Did anyone else know that McDonald's Fries contain BEEF??? Why add beef to fries? So much for all the vegetarians who order a salad and some fries at McDonald's.

i2i_libra: I got it off of the ingredient list on the box that the fries come in. We don't eat at McDonald's, but we were on the road recently and my daughter wanted french fries. I stopped at a McDonald's and asked for the ingredients (we don't eat wheat, beef and a number of other foods). I was expecting to find wheat (like in Burger King french fries) not beef.

LisaG: Believe it or not, Subway is actually worse for you than McDonalds. We don't eat at either.

Yeah, I knew... but this is old news and disclosures are available both on their website and in their restautants.
Apology Related to French Fry Litigation Settlement
McDonald's Press Release 1jun02
McDonald's sincerely apologizes to Hindus, vegetarians and others for failing to provide the kind of information they needed to make informed dietary decisions at our U.S. restaurants.
We acknowledge that, upon our switch to vegetable oil in the early 1990's for the purpose of reducing cholesterol, mistakes were made in communicating to the public and customers about the ingredients in our French fries and hash browns. Those mistakes included instances in which French fries and hash browns sold at U.S. restaurants were improperly identified as "vegetarian."
We regret we did not provide these customers with complete information, and we sincerely apologize for any hardship that these miscommunications have caused among Hindus, vegetarians and others. We should have done a better job in these areas, and we're committed to doing a better job in the future.
As a direct result of these events, McDonald's has enhanced its disclosures concerning the source of ingredients in its food products. This information is available at McDonald's website, www.mcdonalds.com, and will be available at each store.
McDonald's has created a Dietary Practice/Vegetarian Advisory Panel consisting of experts in consumer dietary practices that will advise McDonald's on relevant dietary restrictions and guidelines, which McDonald's and others can use for marketing to persons who follow those restrictions. As part of this settlement, McDonald's is donating $10 million to Hindu, vegetarian and other groups whose charitable and educational activities are closely linked to the concerns of these consumers.

Yes, they actually got sued for that, or are in the process of being sued. I think. I have a Mustang GT and gas mileage and Mustang should never be said in the same sentence; just as McDonald's and vegetarian shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. McDonald's is the antidote for vegetarianism.

McDonalds Fries source: zenadsl2377 2 large Idaho Russett potatoes a million/4 cup sugar 2 Tablespoons corn syrup a million a million/2 - 2 cups warm water 6 cups Crisco® shortening a million/4 cup purple meat lard (or keep the fat from earlier cooked burgers) salt Peel the potatoes. In a huge blending bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, and warm water. make confident the sugar is dissolved. using a French fry slicer, decrease the peeled potatoes into shoestrings. The potatoes should be a million/4" x a million/4" in thickness, and about 4" to 6" lengthy. (you may attempt this with a knife, although that is a mess of work). position the shoe stringed potatoes into the bowl of sugar-water, and refrigerate. enable them soak about 1/2-hour. even as they are soaking, %. the shortening into the deep fryer. Crank up the temperature to "finished". The shortening has to pre-warmth for a lengthy time period. that is going to finally liquify. After it has liquified and is a minimum of 375°, drain the potatoes and promote off them into the fryer. (be careful, it will be ferocious) After a million to at least a million½ minutes, get rid of the potatoes and position them on a paper towel coated plate. enable them cool 8 to 10 minutes interior the refrigerator. even as they are cooling, upload the lard or purple meat drippings to the warm Crisco®. back, crank the temperature to finish. Stir interior the lard because it melts into the oil. that is going to mix in. After the deep fryer is reheated to 375°-four hundred°, upload the potatoes and deep fry back. This time for 5-7 minutes till golden brown. get rid of and position in a huge bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt, then "toss" the fries to mix the salt calmly. (I advise about a million teaspoon of salt, perchance slightly more effective). Serve warm, serve today, and enjoy! depending upon the length of the potatoes, this recipe make about 2 medium sized fries. particular Notes: be conscious: in case you want more effective fries, double the recipe---yet do not double the cooking oil. in basic terms cook dinner them in shifts, including about a million/4 cup more effective Crisco® and a million tablespoon lard for the 2d batch. be conscious: For an a lot less complicated the picture of McDonald's french fries, you should use the frozen, pre-decrease Ore-Ida® shoestring potatoes. in basic terms cook dinner them interior an same blend of Crisco® and lard, skipping the "blanching" procedure. cook dinner them even as nonetheless frozen for 6-10 minutes (depending upon the quantity) till golden brown. they are good, yet no longer almost as precise in flavor and texture because the clean recipe.
