My thoughts on all things bad for your liver, including wine, beer, spirits and food. There will be the odd political post with a food or drink slant. The name of the blog comes from my days working in a hospital where they announced Intern Parties with "liver and electrolyte rounds will begin at..."
Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. The burger that has become an American classic, has been called by Federic Morin a recipe in perfect balance and is one of the few fast food items I admit to craving. And now you can make it better by making it at home. McDonald's has released a video of exactly what is in the "special sauce" and I for one applaud them for understanding that sharing recipes won't undermine your business but instead will build loyalty.
I did some experimenting to get the proportions right for you. Oh, the sacrifices I make for you people.
3/4 Cup Mayo
1/4 Cup Relish
1 tsp each:
Yellow Mustard
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Paprika (plain, not smoked, not hot)
White Wine Vinegar
And now, if you will excuse me, I have some burgers to make.
Stumbled across this wonderful website and thought it would be good to share it here. I think McDonalds deserves a lot of credit for doing this and hope that they give honest answers to all the questions that are asked and don't try burying some of the uncomfortable ones. I also think that many people will be surprised at the answers. I have no ethical issues with McDonalds and their food. They are in business to make money; they do so by providing a pretty decent value for your money. However, I don't spend a lot of money at McDonalds because I just don't think the food tastes that great. I will, on the other hand, admit to the odd Big Mac craving and a love their milkshakes.
So, if you have ever wanted to ask McDonalds about their food, company or service, head over and ask away.
