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

In the mid-19th century, 'Newcastle hospitality' referred the practice of not letting someone leave the room until they fell dead-drunk under the table

I should've put "great" in quotation marks, I guess. But I've certainly heard a number of people claim that "Timmy's coffee used to be great and now it's not." But I don't know whether they assessment of coffee is actually correct.

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?

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.

Didn't imagine that when Titanic had this article about him 24 years ago: https://www.titanic-magazin.de/heft/2000/april/gaertner-nagel-die-dunkle-seite-des-friedrich-merz/

"Sie nannten ihn Fotzen-Fritz" (that nickname has stuck with me for him all this time )

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

Went down a rabbit hole on this. It's not mayo

The mayo one is apparently the Mayo Chicken

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.
