Wth happened? They used to be so damn good 🙁
Even if they were oversalted sometimes (we would just brush off the extra salt) they were still good.
 
Back in the day the fries were cooked in a combo of vegetable oil and beef tallow (fat). When they changed to all vegetable oil thats when they had a major drop off in taste.
It must by like 20 years since they changed over.

The fries still have tallow inside them. Though they are suppose to switch away from the oil MD currently uses to something that has a lot less transfat.

McDonalds Fries:

Potatoes, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavor (beef source), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (to preserve natural color). Cooked in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (may contain partially hydrogenated soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated corn oil and/or partially hydrogenated canola oil and/or cottonseed oil and/or sunflower oil and/or corn oil).


Why do they use hydrogenated vegetable oil. ..
When you deep fry something, don't you want liquid oil, not solid ?

When it's heated it does become a liquid. Maybe hydrogenated oil is easier to handle/ship.

 
You talking about those limp little slivers of fried potato they try to call french fries? Those have always been vile. Infact, fast food is vile period and I don't think I'll ever eat it again 😛

Try making homemade french fries, and you'll see quality.

I didn't eat at McD's for more then a year, but we had some yesterday and the burgers were ok but the fries were just limp and tasteless, not the way I remember at all.
