NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, or so the saying goes – but when you work as a journalist, you do have the beauty of expensing one in exchange for content.
So that’s what saw some of Metro.co.uk’s staffers eschewing the usual canteen slop in favour of McDonald’s brand new McCrispy, which has been added to the menu in more recent weeks.
Made up of 100% chicken breast fillet and topped with a ‘crispy, crunchy coating’, the McCrispy is topped with ‘iceberg lettuce, black pepper mayo and a delicious sourdough-style sesame topped bun’ – all for the princely price of £4.99.
The burger, which is replacing the much-loved Chicken Legend after 15 years, has won a number of celebrity fans since it became available – Celebrity Juice host turned renowned food critic Keith Lemon described the foodstuff as ‘bang tidy’ – but does it really stand up to the taste test? Two writers have their say.
