So I went to McDonalds the first time in 4 years, had nuggets and was expecting the mushy fried mass I'm so familiar with. I bit into it and found that it was actually sliced/diced chicken breast? It looked exactly as you would when you cut up a chicken breast.

Is it just McD Canada that is doing this, or have they raised their standards internationally?

>>	Anonymous Wed May 27 04:02:00 2015 No.6543584 >>6543490 Its like than in NZ too. It's been like that for years. They actually put out some higher quality burgers too.

>>	The Real Ken Domik !D4dXhlfhtU Wed May 27 04:05:47 2015 No.6543594 I agree with the Original Poster. McDonalds has really stepped their game up lately. Check some of my reviews out for proof.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 27 04:09:13 2015 No.6543604 It's just shaped chicken, "pink slime" was an urban myth that morons/food newbs like to keep talking about because they don't realize how passe bitching about McDonalds is to everyone else.

So, here is McDonald's video with the recipe, in respond to the pink slime picture
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua5PaSqKD6k
(When searching for it, it appears pink slime is now a thing served at school, not a McNuggets thing anymore. Welp, I missed a revival of this myth.)

I can't imagine they cut chicken breast in the shape of their nuggets, it would be tons of loss. They probably just changed the texture to make it look better.

Are chicken selects still a thing at McD's? I think those are/were made from slices of solid chicken.

>>6543604
"Pink slime" is a beef thing, not chicken. The term refers to tendon and ligament "meat" that's chemically treated to break down the collagen, bleached, and mixed back in (as a liquid) to ground beef. Even as McDonald's bailed, the beef industry reps were all like "No, fuck you, it came from the cow, so it's beef!"

>>6543765
I'm guessing that they changed the process years ago when they switched the McLugnuts to "all white meat"- and in doing so, found that the higher quality composition could be ground and re-shaped "normally" and still hold together.

My understanding was that McNuggets, at least in the the original formulation, required the mechanically separated chicken to be completely liquefied, sanitized/bleached with ammonia, and then artificially re-colored and flavored before being formed into nuggets and battered/fried.

I'll give credit where it's due though, whoever thought of making them with a tempura batter is a fucking genius. It really sets their product apart from every other nugget, and somehow complements the reconstituted meat texture very well.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 27 06:18:19 2015 No.6543806 >>6543490 Been confirmed to be chicken breast here, which I think is dumb because they don't need to be pure breast, they could add leg meat too you know.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 27 06:19:33 2015 No.6543810 >>6543803 >"Pink slime" is a beef thing, not chicken. Sure but there is such a thing as mechanically separated chicken meat, which most people these days would probably call "Pink slime".

Just saw this in the the Sydney Morning Herald today:

>McDonald's strategy for improving food: toast the buns longer

>McDonald's Corp. is moving to toast its sandwich buns longer and change how it sears and grills hamburgers as part of its effort to reinvigorate growth with "hot, tasty food."

>The increased toasting time makes the sandwiches hotter, while the new grilling technique produces juicier burgers, Steve Easterbrook, the restaurant chain's global chief executive officer, said at an investment conference in New York on Wednesday.

>"These little things add up to big differences for our customers," Easterbrook said. "We're recommitting to tastier food across the menu."

...Full link at http://www.smh.com.au/business/mcdonalds-strategy-for-improving-food-toast-the-buns-longer-20150527-ghba3y.html . And no I'm not some paid shill, it honestly just popped up on news.google.com in the "Most Popular" sidebar. (Granted, it might have gotten *there* due to paid shills.)

Because they are demonstrably ignorant, poorly educated morons that haven't had to live through the major diseases that we no longer see because of vaccination.

I guarantee that if polio, mumps, rubella, measles or smallpox were still common, no one would be an "anti-vaxxer" unless they were insane or retarded. Which is what they are now.
