McDonald's has confirmed its breakfast bagels are off the menu and there are no immediate plans to reintroduce them.

When McDonald's reopened following the first lockdown, many bagel fans were disappointed to see their favourite item removed from the menu - now several months on they're still not back, but McDonald's has said they will return 'at some point in the future'.

Posting on Twitter one disappointed carb-fan asked: "McDonald's why can you do Katsu nuggets but no breakfast bagels huh?"

Another joked: "Don't get ahead of yourself. 2021 will be just as s***** as 2020 unless McDonalds brings back the bagels."

While a third said: "McDonald's got rid of breakfast bagels and I feel like I understand heartbreak now."

McDonald's responded to one bagel-lover on Twitter by confirming that 'at the moment we aren't looking to bring Bagels back'.

A McDonald's spokesperson told LADbible: "Bagels haven't been on our 'reduced menu' since reopening. We're hopeful we'll see their return at some point in the future... 2021 needs more bagels!"

So, there you go - have some patience my fellow bagel-lovers, McDonald's is on the case.

In the meantime, McDonald's has reintroduced one of its most beloved burgers, with the Big Tasty back on the menu right now.

The Big Tasty is made with fresh 100 percent British and Irish beef, melty cheese made with Emmental, topped with tomato, lettuce, slivered onions and lashings of Big Tasty sauce, all on a sesame seed bun - and you can order it with or without bacon.

The Big Tasty is available for £5.99, or you can get it with bacon for £6.39.

McDonald's also launched its Katsu Chicken McNuggets, too.

The nuggets are made of 100 percent chicken breast meat in a crispy Katsu Curry panko breadcrumb coating, served with a classic Sweet Curry dip.

You'll be able to pick up six Katsu Curry Chicken McNuggets for £3.59, nine for £4.09 or for £5.99.

McDonald's said: "The new limited edition Katsu Curry Chicken McNuggets are a match made in heaven and everything you didn't know you needed until this very moment.

"Hitting our restaurants on the 30 December, they are the tastiest way to wave goodbye to 2020 and start the new year as you mean to go on!

"If you want to try them then you'll have to be quick, as they're around for just six weeks."

Both the Big Tasty and Katsu Chicken McNuggets are only on sale for six weeks.
