all natural meat-potatoes 31 August, 2006 at 7:44 am

ok

when have potatoes ever tasted like meat? i mean, i always thought potatoes tasted like … what is it again … dammit on the tip of my tongue …. p … o …. t … a …. t … o …. yeah. POTATOES

but apparently mcdonalds has special meat-grain-milk flavoured potatoes.

natural flavor (beef, wheat and dairy sources),[/quote]

uh? that’s the third entry (of FIVE!) on the french fries.

and then they’re cooked in vegetable oil(s).

[quote] Cooked in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (may contain partially hydrogenated soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated corn oil and/or partially hydrogenated canola oil and/or cottonseed oil and/or sunflower oil and/or corn oil).[/quote]

that’s six freakin’ oils! five if you notice that corn oil is listed twice under different “variants” …

what, cook comes in and brings a bottle from home of whatever was on sale at the grocery?

[quote]our suppliers informed us
for the first time that hydrolyzed milk and hydrolyzed wheat are ingredients in the natural flavoring used[/quote]

just noticed this on the allergens page. so apparently the wheat and milk weren’t listed before. which means the “natural flavor” was … meat? with nothing else? b/c it only says three things, and two of them were “news to us!” …

at least their website FAQ has changed to “we accomodate special requests for vegetarian or allergen restrictions, but we do not represent any of our food as vegetarian and cannot garauntee that the preparation will not come in contact with allergen foods you wanted to avoid”

it’s better than a few years ago when they said the fries were vegetarian b/c they were cooked in veggie oil. ignore the natural beef potatoes :o
