I'm not one of those "I looked at the sign for taco bell and it made me poo poo my eyes out!" goontypes, but that white cheddar one made me fart and poo poo so bad lol. I must have gone back like 10 times. I think there was a similar one involving onions that I'm probably conflating it with. Remember the Mac Snack Wrap? Instead of a chick tender inside, it was a half burger patty and all the toppings from a big mag. It was disgusting, but in a weirdly good way. Rememver salad shakers? KFC twisters? It's so easy to talk about this crap, I am way too into fast food stuff. God I miss the BK apple pies

If we're talking about fast food back in the day am I the only one who remembers Pizza Hut cheese pizza as being, like, pretty fuckin good less the experience of sitting in those farty vinyl red booth seats with the checkered tablecloths and the red plastic cups that could deliver blunt force trauma, I remember something about the cheese pizza that was perfectly browned in places and just the right balance of greasy, lovely, and yet surprisingly quality

What I seem to remember was the old McDonalds fries being less crispy and greasier. No clue if that's an accurate memory or not. I remember when they switched and I assumed they were doing the easiest thing they could to have a vegetarian item on the menu. I was raised in a religion that has a strong vegetarian presence and I remember we'd have to go to a special church store to get stuff like Morningstar and Loma Linda products. Now most grocery stores have at least 8 feet of freezer space with meat alternative products.

I kinda like how in the past 5 years theres a good chance you can get a veggie burger at most mid-tier restaurants and burger joints. When people come to visit they always want to go to in-and-out, and there's really nothing for me there. Their fries are terrible.

Yeah, no pressure at all. That was over thirty years ago and I still remember everyone just freaking out because the franchise owner liked to ‘drop by’ just to observe our efficiency. tango alpha delta fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Dec 14, 2022 |

I miss old McD's fries. They were kind of floppy iirc, but in a good way. More flavor too.Dixville posted:Remember when you would get that one hosed up mcnugget with gristle in it PinheadSlim posted:I found a bone or a piece of plastic in a mcnugget when I was like 4 and I never had one again I do not, however, miss old McD's nuggets.

Why wallow in nostalgia for a past that probably sucked anyway when you could improve your fries today with some garlic beefonnaise? It’s not all that hard to make. Ingredients: -1/4 cup rendered beef fat, melted -1 1/4 cups canola oil -2 egg yolks -1 tablespoon Dijon mustard -2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional) -1 to 2 cloves garlic, grated on microplane grater or pressed through garlic press -1 tablespoon water, plus more to correct consistency -Lemon juice to taste -Salt and pepper to taste Directions: 1. Combine beef fat and canola oil in 2-cup liquid measuring cup. Whisk to combine. 2. Add egg yolks, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic, and water to bowl of food processor. Run processor for 5 seconds to combine. Scrape down sides of processor bowl with rubber spatula. With processor running, slowly drizzle fat into bowl in a thin, steady stream, stopping and scraping down sides as necessary. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste, and adjust consistency with water until thick, smooth, and creamy, but not mouth-coatingly waxy. Store in refrigerator in air-tight container for up to two weeks.

Haverchuck posted:Most grocery store hot bar/deli fried chicken is the equivalent, in my experience, of overhyped chain chicken places that charge way more Yeah I legit do not understand why anyone goes to KFC over like a Safeway for fried chicken. When I first moved here they had a Monday deal where it was 7 bucks for 8 piece dark + a pound of sides + a 4 pack of Hawaiian rolls. It’s jumped up a buck or two since Covid started but still quite cheap. Meanwhile I drove past a kfc the other day that was advertising a holiday family special, 12 piece + some sides for close to 50 dollars and just lmao.

KFC is in North America is loving disgusting. I've said it in another thread that KFC in Japan tastes like it did when I was a kid, I was very surprised. I always just thought that my taste in things had changed but KFC has just turned gross over the years. I also think that the way they cook chicken has changed too. The chicken is always greasy and the chicken tastes like soggy newspaper.

Are American Chicken McNuggets still made out of that pink goo? Bagels and breakfast wraps were permanently removed from the breakfast menu in the UK. Sad times, but at least our nuggies are made from chicken breast
