChicken is still a full size sandwich. The USA seems to only have a smaller junior version.

Interesting.

I continue to maintain the only legitimately good thing that McDonald's makes is the Egg McMuffin, but if forced to eat at McDonalds later in the day my go-to is the McChicken.  It's tolerable.

Eh.

I don't know. Tim Hortons is just Canadian in a way that wraps at McDonalds aren't.

That might explain why it is nasty.

Fish seems like a particularly bad thing to get for fastfood. At least of the franchise corporate type.
