I Broke McDonald's

I find McDs to be the easiest of the fast food restaurants to order at, except in n out (here in california!) since they have the protein style and it's a common request. Around me the McDs have a 2 for $4 sausage/egg mcmuffin with cheese deal right now, which is perfect since I can give the buns to the hens when I get home.
Now, ordering anything at my college campus that isn't somehow unsafe is stupidly difficult. I just pack my own lunch and forego main dining.0 -

I order a meatball salad, lettuce and jalapenos, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, spicy mustard, and olive oil. It is basically a meatball sub, only with no bun and plenty of veggies. But as soon as I say "meatball salad," they are not sure if they heard right.
Sometimes I'm at work and too busy to go out for lunch. If I write it down and send someone else, the workers at Subway know exactly who it is for because I'm the only person ever to order a meatball salad apparently.
Thats pretty much what my husband always ordered, just because it was cheaper and he got more meatballs. In Edinburgh you can order a tub of meatballs and they let you add whatever sandwich toppings you want.
I was really surprised how adaptable the restaurants are in Scotland. I grew up in San Francisco and Seattle and everyone's used to all the fussy diets there, I wasn't expecting them to be so accomodating here in Scotland, but they never bat an eyelid over any of my weird requests or detailed food ingredient questions.1 -

Definitely! The only time I go north of Cincinnati is when we go to some family thing at my brother-in-law's house in Centerville.
I may have to just take a day for myself one day.

Glad you found it useful. It can be a little nerve-wracking when you first try and order this way, since it's so unusual. But, you can get big savings, especially when you really only want one of the components in a burger and not the whole thing.
That works out to the same basic price I usually pay, after converting to US dollars.1 -
Can i order the sausage patties individual like too?

Even before Keto I ordered stuff without the bread because my surgery won't allow me to eat a burger, the bread, the fries, etc. So I would just avoid the bread. Now I don't eat fries either. I have never found a place that won't give me a sandwich without the bread. The bit about asking for al a cart is smart!1
