McDonald's fries are dogshit and I'm tired of pretending they're not. It all started when they stopped frying them in beef tallow or even adding beef flavoring because of the fucking vocal minority that wanted to eat shitty fast food even when they proclaimed themselves to be "vegan" or "against eating meat" or whatever. But I swear to God now they barely even put salt on the damn things. They're completely flavorless. It's like eating fucking paper. Yes I'm mad because idiots are still parroting that "McDonald's fries are the gold standard" and I want to ask if they've even tried the fries recently.

Shut the fuck up you retarded ass little zoomshit. You don’t even remember when they were made with tallow.
Go blog somewhere else. And you’re a pussy faggot for pretending you like something when you don’t.

First off, kiddo, they were never actually cooked in pure beef tallow. In the US, it was always a blend of beef tallow and vegetable oil designed to let the vegetable oil last longer without hydrogenating it (which was expensive at the time). Secondly, most McDonalds still add beef flavouring to their fries, including all locations in the continental US.

>McDonald's fries are the gold standard
Nothing made by any chain restaurant has ever been the gold standard for anything. It's all mass produced garbage, with only marginal variations in how little of a shit about the quality they give.

Nah, Mcdonalds has the best fries. Sometimes I just order a bunch of fries and then dump them into the brown paper bag and just eat them from the bag. Honestly, I don't really like anything else from Mcdonalds but the fries are the best. Like other places they don't put enough salt or they make the fries too thick or they're too crisp or they're too soggy. Mcdonalds fries are just right. Plus that fry smell. Love that Mcdonalds fry smell. Just the best.

Fries are a fast food that's meant to be mass produced (you don't individually make each fry), so the best fries will be made by a chain fast food place. It's only logical.
And that chain is McDonalds. They make the best fries on the face of this earth.

Anon, french fries are a fast food. You don't want people overthinking and overcomplicating them and trying to make them fancy because that ruins them. It's like when Gordon Ramsay made grilled cheese and ruined it by trying to make it fancy and wound up with an oily, unmelted mess. Fuck that shit. If I want french fries I'm going to Mcdonalds because they do them best. Nobody on this planet has better fries.

It's a difference in how the US and UK labels food. The UK has a more relaxed approached towards labeling and doesn't need to be nearly as specific. For instance, the UK version would have sodium acid pyrophosphate in it as well (it's added for the color of the fries, specifically so they keep their color) but it doesn't need to be listed in the UK because it's such a minuscule amount. But in the US, you'd still have to include it in the labeling.
The only real difference is the oils, which is explained by the fact that the US subsidizes corn and soy (in fact, the US is one the world's largest producers of soy, only behind Brazil, and is the world's top corn producer).

The problem with McD's fries is that they're just wildly inconsistent. When they're good they are head and shoulders above most other fast food fries, but more often than not they're soggy, sad shit. Nothing will ever make me as sad as losing these bad boys though

The vegetable oil thing is a tragedy. These are still the best fast food fries though because everyone else did the same. I've heard tell you can find good fries in Belgium but nobody is over there.

McDonalds is bottom of the barrel fast food. McDonalds is a real estate company, not a food company. You wouldn't let a fashion company do your plumbing would you?
McFries are the equivalent of paying two dollars for a spoonful of greasy, unseasoned, lukewarm potato mash.

A lot of lazy wagies just don't salt any of the fries because so many people use le epic Redditerino "hack" of asking for no salt in order to always get fresh fries.
