Day 56 Lockdown - McDonald's

McDonald's

Welcome! Today is a very strange anniversary for a restaurant you might know called McDonald's. Enjoy!

It has been 80 years since the first ever McDonald's restaurant opened on this day. Richard James and Maurice James McDonald opened a fast food restaurant or what they called a 'Speedee Service System' to sell food that was tasty and fast to acquire. With a condensed menu consisting of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, potato chips, apple pie, soft drinks and coffee, in 1948 Richard and Maurice - known as Dick and Mac - renamed their establishment, christening it McDonald's. In addition to reducing their menu, the McDonald's brothers also simplified their Speedee Service System to something more understandable and more modern - Fast Food. Now, I love McDonald's. And now, even though all this virus thing is happening, you can get it again! Today as a coincidence, 30 Maccy D's - as we know it - have reopened their drive thrus meaning that you can taste dem lovely chicken McNuggets once again. Or you could have a delicious burger or apple pie. But this is all so those wonderful, front-line workers can enjoy food if nothing else. If in doubt, have a Maccy D's! Also you can get your mouth watering fast food via apps like just eat. My typical menu would be:

• A double cheeseburger with no salad but added ketchup and bacon
• Small fries
• Any fizzy drink - usually Oasis though
• Vanilla Milkshake

What's your perfect menu?
