[AD]I haven’t eaten red meat for over 20 years and my choice for burgers has always been limited! But now @McDonaldsUK has launched a new plant-based burger which actually looks and tastes like the real deal – I couldn’t believe it wasn’t meat. My good pal and chef extraordinaire @GizziErskine and I went down to McD’s HQ to find out more about the burger and were so impressed with everything we learnt. The McPlant has been co-developed with @BeyondMeat so it looks and tastes like meat and most importantly for me, the cheese tastes just like McDonald’s cheese! It’s a great option for both vegans and meat-eaters who are looking at having more choice. You’ll be able to try the McPlant at over 250 restaurants from 13th October 💚 #McPlant @McDonaldsUK
