! ... Of course, I am the guy the puts
! powdered sugar on french fries,...
Powdered suger on french fries? Sounds... wierd... but tasty. I'll
have to try it. Well, you _can_ go to a carnival and get fried dough with
powdered sugar on it, so I guess it's not that much of a stretch...
But I have to admit, McDonalds french fries in thier choclate shake
is pretty good too.

McDonalds puts sugar in their french fries, I recently head on NPR. Apparently
their sales increased slightly when they started doing that. It's consistent
with their tendency to limit our diet to salt, fat, and sugar. In reality, I
guess we do it to ourselves, since we don't have to eat there. The only meal I
occasionally take at the Golden Arches, is breakfast, since they do, oddly
enough, have pretty passable coffee.

ISTR that the main ingredients in the emergency ration bars which soldiers are
equipped with is exactly salt, fat and sugar. It obviously not that bad if
you're otherwise starving. You're just not supposed to eat it in times of
peace.

Presumably, for soldiers in the field, long term life

New subject: Molecular transistors...
http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/ptech/11/08/tiny.transistors.ap/index.html
WASHINGTON (AP) -- When two Bell Labs scientists invented the
transistor
in 1947, it was as tall as the face of a wristwatch. Now, another Bell
team has
made a transistor from a single molecule -- small enough to fit about
10 million on the head of a pin.
This could get interesting, folks...

McDonald's ALSO adds a "beef extract" to their fries!
Some Hindus and vegetarians were quite upset to find out.
But the McDonald's spokesperson said, "We NEVER said that our fries were
vegetable."

Golden Arches's fries... yumm.
Then sugar now beef favoring in fries, I see. Anyway I like it
not too cooked that it is too dry and hard, yuk. But too often of
late, I bite into green patatoes. Blech! Burgers, no smoke taste
or char on those burger meat. Boring...I always ordered one w/
bacon to kickstart the taste buds (those people usually overcook that
bacon awww), no pickles and no ketchup and add real tomato yes, you
can and justask for it. Pickles is too tangy and ketchup washes out
the overall favor of whole burger.
True japanese restaurants are incredicably hard to find and we know
of one in north bay, ontario, when we do visit grandma, we may
choose to go there and watch the chef do their cooking then
have a wonderful dinner. This is real treat because we go there
very seldom.

The topic says "food". I thought food was supposed to keep you alive.
But this thread seems to be about foul tasting slow-acting poisons...

Hmmm, I noticed that there fries had changed lately. I thought that
they just cheapened up on them. I don't think that they are as good as
they used to be.

The best potatoes in a fast food chain are the potato wedges at KFC. They
coat them with old bay seasoning.

I like the "regular" fries at Arby's. I don't care too much for the
curley fries, However.
Potatoes and popcorn are the two foods that I eat that I refuse to skimp
with the salt.... gotta have salt with both, yum yum :-)

The french fries at MickeyD's are sprayed with a sugar/starch water mix and
flash frozen, it helps them get the golden brown color. they are also
blanched during the manufacturing process to make them faster cooking in
the stores and give the creamy texture inside... (was a mickey-d's manager
in a previous incarnation)
