I was born in 1978, so my experience is limited, but McDonalds in the 1980's was far superior than 90's to present. Especially the fries and the fried pies, but even the original sandwiches taste slightly different to me. I wish they'd go back to their original recipes. McDonalds is meant to be a treat or occasional convenience, not a part of our every day diet!

@emmymade the trick for the real McDonald's French Fries that turn golden instead of brown is to freeze them for at least 12 and up to 24 hours after the par-fry. The freeze allows the fries and potatoes to crystallize properly inside, and thus makes them wonderfully fluffy and light. Their fry time is about 7 minutes at the regular thickness after a solid freeze.

@DramaisFunny 3 жыл бұрын
@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 Alot of "processed" fats are trans fat. Usually they started with a vegetable oil or "a mono saturated fat". This oil is then processed through some chemical reactions (depends on company and the product so I won't try to explain that part) to make them have a more stable shelf life. What's the problem with this? Well trans fat are not found in nature and the body is stupid so if it can't identify the matter the go to is usually to store the trans fat. Thus leading to more potential weight gain and various heart/cholesterol based health problems when consumed in excess. Beef and other animal fats are atleast properly recongized by the body and wont necessarily instantly be stored as fat in the body rather then being burned for calories or used to support certain body functions.

You should try some Jamaican recipes like Sorrel which is like a Hibiscus tea, or patties which are bright yellow pastries with meat or vegetables inside (my favorite are the saltfish ones) or you could try coconut drops which are sweet, ginger-y, chewy balls of coconut. You could try saltfish or banana fritters which are absolutely heavenly, so easy to make and they're just perfect to eat as a snack or as a side dish. Toto would be a good cake to make, it's kind of like a pound cake and it's sweet and slightly ginger-y and nutmeg-y. Traditional rum cake is also a very famous one, the more modern version with buttercream is my favorite. Or just try guava jam, I've never tried making it but you could, it's really good on toast and Cubans eat something similar with cheese 😁🌟

I remember reading somewhere (Kenji, perhaps?) that the other secret to fantastic fries is to *FREEZE* them after the 1st fry, & possibly even do the 2nd fry straight out the freezer? Additionally, I've gotten that 'crisp outside, mealy inside' effect by doing a quick parboil in water with vinegar added to it; combined with the double fry technique, it's amazing. Really great homemade fries are definitely a labor of love! I hope to pick up a deep fryer someday, and then I will spend a WHOOOOOLE day prepping fries for the freezer; with the deep fryer, it'll also be MUCH easier to fry some up on a whim! Right now I just can't be bother to fill the pot then clean it after for just me & my kid. My Nana had a deep fryer & would make us fried dough when we went over! Also, I know it's been mentioned a majillion times, but your fries would probably be less bendy had you patted them VERY dry first.

The solid shortening also used to come in a box as a big cube about a foot square. As I recall that was enough for one fryer. We also kept a cube of it in the grill area to grease up the grills and top off the fryers.

When my friends and I were teenagers in the 70s, we would actually go to McDonalds just for the fries ( something we could afford to buy and eat!) However the very first time I ever went to McDonalds it was a drive up place and I could watch them make the fries from scratch!

Thank you for this! I remember the fries before they changed the recipe and they were so much better. The fries today are really hard, but I remember that they were soft even when they cooled. It's hard to describe but I remember that the fries in the bottom were my favorite because they were soft and greasy, but in a good way. Now they are just hard all the time. It's the same with pizza. Pozza used to bend when you picked it up, sometimes taking two hands to hold, or folding it in a v so it wouldn't flop over and now the crust is like cardboard. That's how it is with McDonald's fries. They don't bend anymore. It looks like the ones in your video do. I can't wait to see how they are with the larger cut. Also, why not duplicate the original all beef tallow recipe?

Everyone is freakin out on tiktok about this African food called Fufu. Some kind of doughy starchy stuff you dip into this stew that is traditionally eatin with it. I think they say it’s made of yam powder or something ? I think it’d be really fun for you to make it !!
@udokaamadi9565 3 жыл бұрын
You did it into a soup. Two of my favorites are egusi soup and okra. The fufu can be made out of a lot of things. But what you’re referring to is tuber (yam). You peel it, boil it, drain the water and then pound it, somewhat like making mashed potatoes and that’s pretty much it.

I managed a McDonalds in the 70's during the switch from fresh to frozen fries. We didn't soak the fries with sugar but did the blanching process , cooled the fries and then used them later. The frozen were pre blanched. Also a quick note . We used Burbank Russets for ten months of the year swiching to California northern whites for two months. We also used Very finly ground salt, almost like powder.

McDonald’s fries are coated with sugar first, then they are coated with “sodium acid pyrophosphate”, a chemical that prevents them from turning gray in the freezer and keeping them all the same color when cooked. They are indeed blanched once, then cooled, then frozen.

On the first fry - The thing that you used to get them out of the oil, I use that to lower them in. I don't have a proper chip fryer, or basket, so to reduce the risk of splashback, I use that, and lower them in. Much less splash than if you use your hand, and less risk of burning your hand or face too.

The original fry recipe didn't involve any kind of fry marinating like that, used a 93% beef tallow and 7% cottonseed oil mixture to fry in and was only ever fried once. Mcdonalds itself confirmed this many times

That makes more sense to me. Maybe they soak them in sugar today but they didn't taste sugary back in the old days. All that tallow made it delish without sugar.
