Often times it probably has soy (or other things) for filler.. and sometimes the percentage of filler is significant.

about McDonald's using "pink slime", but I've always thought those are
just myths. I think the pink slime one in particular has been debunked
as false. Also, Google sez the sawdust rumor comes from the use of cellulose as a filler.
The McDonalds website now (and maybe for awhile now, I never paid attention until this conversation started) specifically states "100% beef". So maybe it was a thing in the past, but I'd still go with DM's comment that it's probably not very high quality/grade beef. I'm also not sure if you could even have "fillers" of pork or turkey when you specifically state "100% beef".

Yeah, I recall reading that McDonald's was aware of the spreading rumor that they were using "pink slime", and they wanted to reiterate that those rumors are false and they're using real beef.
My first job (years ago) was at a Dairy Queen, and their french
fries were also frozen before being shipped to the restaurant.
And I think Dairy Queen's fries are some of the most bland
fries out there.. I'm not sure if they're still using
pre-frozen fries. They've changed their menu significantly
since I left.
As for french fry taste, I think McDonald's fries are the best.
I really like their fries too.
If we're only talking fast food places, then I would tend to
agree. Burger King also has some pretty good fries.
But as for asking for "no salt," I couldn't do that. They're so
much better when they're salted right out of the fryer, since
the grease is still on them to act as a binder. ;)
Agreed, but I hear that now all McDonald's fries come from
potato fields owned by Bill Gates... and Bill Gates is one of
those people that wants to jab the entire world with his
immunizations. I think he also wants us all to eat bugs. Kinda
creepy.
And I agree, "100% beef" sounds like there shouldn't be any filler.
"100% beef" could still include beef lips, intestines and assholes, too. Much like the probability of what most hot dogs are made of (the leftovers of the animal that the butcher can't sell). ;)

I'm still wanting to try their Blizzard...that's the ONLY good "Blizzard Warning"...when the Dairy Queen Employee tells you that your confectionary treat is ready. <G>
I love the Burger King original flavor chicken nuggets and the sandwich...plus their onion rings. But, their onion rings tend to give really stinky farts...I thought I had a skunk in the room. <G>
As I told Nightfox, I prefer their chicken nuggets and onion rings.
You've heard the other rumour, right? McDonalds started a shell company literally named "100% beef" to supply their own restaurants. They could then give the restaurants whatever they liked to put in the patties without it being false advertising. The contents are truly "100% beef" brand! Any misunderstanding is the fault of the customer :D

HAH! No, I hadn't heard of that. To be honest, I had /just/ recently
saw the 100% beef while in this conversation when I decided to go to McDonalds' website to check prices on their "value meals" (which
I don't think were there, anyway).
So what you're saying is, wherever they have "100% beef" they're
really just advertising for their other company? Diabolical.

Not sure if Subway claims 100% anything anywhere, but I heard that
their meats (salami? roast beef? ham?) is all actually turkey. No
idea how true that is.
Also, I bet the FDA allows for some percentage of random crap even
when you state "100%" anything. That's just a guess/skepticism
though :).
This could be wrong, but I thought there was a law listing exactly
what you were allowed to put into hot dogs. The rumor was that
what's left over after /that/ was sold to PepsiCo (aka Pizza Hut and
Taco Bell).

The pink slime is machine-extruded chicken, and it's true. Comes out of a nozzle with the texture of soft-serve ice cream.

Nice, I found burgerbarutah.com and will have to ask my UT friends about going there ;)

I think their curly fries are pretty good
In the US, food companies are legally required to list ingredients
on food packages sold in stores (at least, for most foods). For
instance, this package of Bar S Franks:
https://tinyurl.com/39hmkvn8
The package says "made with chicken, pork added", but if you zoom in
closer, it lists ingredients on the bottom.

It's not, by any means, "good burnt ends". Burnt ends should be crust
on the outside, and juicy and fall/pull apart on the inside. While
there wasn't any grizzle in them, they were super tough.
Although, I would imagine if when I had them they were cooked quite
a bit less, they may not have been nearly as bad. With all that
said, I'll most likely never try them again. I'd much rather make
my own burnt ends on the smoker, since we don't have many good
/real/ BBQ joints around here.

Nope. I'm not sure if I'm lactose intolerant or not, as after recently eating ice cream sandwiches, you would've thought I had eaten a pallet of Bush's Baked Beans instead (that's another item I haven't tried).
The Whopper is my favorite thing from Burger King. I like their onion
rings too, but I agree about the gasious side-effect.
I recall several items over the years that they no longer have.
1) Yumbo - Hot Ham And Cheese Sandwich
2) Veal Parmigean (sp?). A veal patty, with mozarella cheese, and marinara sauce.
3) Hoagie - a cold ham and cheese sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato.
4) Hot Apple Pie.
They have a fish sandwich, but it used to be called "The Whaler".
I love their chicken nuggets (original flavor) and the original chicken sandwich.
The best part of the burgers is that they are flame broiled, and not swimming in grease, like at Wendy's, McDonald's, and other places. However, they can aggravate my acid reflux.

Just because you said that, I just went and took a swig from my

Can confirm it goes perfectly with scrambled eggs and toast.
There's another sauce I've seen in some stores similar to A1 called
HP Sauce (which I think is fairly good).
You should try HP sauce, I bet you'd like it.
Especially on steak fries.
KFC used to do a skinless chicken, I believe it was baked.
many years ago, they also had rotisserie chicken which was outstanding. I used to get their #3 (two legs and theigh and two sides) with regular recipe, add an extra biscuit and a couple chocolate chip cookies. Mmmmm. Man, I miss eating out.

During Lent, places that normally don't sell fish (Arby's, Wendy's, etc.) have it on their menu, so they can pick up the Catholic clientele.

relish, mustard, and saurkraut. ;-)
Yep. I like to get a fish sandwich sometimes when they have
them available. And I wish they had them available all the
time. I think McDonald's is the only one that permanently has
a fish sandwich on their menu (or maybe I'm wrong?).
Also, I only really like sauerkraut if it's with a bratwurst,
Polish dog, or similar. I don't really like sauerkraut on an American-style hot dog.
And pineapple has no place on pizza, but there it is.
Saurkraut has no place on this planet IMHO>
Ahhh the great Pinapple on Pizza debate, I for one like a
slice of Hawiian pizza once in awhile.
Some like it some don't, IMHO Pizza has not blueprint, you can
make Pizza the any way you like and it will still be pizza.

...After two days in hospital, I took a turn for the nurse.
Pineapple, canadian bacon and jalapeno. I'd do it.
Mix it up and replace the canadian bacon with spam or anchovies some time. I probably said this before.
Nick,
Yeah, I'm by no means a competitive eater, either. I tend to like Chicago dogs, which usually have mustard, onions, pickle, tomato,
and some mildly spicy peppers on it.
Never thought of tomato on a hot dog...but I do enjoy them.
I believe Burger King has one year round. Arby's and Wendy's only have them during Lent.

I tried sauerkraut way back in elementary school nearly 60 years ago...and I didn't care for it. I guess one has to acquire a taste for it.
A couple years ago, I noticed Popeye's has a fish sandwich during Lent too.
Nutritional Downsides:
Polish dog is probably the only thin
like sauerkraut with.
I think sauerkraut is only really good with certain things. A bratwurst or Polish dog is probably the only thing I like sauerkraut with.

I like it with... more cabbage!
Squeeze out all the vinegar from the
sauerkraut, mix it up 50/50 with
regular cabbage, cook together with a
bunch of butter and paprika in the
oven.. mmmmmmm.
Sauerkraut is "really good" with most basic meats. You roast a chicken in the fireplace, sauerkraut will work fine with it. You roast ribs, same thing. It is a classic with sausages or burgers.
I could see sauerkraut being good with meats like that. And as a side note, I've never seen or heard of anyone using their fireplace to cook food. :P
I think that's a Chicago thing - pepperoncinis, chopped onion and
tomato slices.

Not pepperoncinis, but pickled sport peppers. Then mustard, chopped
onion, tomato slices (or wedges), relish, pickle spear, and a dash
of celery salt on a poppy seed bun.
IMO, the best way to eat a hot dog!

onions.. simple perfection
I produce a whole lot of cabbage at home, therefore I produce a lot of sauerkraut as a cheap way of preserving it. I remember watching a video review for a fermentation tank and the guy running the review said "I don't know who would need a tank as big as this one". I have 6 which are about the same size as that one.

Polish sausage, with a french roll, sauerkraut, good stone-ground mustard and a lager - wonderful!
I should try that. I've been trying to cut down on bread in lunches and
I am a cheap bastard. The fireplace is already lit up in order to warm the house, I might as well take advantage of the fact the fire is going to get stuff cooked.

My wife has been baking up some "out of this world" sour dough bread.
this week she made a batch half white half wheat, we had ham eggs and
sour dough bread for breakfeast, it was great.

yup i love raw chopped onions on everything. i dont like them
cooked.
Years ago, I worked in downtown San Francisco - we had a food truck
that took their hot dogs very seriously. I remember those Chicago
dogs fondly.
fresh sourdough, sliced thin and fried in a bit of olive oil with an over-medium egg on top. Perfect!

Except when it comes to a well made french onion soup. ;)

Sport Peppers: A few pickled sport peppers for a bit of heat.

There's an art to nailing a dish with 3 or 4 perfect ingredients.

You don't hear "over-medium" very often, but that's the way I like my eggs, too. Not so much a thin runny yolk, but just a bit thicker and
not yet solid is perfect, IMO.

Superb.

I'd add some hot sauce - either Tapatio or Pepper Plant hot sauce.
Just cooked enough so you can catch it before it runs onto your
shirt. :)

You can add pork cut into cubes or something and it's awesome with the cabbage. Maybe you could call it a cabbage casserole? I dunno.

Yea, that'd be OK, but... we're now out of the 3-4 ingredients
category.
Would you be willing to sacrifice the black pepper for the hot sauce?

Only if it's not cracked in a pestle, that would be a nice touch.

I've never really liked sourdough bread that much.. But I think that would sound good with a slice of French bread/baguette.

Years ago, there was a restaurant chain called "Steak Out" in
central Arkansas. Their sirloin steak tips were absolutely delicious!!
My late wife and I would order them on a regular basis...went real
good with A1 Steak Sauce.
During Lent, places that normally don't sell fish (Arby's, Wendy's,
etc.) have it on their menu, so they can pick up the Catholic
clientele.

Lore has that this is why one McD's franchisee created the
Filet-O-Fish in the 50s and then the entire chain adopted it.

There's a family in the Xenia, Ohio area...all licensed ham radio operators...mother, father, and daughter, and they all LOVE sauerkraut. They even attend a yearly sauerkraut festival up there. They can have my portion.
