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.

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
