Had one. Didn't like the texture of the patty, but I figure that's often the case with lamb burgers. It's a nice size though.

The free double quarter pounder with bacon that I scored somehow was the star of that meal.

How big are we talking in relation to say a quarter pounder??

Reasonably larger diameter and stacked about 3 times higher lol. I was genuinely surprised at the weight of the thing!

Yeah it's pretty damn huge! Even the box was jumbo sized. I'd say the diameter was about 30mm bigger on the McLamburger.
As for the taste of it, it was a meh for me. I ate it but didn't think it had a great deal of flavour to it at all.
I did get it without the Beetroot though, maybe that would have made a difference.

Great! Sounds like a good size

I had one today. The thing was huge, I just wish they made big macs that big.

Tasted ok, I'll probably get another one soon to be sure.....

Had one on Saturday - freaking awesome!

Nope, the koftas I've eaten have still had a meat texture. As others have said now, the patty has a similar texture to the bun.

.Radiant's description was spot on.

What's the size of this thing compared to say, the Aussie burger from HJ's?

I might give it a whirl, but I can't say I'm in a rush, the comments here don't sell it. Nor did they sell the McRib to be honest.

just a quick review for those who havent tried it or seen it:

I had one today. I think the reason for the patty texture is what's written on the box - it's meat mixed with breadcrumbs and egg. Rather a lot of breadcrumbs would be my guess..... It wasn't awful, it was just blah. Interestingly, it tasted better completely cold (I only ate half of it and stuck the rest in the fridge)

I thought massive was bigger than a whopper. I'm used to whoppers so this won't phase me too much.

Had one tonight, I thought it was pretty good. The patty's texture is a bit smooth on account of the breadcrumbs (I don't mind this) and it tastes fairly lamb-y and nicely herbed.
