McNuggets

 

Chicken McNuggets

Chicken McNuggets (introduced in June 1983) are a fast-food product offered by the corporation McDonald`s. They popularized the chicken nugget, which had been invented in the 1950s, and are one of the most popular trademarked items on the McDonald`s menu. McNuggets, as they are commonly known, are small pieces of formed chicken that have been battered and deep fried. They are sold in packages of 4, 6, 10, 20 and come with a choice of various flavors of dipping sauce.

The Chicken McNugget is a small piece of minced chicken and mechanically separated meat held together with phosphate salts and chicken skin. The pieces are coated with batter, lightly fried to set the batter, individually quick frozen, packaged, and sent to stores. At the McDonald`s stores, the McNuggets are deep-fried and sold.


Big Tasty Burger

The big tasty burgers McDonald`s has on the menu are both filling and affordable. A hamburger (or simply burger) is a sandwich that consists of a cooked patty of ground meat that is fried, steamed, grilled, or broiled, and is generally served with various condiments and toppings inside a sliced bun, often baked specially for this purpose. Hamburger also refers to the cooked patty of ground meat (usually beef) by itself. The patty alone is also known as a beefburger, or burger. Hamburger is actually a distinct product from ground round and other types of ground meat. However, ground beef of any form is often commonly referred to as "hamburger." A recipe calling for `hamburger` (the non-countable noun) would require ground beef or beef substitute- not a whole sandwich. McDonald`s big tasty burgers and fries are available for your enjoyment.


French Fries

French fries (North America), or chips (United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, and most Commonwealth nations), are pieces of potato that have been cut into batons and deep fried. In areas where "chips" is the common term, "French fries" usually refers to the thinner variant found in US-influenced fast food restaurants, or to the even thinner "shoestring potatoes". In North America "chips" generally means potato chips (called "crisps" in the UK and Ireland), which are deep fried very thin slices of potato that are usually served at room temperature. A more recent hybrid of thicker cross cut splicings, and generally eaten hot, is "waffle cut potatoes" (not to be confused with potato waffles made from reconstituted potato).
