I can has vegan beefburger?
I read the most amazing article today about McDonalds admitting it was adding milk and wheat to their french fries. (Can we call them chips now please? This is an English Weblog - In fact were I come from they fry them in beef fat anyway).
Admittedly, I find it a tad strange that McDs are adding such things to their chips but that’s not my problem with the article. My problem is with comments such as:
“I am vegan. I have eaten their vegetable burger with fries for many years. I will never do it again. I really hope their vegetable burgers were animal free.”
What? What fucking retarded vegan would eat at McDonalds anyway? I can understand if they were forced in there once and had to eat something to be social or because they were starving but come on, this one has eaten there “for many years” and not had the nouse to actually check with McDonalds that their stuff was animal free? This is McDonalds, not some trendy vegan restaraunt in Covent Garden.
Then it struck me… Half way down the article there is a quote:
“Nadia Sugich, a vegan, is also suing McDonald’s. Vegans do not eat any animal products at all (vegetarians include dairy and eggs in their diet, vegans don’t). Had she known the product contained milk she would not have touched them.”
Silly me - How did I miss that? It’s just an excuse to sue somebody. Obviously these people expected a certain duty of care and dedication to their high standards of vegan care FROM A FUCKING HAMBURGER SHOP!
Well I am sorry and I have no issue with most vegans, but in this case I hope the courts force them to pay costs and tell them to fuck off and get a life.
This is an interesting little article on cooking chips called
The Horse Crisperer: horse fat french fries
in which the author makes a pretty good case for McD’s fries being some of the best in the world.
On the same site, I am in heaven with:
Au Pied de Cochon’s foie gras poutine with horse fat fries
Bugger. Now I need to go to Montreal.
Talking of Burgers; today’s Sheldon is lovely.

I don’t know how things work over there, but here (in the Netherlands) there is one hot plate that I am aware of. Seeing as they thus cook all of the burgers on the same feakin’ plate, and non veggie burgers tend to leak molten fat, your veggie burgers are probably baked in animal fat anyway.
Seriously, how soddin’ dense can you be?
It’s not like McDonalds employees are known over here for their high work ethics, or even IQ’s. Thinking that they would care if the non-animal foods came into contact with animal products… That’s just wishful thinking…
A- I only have one question: Are those people americans?
B- Yes
A- No further questions your honor.
I laughed so much reading this… get a life indeed! And how I would love it if they were really still fried in beef fat…
