I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert
Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family
Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.

Nice picture of a crumpet.

My friend's mother's parents came from the Isle of Man, so she learned
to make Yorkshire pudding as a girl.
I have had neither Bovril nor Marmite. And the Irish Goodall's steak
sauce is far more flavorful than HP Sauce.

Encasing sausage in dough is not limited to the UK.
Had one Scotch egg, once. Not desperate for another.
Haven't spotted any dick yet -- is it good?
(but what about sherry trifle -- that is what I could get behind.)
Chipped potatoes should be crisp, not soggy. So no gravy.
I have had mushy peas and a full English breakfast -- with black
pudding -- many times. Love grilled to-MAH-to, as well as mushrooms.

Haven't had bubble and squeak, or haggis (lungs not considered fit
for human consumption in the US). Salad cream is really an adaptation
of US salad dressings. But Branston Pickle is indeed good on a cheese
sandwich.

McDonald's changed industry standards and you can only talk about the

Same.

Try bubble and squeak. It isn't that different to home fries with mashed
potato.

Because she *knows everything* I could go on at length but really, she
simply isn't worth it. If others can't see through her that is their
problem.

I'm not so sure they 'revolutionized diabetes'. Diabetes was around long
before they had anything to do with it. On the other hand, they did
revolutionize the 'speedy acquisition' of childhood obesity and the
ensuing diabetes epidemic which followed.

I believe it could be said the revolutionized making extruded chips,
yucky things.

Didn't they invent the potato?

Way, way back, McD popularized the French fry and made them readily
available and cheap for the masses. I think they were 10 cents when
burgers were 15 cents. They were salty, tasty, fresh made in beef
tallow. The recipe has changed over the years for healthy eating
reasons. IMO, they are just another fast food fry.

Making them more popular is not a revolution though.

That will be our snack tonight. I saw a can of it when making tea this
morning and it has been a while since we've had some.

They completely changed the standards of potato production and
potatoes in general. Those humongous 1+ pound potatoes people call
dinner these days were virtually unknown until McDonald's became a
behemoth and their demands were met with "of course". If their model
didn't work, no one else would have copied them.

A meme (/'mi?m/ meem) is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from

Early 60's when we got our first McDonalds near Annapolis, MD.
Fries were 12 cents - same as comic books
Hamburgers were 15 cents.
Bazooka bubble gum with comic and fortune cost a penny.

Each week, I would divide my measly allowance and buy one fries, one
hamburger, and some comic books. I always had to have my McD fix so I
usually begged my mom for some extra money for a few extra comic
books. She was a softy too....she always gave me enough to buy 3-4
comic books.

French fries were popular around here long before there was a McDonalds.
They were a common dish and side dish long before that fast food
franchise. Most restaurants around here offered them with gravy.
Frankly, I don't understand the attraction to McDonalds fries. I think
they are about the worst fries around.

You need to lighten up on this issue. First of all, you might not like
McDonalds food but you are in the minority. Lots of ppl like it and
the company makes a fortune each year worldwide.

It's "different" food and I've always loved it. Don't eat there often,
maybe once or twice a year but I'm always happy when I do.

Because of the McD french fry talk here lately, I stopped by on the
way home yesterday. All I bought was 2 small fries (from their 'not a
dollar anymore' menu). They were fresh cooked. Got out to my van and
tasted one. It needed a bit of salt so I dumped out both bags into the
large bag, added one packet of their nifty popcorn salt, shook the bag
then started eating them as I drove home.

Keep in mind, I hadn't had these in almost a year but WOW! What an
amazingly good taste and crunch. There was no stopping. Their food is
no where near YUCK. It's pretty darn good eats.

YMMV but mine never will. I've always loved and always will love McD
food. They are not responsible for overweight people. The people
themselves that overeat need to take full responsibility for that.

That is absolute nonsense. Mc D's first burger/hotdog stall was in
1937. LONG before then, in other climates farmers and home gardeners
could and did grow potatoes of that size (and without irrigation).

Here's all the crud that goes into Mc D French Fries.

http://metro.co.uk/2015/01/22/macdon...vealed-how-it-

Chips, OTOH, are just peeled, cut and fried in boiling fat which is
why both the texture and taste are so superior to FF.

I'm right there with you. I don't go there much at all anymore, but I do
love the food, and it is up to people as to what and how much they stuff in
their faces, not McD's, Little Debbie, Hostess, or anyone else.

You're right about that. I became morbidly obese while only
going to McDonalds about once or twice a decade.

I'm not a fan of McDonalds. Their burgers are overcooked. I'd
rather have a good bar burger cooked medium-rare.

When we peel, cut, and fry potatoes in boiling fat, we call them
French fries. No difference, really. I've had them cut every way
from thin shoestrings of potato 1/4" thick to enormous wedges that
amounted to about 1/8 of a potato.

McDonalds just made a commodity of them, and lowered everybody's expectation
of what a French fry should be.

I can recall eating some godawful French fries in the early 60s, before
McD's took hold of the American palate. And I can recall eating some
excellent ones over the years.

Very true. Nobody forces them to eat it.

We have to agree to disagree on this - it's something like 30 years
since I was in one or ate anything of theirs.

Every Thursday morning I stop on my way to work and get two breakfast
sandwiches. I have breakfast a couple days a week with a co-worker. She
likes the McGriddles so ai get her one and I sometimes get that or a
biscuit sandwich. Been doing that for a few years. .

Many of us would. It is sometimes a matter of convenience. Two minutes
through the drive through versus 20+ going to a real burger place.

> through the drive through versus 20+ going to a real burger place.

Naturally I would like a nice burger or other at home or in some
restaurant, but days like yesterday, I spent all morning pulling out
dead flowers and otherwise getting the yard ready for winter, taking
four drum liners of crap to the recycle yard ... we just grabbed
lunch at McDonald's, strictly a coincidence. It's all I had the
energy for, it was fine. A chicken sandwich and some fries. Done.
