I think it's because their fries are thinner than all of the other places, so you are getting less potato to the breading, salt, and grease.

When I put frozen fries in my deep fryer the shoe-string fries are better than thick-cut, and imo taste just like McD fries

They used to be the best because it was fried in tallow, but vegans ruined that. But they are still good because of the way they make them. IIRC, they actually mash the potato, add a bunch of seasoning in the mash, then shape them into fries.

beef flavoring

[Anonymous No.14283682]

Do people actually eat fries everywhere they go? I can't remember the last time I ate fries when I went to a fast food joint. Just give me the sandwich or whatever. Fries are filler for fat people and they don't taste good.

Burger Kings are way better
Dunno why anyone likes McDs slim lite womans fries
I like to have my fries thicc and with a nice crunch to them

[Anonymous No.14284805]

question(s) for americans.
does burger king sell onion rings?
did they change the style and taste of them completely within the past few years??
I ask because I would always buy onion rings and put them on my cheeseburgers, sometimes fries also but mainly just the onion rings. then I didn't eat fast food for about 2 years and when I went back to get my usual the onion rings where completely different and they now taste like absolute fucking SHIT. it genuinely angered me because they where one of a kind. they where breaded and the filling was mashed up, probably with added spices and shit. now its just a pathetic slice of onion dipped in batter and theyre, as I said, fucking shit. so whats with the fucking change?? cunts

Not sure but I have to be a grammar nazi and say "where" is used as in "where did I put my thing?" what you wanted to write was "were" as in what you wrote.
Also changing what you eat also changes what you like, so its maybe that you just dont eat a lot of fast food anymore

[Anonymous No.14285080]

>>14284940
funny because I knew that was the wrong spelling I just didn't give a fuck because why would anyone lmao?
anyway nah its not that my tastes changed, sure they may have a little, but these new rings are literally a different product and I haven't met a single person who prefers the new ones. BK really dropped the ball here

they fry their shit in a mix of oil and beef tallow

[Anonymous No.14285104]

It's their oil, they use a blend of canola and a few others iirc.

I'm the same way. I do fucking stupid shit all the time, and my friends are like "hey bro, stop being a dumb fuck", but I just tell them to go fuck themselves. LMFAO it's awesome being stupid.

It was due to the trans fats panic, not vegans.

Nobody born after the early 90s has ever tasted a true McDonald's French fry. They were so damn good

A fry should only be eaten without ketchup

>breading
>implying that McDonalds is the only place that uses shoestring fries

Anyway, the McDonalds fry flavor comes from them brining the fries in beef stock before frying them, and then frying them in a blend of oil. You can easily make them at home if you get the recipe right.

Burger king fries are way better, but only when they're fresh out the fryer. Which isn't very often unfortunately

[Anonymous No.14285796]

They don't use tallow anymore. But they add beef flavoring to the fries to mimic it.

>Ingredients: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Natural Beef Flavor [wheat And Milk Derivatives]*), Dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (maintain Color), Salt. *natural Beef Flavor Contains Hydrolyzed Wheat And Hydrolyzed Milk As Starting Ingredients.
Dextrose is also a type of sugar, so it's basically salt/sugar/MSG being added instead of just pure salt like you might find with others.

Supposedly they used to be fried in lard so tasted even better

Modified wheat flour in the fry oil in place of beef tallow.

I miss being a kid in the late 80s to early 90s. When a few bucks got several plain cheeseburgers, a large fry, and large coke. Best thing ever as I sat in the minivan going down to florida for the yearly family beach vacation.

Fucking morons. I'm as old as you, and probably as old as your dad, and you are full of shit. Get one of your youtube gods to find some of this magically delicious tallow and make some fries, so he can tell you they are not that much different.
