Yum! Mickey Dee's secret recipes.

I was hoping to see what is in their smoothies. Sometimes they taste OK and sometimes they taste like fake sugar was put in there.

Ugh.... We get the runs every time we eat at the Golden Arches Supper Club. Good way to get rid of any backup.

Vegetarian Cheddar Cheese, am I the only one that sees the oxymoron? Sorry but cheese is not on a vegetarian menu if it contains milk.

Haven't been to McD's in a few years.

It can happen. Our youngest daughter's GI doc hosted a food fair for celiac patients. Soy cheese was offered...shudder.

Isn't soy cheese called tofu?

Whats wrong with powdered eggs? A lot of preppers keep them and so do bakers. I use powdered egg white in my royal icing - just because it's convenient doesn't make it fake or bad food ???

I have to admit I am surprised by you not eating fast food other than the 'roast beef' which is one of the more highly proccessed choices.

Cheese is considered vegetarian by most. Vegetarians don't eat meat, most eat cheese and/or eggs - they are called lacto-ovo vegetarians if you want to be specific. You may be thinking of vegans who do not (or try not to) use any sort of animal products - including honey.

I like most of their food, but haven't cared much for their fries since they changed the brand of oil they were using.

I like Chick Fil-A. Love their wraps!

Maybe we should get the candidates to tell us which fast food they prefer. This seems to be as devisive a topic as religion or abortion.

Sorry, but I haven't been a fan of Micky D's for a long long time. To put this in perspective though, we only eat fast food when it's the only option. Usually on our way to some HS sporting event that starts and hour after work, and is an hour drive. Not too often, to be honest. I don't expect good food, just fast and filling. Oh, it's usually Wendy's, and I always get the chicken breast sandwich. I figure I know what chicken should look like, and it's never upset my system like the grease patties or mystery nuggets do.

I had to look up 'vegetarian cheese.' Doesn't mean it's not necessarily not made out of dairy, just that they don't use veal or pig rennet.

In the wikipedia about cheddar cheese they say:

"The curds and whey are separated using rennet, an enzyme complex normally produced from the stomachs of newborn calves (in vegetarian or kosher cheeses, bacterial-, yeast- or mold-derived chymosin is used)."

I can see why dairy eating vegetarians wouldn't want rennet in their cheese, but if you're getting a McCheese burger I don't see why anybody would care about a little rennet.

The bacterial-, yeast- or mold-derived chymosin must be just a little bit better for the McDonald's bottom line.

Thanks for the ingredient list. Bet they weren't so happy to make that public.

Actually it's on the McDonald's website--Our food/ingredients....in the upper right hand corner, there's a link to the pdf file shown....

You know, in my day (in a galaxy far, far, away....)you could walk into a downtown grill/diner, and the guy would fry up--right in front of you-- a burger pressed that morning, from a local butcher shop, top it off with a piece of real American cheese, put on a few slices of pickle, some lettuce from a head he had in the cooler, a slice of tomato if they were in season, then take a slicing knife and cut a thick slice of onion--then put all that on a bun he had just toasted on the grill--the bun having been baked that week at a local bread bakery. The fries, maybe from a wholesaler, maybe cut from his own sack that morning, got sizzled in lard, of course. To top it off, he could make a milkshake out of real milk and ice cream from the local dairy, that also delivered all over town by the horse drawn wagon..... All that, plus some ketchup or mustard from GLASS jars on the counter.

Hog heaven.

Maybe today we are the GRAS fed ones (Generally recognized as safe)

From what I have read, it's Newman's Own. Not a bad coffee at all, but so much of what makes coffee good is in how it is made and how long it sits....

I think I'm gonna McBarf.

There was a place in Hastings, MI like that called Richards. I don't know if it is still there as I haven't been there in ages. We kids would help out at the bakery all week and then on Saturday after the morning rush we would go browse the 5 and dime across the street and then get lunch for everyone. Mmmmmm

Since when is their oil for cooking fries 100% vegetable oil? It used to be a blend that contained beef tallow. How updated is this list? And is this the USA list? Because I know Mickey D's uses different ingredients in different countries...

A while back, their oil blend was proprietary, and what they claimed made their fries so amazing.

AH-HA! That's the McDonald's from IRELAND!

Man, and here I thought I might be able to get fries once in a while, or maybe a hashbrown... Looks like those hopes have been DASHED! Oh well, better for my butt to not be eating that crap...

Here's the USA list...

They changed that several years ago, after all this hoopla about oils being bad for a person.
Took awhile to get used to the new taste, but now I am used to it. The fries were better years ago, but had to had I guess. Sometimes I just go and stop and get a large order of fries just to munch on.

$1.07. Tasty.
