00:00 Hello there, it's Richard Hunt here.
00:02 Well as missions go, it could be worse.
00:04 Trying out the latest burger from McDonald's.
00:07 In this case, the new McSpicy burger with Frank's mayo.
00:12 This is a hot burger, so it's a bit of a challenge I suppose.
00:17 I quite like hot things, but there's a question, is it too hot?
00:21 And it's going to make your face go red and your eyes water.
00:23 Not a good look really, or is it going to be a let down when it's not hot enough?
00:27 So, we'll soon find out.
00:29 Here it is. It's arrived in a rather attractive bag.
00:33 Just get the thing out, give it a bite.
00:35 Here we go, in a red and white box.
00:38 Okay, the moment of truth.
00:40 Let's have a look. There it is.
00:42 Can you see that? It's come in one of these sort of buns.
00:47 Wow, let's see.
00:57 Wow, what hits you straight away, it's the Frank's mayo.
01:03 It's really flavoursome, it's vivid, it's creamy, but it's got a bit of a kick to it.
01:09 It's quite hot.
01:11 Chicken is crispy on the outside, which is okay.
01:19 There's lettuce there, jalapenos, cheese.
01:23 I'm not really a fan of lettuce really.
01:25 It's a rather dull thing. Whenever I get a Big Mac, it always seems to be too much lettuce.
01:30 I'd rather have a quarter pounder.
01:32 Normally I would avoid these chicken burger things, but this is quite nice actually.
01:38 It's the Frank's mayo.
01:46 This definitely adds an extra dimension to it.
01:50 It is hot. It's not so hot that it blows your head off.
01:55 It's definitely a slow build up as well.
01:59 It kind of kicks in gradually.
02:02 At first I thought, "Ah, it's not really that hot."
02:04 Nah, it's nothing really.
02:06 But actually it comes in a kind of wave.
02:10 It's really good actually.
02:13 Normally if I went to McDonald's I'd say, "Have a quarter pounder please."
02:18 But this, I don't know, I might be inclined to say
02:23 "Could I have one of those McSpicy things please?"
02:27 Because it is actually nice.
02:29 That mayo, the hot mayo, I'll show you.
02:32 It's an orangey-yellow sort of flavour.
02:36 Very creamy, rich.
02:38 It's really nice. It's not just the fact it's hot, it's got quite a nice flavour.
02:42 I'd definitely give it the thumbs up actually.
02:45 Yeah, it's a thumbs up from me.
02:47 Excuse me while I just scoff the rest of it.
