A local neighbor has a son that works at McDonald's, and the manager let the son take home some frozen French fries.

So the dad, who has a deep fryer, went out and bought some beef suet, and turned it into tallow in the fryer, and made original, authentic McDonald's fries.

Holy Crap was it better than today's fries..., and of course a heart attack in each and every red box of the things.... :shocked2:

For many years, McDonald's fries were my very favorite, though I didn't know they were fried in beef suet? I thought they were fried in Lard? Since they changed to the "new" CRAPPY TASTING PC oil, I have almost stopped going to McDonald's as I am still extremely disappointed in the fries and quit buying them long ago, plus the burgers kept in the little yellow plastic trays, taste like cardboard. Maybe that's why they are now advertising they once again are cooking their Quarter Pounders to order? It is probably far too late to even hope they will change back to the better tasting suet or lard or oil they used to use on their fries, as at least one generation now has grown up on those CRAPPY TASTING fries and don't know any better.

[NeilMacleod]

200 gr Blueberries
93 gr Ginger Root Fresh
56 gr Garlic Fresh
86 gr Turmeric root dry
1/2 qrt Red Habanero paste (Blitzed Red Habs)
50 gr pink salt
1L Whey
1/2 qrt ACV (home made)


-Soak Turmeric in ACV alone to hydrate and remove potential fungus.
-Add Blueberries, Red Habanero, Ginger, Garlic and salt and Blitz till smooth.
-Blitz Turmeric with ACV, then add Cranberries.
-Add whey and both mixtures to fermenting container.

Wait

 

[Brokennock]

Is it possible to make it without the whey?

If you don’t already own a restaurant , you should!

Great looking meals!

Thanks for posting...

 

[Kansas Kid]

Thanks, that sounds like it has my favorite ingredient which is flavor.

 

[NeilMacleod]

No I dont, too much work lol.
Whey for me is how to start the fermentation, if you just want to cook it up then just use water. Natural Kefir/Yogurt can be used to start fermentation. I make my own so thats why I have Whey on hand. The natural Apple Cider Vinegar also adds to the fermentation if it has the "Mother" etc.
Yup Fresh Turmeric adds great flavor, needs to be the roots and not the powder, powder tends to be bitter and looses its nutrients.
If the roots dry in storage, just soak them.

I started growing My own Turmeric from a root, important to have very good drainage so it does not stay wet and go moldy.

 

[Brokennock]

Thanks. I figured that was the reason for it's use. Unfortunately I can't digest the stuff.

 

[NeilMacleod]

Perhaps if it was fermented, thats why fermented sauces work so well and better tasting.

I love fries with a ton of catsup but soggy is bad. Even good fries re-heated sucks. In school there was a place across with fries to die for and it seems it was all I ever had for lunch. Crispy and tender inside. Long Johns came with fish and we get them once in a while but the fish had 6" of coating and shrimp is microscopic inside. Burger King makes onion rings from powder.
Then to see what you make sure makes me want to visit.
My wife found Himalayan pink salt at the store and it adds an astounding flavor to fried food. Just a tiny pinch is all needed.

Great Scott, man! You certainly are an inspiration!
