A MCDONALD’S fan Andy Dung, who believes he has the ultimate “Big Mac hack” has been called a lunatic by his school mates.
Everton East ghetto dweller, Sir Andy Dung, whose Dad brought him home after a stay at a state mental hospital has claimed at school that he made a real Big Mac to avoid forking out £4.59 for the iconic burger.
13-years-old, Dung, became interested in building a Big Mac after getting bullied at school by a group of Scottish bully's who belong to the Apple Dumpling Gang of Everton East. They bully other kids like Andy making them sneak extra food out of their homes, so the bully's can eat a hearty school lunch.
"Andy, why do those apple's you sneak out of your home smell like horse cack? It's the type of stink that comes from your breath" says Shamus McDaniels, the leader of the gang and the meanest hooligan of the bunch.
"I'll show them, yes I will, they'll see me as the greatest when they taste my two pence Big Mac's "says Dung.
The bully's negotiated with Andy to get him the supplies from other kid's, so he can bring the Big Mac's to school.
"Dad won't need to dig through trash bin's for our next meal, we'll be eating high class with the donations from the kids," reasons Dung.
Lacking full faculty, Andy believes the royal's dine on Big Mac's everyday even feeding their pedigree dogs two Big Mac's each meal.
Either way, Andy delivered with a better tasting Big Mac than McDonald's can afford.
After digging for information online Andy developed his secret strategy to making the ultimate Big Mac.
The secret to Andy's success is a food processor to tenderize the tuff beef fiber. McDonald's uses the same process in making their tender beef patties.
The second secret is using rehydrated onion bits like McDonald's does.
The third secret is making the secret sauce from scratch using the original recipe.
The fourth secret is to lightly toast the inside of the buns on a pan. That distinct taste makes the Big Mac taste authentic.
The fifth secret is using two 2.6 oz meat patties instead of the original 1.6 oz patties. His precise measurements are done on a digital food scale. The AndyMac as they're called at school are a bit more meaty in flavor than the cheaper version sold at Mickey D's.
And finally, Andy's ultimate secret is to replace the middle bun with a lightly toasted slice of white bread or french toast bread, if thickness is desired and with the corner edge's cut off. The bread slice is the same flavor as McDonald's middle bun. Andy toasted the slice on both sides using a heated pan like McDonald's does.
The original secret sauce:
-1/2 cup of mayonnaise
-2 tablespoons of sweet relish or finely diced sweet pickles
-1/2 teaspoon of white or apple vinegar
-1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
-1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
-1/2 teaspoon of paprika
-1/2 tablespoon of yellow mustard
As described by Dung, to assemble the AndyMac burgers, spread a little Big Mac sauce over the base of the bottom bun. Top with some rehydrated dehydrated onion, shredded lettuce, slice of cheese, beef patty and some pickle slices. Top with the middle bun layer, and spread with more Big Mac sauce, onion, lettuce, pickles, beef patty and then finish with more sauce.
The McDonald's Big Mac is made with two 1.6 oz (45 g) beef patties, a "special sauce" with no ketchup or tomato in the authentic sauce, shredded iceberg lettuce, one processed American cheese slice, two slices of dill pickle, and minced onions, served on a three slice sesame seed bun.
