00:00Hi my name is Jack Marshall, I'm a digital food and drink reporter and welcome to another one of
00:04our food reviews. Now before me you have what you would assume would be a pretty regular
00:09McDonald's meal. You've got a drink, you've got dessert, you've got some chicken nuggets,
00:13you've got some fries, you've got a couple of sauces but this is apparently Stormzy,
00:17the UK grime rapper and very famous global artist. This is his go-to meal which is currently
00:23available in Maccies. You can literally go in the meals section, order a Stormzy meal,
00:26you get given this, this is his go-to order. It even comes in very chic fancy packaging with
00:33Stormzy's name emblazoned all over it and you even get some limited edition stickers as well. So
00:38I mean when someone offers me limited edition stickers there's only one answer I'm giving and
00:42that is yes please. So yeah this is Stormzy's go-to meal, let's have a bash, try it out,
00:47see if it tickles uh tickles everyone's fancies. Cheers! Right so I had a bash at the Stormzy
00:53McDonald's meal and I've got to say first off, straight off the bat, it's not usually things I'd
00:58go for. I wouldn't go for a Sprite, I will fully admit I am quirky and an oasis man or a milkshake
01:06if I'm feeling a bit more deserty. Obviously fries are a staple, nuggets are a staple but the
01:12apple pie, I've never had a McDonald's apple pie in my life. I literally only know them as like a
01:17cultural touchstone as something which is piping hot and will burn your mouth if you eat it too
01:21quickly. So this was kind of like a new combo, a new Maccy's combo to try out and overall I think
01:27it worked. Pretty good, you can't go far wrong with this kind of grub to be honest if you're
01:32looking for something pretty standard Maccy's fare. But yeah solid, the fries were okay.
01:38Sometimes you can get dead soggy fries which you can tell I've been sat in the big Maccy's
01:41tray of fries for ages. These tasted quite fresh, that was good. The chicken nuggets,
01:48don't know why I couldn't remember what they were called for a second there. Chicken nuggets were
01:51genuinely some of the better chicken nuggets I've ever had from Maccy's. They were dead fresh, they
01:55were nice and crispy, they were a lot more kind of golden and a darker kind of colour than what
02:00you might normally get when they're a bit more pale and you can tell they've almost been rushed.
02:03Really nice. The Sprite, yeah fine. I don't mind a lemonade, today's a bit of a warmer day as well.
02:10Lemonade does kind of lean more towards a kind of like refreshing pop if you're gonna have one of
02:14them. Like if on a really warm day I'm always going to lean towards like a lemonade or Sprite
02:18or 7up or something like that rather than like a full fat coke which I think is going to be a bit
02:22almost like syrupy and not really going to refresh me. So that was nice. The apple pie,
02:27I've got to say I'm underwhelmed. Not that bothered for the apple pie. Yeah I just don't
02:33know if I was in the mood after the nuggets and the fries for something was so cinnamony and so
02:40kind of like deep fried pastry. It was a bit intense. I don't really feel like I needed it
02:47at all. Whereas I think the other option as part of the meal deal was an Oreo McFlurry.
02:52That probably would have been more my kind of speed, my lane. But I went for the apple pie like
02:57I said because I've never had one before and I thought well what a chance to have a bash at that.
03:00So yeah overall solid. Props to Stormzy, fair enough that's your choice. It's not my order but
03:06yeah thought I'd have a try of it. Pretty solid overall. Some excellent nugs, some solid fries,
03:12drink was okay. Not something I'll go back to. And the apple pie, I've not tried it now. Very
03:17underwhelmed but that's how it goes. Anyway let us know what you think of Stormzy meal. Let us know
03:21how it completely differs if it does from your usual Maccies order. But yeah let us know if
03:26you're a massive apple pie aficionado too and I've caused great offence with my lack of adherence to
03:31to the apple pie from McDonald's. But yeah thanks for watching. Cheers!
