Fox - as has been mentioned more than once - you are talking about the US recipe. The UK recipe is very different. Also, the people who pay a premium for organic, locally sourced yada yada generally don't eat in McDonald's. You've missed the mark...

According to the McDonalds UK website, ingredients for fries are as follows:


Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Rapeseed), Dextrose (only added at beginning of the potato season).

Prepared in the restaurants using a non-hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Salt is added after cooking.

Nothing at all. But I can make chips at home without using lemon Juice..

Hello, Foxy's off on a flounce.

I have always thought of that as an argument of convenience somewhat.

Personally I thought it was revolting. One friend became such an enthusiast she would sit in her car idling the engine waiting for something to step out. The bloodlust became clear when her family refused to eat it and she carried on.

Not to mention the fact, that, to my knowledge, none of the people on here are abject morons.


Fox, do you really think any of us thinks that McDonalds food is good for us? I like good food, but sometimes I eat a Snickers, and I know it's shit, but I am more than ok with that. Beer's bad for you. Smoking's bad for you. Too much cheese is bad for you. But we drink, smoke, eat fondue and go see the personal trainer. I am entirely at peace with the cognitive dissonance.


Oh. And it's not even the bloody UK recipe anyway.

    • Crikey. I made one commentย  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.ย  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your postsย  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have aย  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this threadย  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.ย  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.ย  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I amย  retired, apart from promoting andย  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!ย  I do have many otherย  things to do!ย  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.ย  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I amย  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.ย  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name ๐Ÿ˜‰ Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.ย  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
