gosh very long comment, no time to read all but seems there's some misinformation, plus he also forgot, when they put "chicken" in the mcnuggets, it's not just meaty part of the chicken, it's a mince with cartilage etc too... :squeeze:

(or that's what jamie oliver told me in one of his tv programs)

Hmmmm - methought that the cartilage is also a GREAT calcium source tho' - any comment(s)??

[LiLiaN]

not really a good thing, according to this article (http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSupplements/Cartilagecs.html)...

me thought that chicken innards go into making the nuggets.

[yee keong]

i had more Mc Nuggets today :D

[Fishingman]

Well, like it or not but most meat products especially the cheap ones use MDM(mechanically deboned meat) meat. So don't expect too much.

[yee keong]

well, i did try to look at what's in my Mc Nuggets, and true enough, i only see very little ACTUAL chicken meat. the rest are ......... umm .... god knows!

I take a shot but dunno if right or not-lah, I'll say some ISP (Isolated soy protein), modified starch, fat, water, phosphate, some chicken etc.

I was wondering if McD in bolehland uses the same ingredients or not.I mean they won't manufacture the nuggets in US and ship them here right? Different countries have different regulations so I won't be suprised if they use even lower quality products here to lower the cost. It's all about the money right? :blink:

But I'll choose a McD's nugget over a local brand like ayamas, dindings, five star etc anytime. At least you still can see some real meat in the McD nuggets.:laugh:

i'm not much of a nugget fan actually. patties are for sissy. i want to have REAL meat, and blood red steak are the best!

come to think of it, one of the best burgers i had was a homemade patty (with not so minced patty)

Not the kind with the blood that flows out when you cut into them right? Or would you prefer to carved straight from the cattle? :laugh: Just kidding.

Burgers are easy to make at home. No meat grinder also can, just chop them by hand.
Cutting a large slab of meat is kinda geli at first cos it feels like you're slicing up someone's leg or torso only. Cut up a 9kg slab of beef brisket last week and I was letting my imagination run wild. Beef is much firmer than other meats like pork and I can imaging it's gonna be really messy to slaughter a cattle.

well, i like my steak medium rare, more on the rare side for juicier parts (bet you know where all the juice is coming from)

Steak is a piece of a dead cattle, so I'm guessing it came from the cattle???:laugh: but I like my steak more towards well done... don't like blood on my plate, geli man.

What would be your MINIMUM cooking percentage - 80 percent? 90 percent?

BTW Jake's Charbroil Steaks (Damansara Heights) punya 80 percent T-Bone Steak still QUITE BLOODY leh!

[yee keong]

really? 80% and still bloody? hmmmm.....i like my steak soft and juicy. kinda melt in the mouth kind of experience, but charbroil don't give that sensation.

[Fishingman]

Anson,
So long as there's no blood flowing out of my meat I'm ok with it.

[LiLiaN]

get good cut of fillet of steak and pan fried it...
don't know how much aunt does it, it always comes out nice and juicy...
and we usually have it medium to well...

you need Kobe beef.

[yee keong]

well, what i understand, 5-6 mins each side for 1inch steak give medium rare. 7-8 will give medium. temperature i forgot.

well, havent eaten kobe, but they say wagyu more expensive. apparently, instead of beer, they drink wine...and they even specify what type vintage even, and of course, with wine, they listen to classical music...

I don't think McD will try a stunt like that-lah, kena sue kau kau man! Those mamak stall's fried chicken another story-lah but nobody can confirm.

Confirmed it's a myth. I worked in KFC before.
BTW, it's not something that's added during frying that contribute to the crispiness...i think it's something in the fries itself...anyone can confirm?
You can manage to get your fries (the uncooked ones sold in supermarkets) crispy too if you fry them long enough in oil that's hot enough.

[athena]

all fries, McD's or KFC, if you tarak makan sana, tapao back..all also lembik le!

Agree, best to eat there. But sometimes the paper bag helps to absorb the moisture and the fries remain crispy slightly longer, at least still can eat while driving.

Anyone tried replicating those apple pies made by McD? I love those stuff but not the nanana pie cos the flavour very artificial-laa. Pineapple pies also not too bad but I think it's a promotional item right? Now you can add on 2 pies for Rm3. I bought 4 and hantam 3 at one sitting just last week. yum yum!

[Ah Boh]

*high five fishingman*

i love d apple pies too! but max i can hantam is 2 pcs so RM3 promo for 2 pcs is perfect for me. :) i tried both banana & pineapple too, former very plain but latter pretty good, tho my fav will always be apple pie. god knows how many times i've gone to mcd just for pies n choc milkshake, dats another addiction of mine... MMmmmm...
