Shhhhh... It's A Secret Menu

Are you over fast food? It might be time to pimp your meal with an item from the fabled Secret Menu. We took our empty stomachs to Maccas to test drive some of the best burger hacks from Mickey D's secret stash.

What's the Secret Menu?

These unofficial items are outlandish creations made from combos of different things found on the existing menu. Secret items have been dreamt up by fast food lovers across major chains, but McDonald's has by far the biggest selection. You can't order these burgers over the counter, so expect to do a little self-assembly.

Land, Sea And Air Burger

A carnivore's delight, this Franken-burger features beef, chicken and filet-O-Fish patties, stacked into one artery clogging beast. It's a whistle-stop tour through the animal kingdom (in your mouth).

What to Order: a regular cheeseburger, a Filet-O-Fish and a McChicken.

Verdict: I love wordplay as much as the next man, but despite the nifty, pun-elicious logic behind this burger's name, it's not quite as much fun to eat. The sticking point is the seafood element, which throws a jarring, fishy tang into the flavour combo that just doesn't work.

McGangBang

With a McChicken rudely shoved in between the patties of a McDouble, it's not hard to work out how this saucy burger got its racy name. These meat-filled buns are Ooo La La. You know you want it.

What to order: a McDouble and a McChicken

Verdict: Easily the most successful mash-up from the secret selection. You get all the flavours of each burger, without the combination becoming too overwhelming. We can see this becoming a favourite of the drunk Maccas run at the end of a night out.

Big McChicken

Who needs bread when you have deep fried chicken? This tribute to the coronary on a plate that is KFC's Double Down, this monster is a Big Mac with the bread replaced by McChicken patties.

What to order: three McChickens and a Big Mac

Verdict: This is a real gut-buster and not dissimilar to eating a deep-fried breezeblock. Construction is a little on the messy side, and it's no mean feat fitting it in your gob, but once you've figured out how to eat the thing it's a pretty good meal, although a food coma is a very likely side-effect.
