Burger wars 2044

FauxPseudo

All McD's meat burgers in the U.S. are beef. Period. Always have been. Their menus around the world reflect the local cultures.

If they added anything to the beef patties, they'd have to declare it. It's the law. And they're not stupid enough to try to sneak it by; the public reaction would be overwhelming.

From their ingredients page: "Beef Patty: 100% pure USDA inspected beef; no additives, no fillers, no extenders."

I find this (relentless, uninformed, effetely snobbish) discussion wonderfully amusing. Here are the basic ingredients in a McD burger. Beef, bread (rolls just like the ones most people buy for their own burgers.). They put that beef patty on a hot (350F) flat-top grill and cook it just like it would be if done in a skillet. They open the roll and put the cooked meat in it, just like people do at home. The patty has been frozen, and some raised-pinkie "gourmets" say that diminishes the "quality.".

If you want a patty that hasn't been frozen, go to Wendy's. People say the same stupid poo about them as they do about McD's and Burger King and Hardee's and all the rest of the fast food burger places. They're beef patties cooked (on a flattop, over flames, under a broiler, etc.) and stuck into a white bread roll. That's the whole recipe. What's to unpleasant woman about?

The very simple fact of the matter is that all this grousing about the fast food burger vendors is pure and simple bullpoo. As though it were some moral imperative that foods should all be prepared to the (artificial and convoluted) standards of the blowhard snobs who seem to generally believe that the more complex the recipe, the more pointlessly fastidious, the more rigidly measured and determined, the better is the food.

It's a constant and deep amusement to listen to the brilliantly uneducated unpleasant womaning to the equally off-the-mark sheeple who want to sound authoritative merely by agreeing with the foghorns. That bunch also secretly spends a lot of money with the burger-producing devils, but have ready-made excuses relieving them of any responsibility - just had to see if they still...

It's all so much sound and fury signifying, exactly what it does. It's hilarious how wrought people get over something as innocuous as a freakin burger. And in my expensive and inexpensive, upscale and downscale, white-tablecloth and formica-table restaurants, burgers sold and sold and sold. And they would today and they would tomorrow. In some places, we used frozen patties on Wonder rolls and people liked them. And on others, we used fresh-meat, machine-made patties on custom store-bought rolls and they liked them. And on others, we hand-patted them and served them on our home-made breads, and they were just as popular. Prices varied from $2.25 to $12, and they all sold very well.

Chacun a son gout...
