00:00 Hello there, it's Richard Hunt here.

00:02 Well as missions go, it could be worse.

00:04 Trying out the latest burger from McDonald's.

00:07 In this case, the new McSpicy burger with Frank's mayo.

00:12 This is a hot burger, so it's a bit of a challenge I suppose.

00:17 I quite like hot things, but there's a question, is it too hot?

00:21 And it's going to make your face go red and your eyes water.

00:23 Not a good look really, or is it going to be a let down when it's not hot enough?

00:27 So, we'll soon find out.

00:29 Here it is. It's arrived in a rather attractive bag.

00:33 Just get the thing out, give it a bite.

00:35 Here we go, in a red and white box.

00:38 Okay, the moment of truth.

00:40 Let's have a look. There it is.

00:42 Can you see that? It's come in one of these sort of buns.

00:47 Wow, let's see.

00:57 Wow, what hits you straight away, it's the Frank's mayo.

01:03 It's really flavoursome, it's vivid, it's creamy, but it's got a bit of a kick to it.

01:09 It's quite hot.

01:11 Chicken is crispy on the outside, which is okay.

01:19 There's lettuce there, jalapenos, cheese.

01:23 I'm not really a fan of lettuce really.

01:25 It's a rather dull thing. Whenever I get a Big Mac, it always seems to be too much lettuce.

01:30 I'd rather have a quarter pounder.

01:32 Normally I would avoid these chicken burger things, but this is quite nice actually.

01:38 It's the Frank's mayo.

01:46 This definitely adds an extra dimension to it.

01:50 It is hot. It's not so hot that it blows your head off.

01:55 It's definitely a slow build up as well.

01:59 It kind of kicks in gradually.

02:02 At first I thought, "Ah, it's not really that hot."

02:04 Nah, it's nothing really.

02:06 But actually it comes in a kind of wave.

02:10 It's really good actually.

02:13 Normally if I went to McDonald's I'd say, "Have a quarter pounder please."

02:18 But this, I don't know, I might be inclined to say

02:23 "Could I have one of those McSpicy things please?"

02:27 Because it is actually nice.

02:29 That mayo, the hot mayo, I'll show you.

02:32 It's an orangey-yellow sort of flavour.

02:36 Very creamy, rich.

02:38 It's really nice. It's not just the fact it's hot, it's got quite a nice flavour.

02:42 I'd definitely give it the thumbs up actually.

02:45 Yeah, it's a thumbs up from me.

02:47 Excuse me while I just scoff the rest of it.
