Quoted from Jaybird815:Does that make this lil argument a poser vs a hoser?
That's fucking hilarious!!!
Hosers over Posers any day baby!!!
What's even funnier is that punkin has a Northern Hemispheric doppelganger who is also a big time poser. The guy is on Storage Wars Canada and poses as a locker buyer. Same stupid hat and all! LOL

Sincere apologies, i am trying with all my might not to argue or bicker despite the treatment i am being offered.
Quoted from Sinistarrett:No more besmirching!
Besmirching was always tolerated here. Frowned upon, but tolerated.
Posing is not. GTFO Posers and let's post some FoF pics!

Poser AND a victim now?!?!! Can dish it but can't take the same treatment? LOL
Quoted from tomdrum:They had to have a dedicated deep fryer because the pies will smell of fish if dropped in the same vat. Back then every product was fried in beef fat, what they called "shortening".
Now you have triggered flashbacks to my McD's career. They used to deliver the shortening in a big block (maybe 16" on a side), wrapped in blue plastic and then cardboard. Must have weighed 60+ pounds. I know the carton of filet was the heaviest thing coming off the Martin-Brower truck at 64 pounds.
I just remember hefting that damn block of shortening onto the side of the empty fryer, and letting it slide out of the box / plastic, and god help you if you did not get it melted and hot by lunch time.
And the damn fryer grease got filtered nightly - a huge metal tub with a 24-26" diameter filter, a pump, and a hose with a wooden collar to hold to put the hot grease back into the fryer. I saw someone do it a while back at a McD's and they looked like they were wearing a biohazard or arc-flash suit. We did it in our uniforms, maybe we had rubber gloves. I got some pretty wicked grease burns on my hands / arms ....

Quoted from skink91:I think you guys need to get a room… and feed each other FoFs.
He doesn't eat them though....he's a poser. What else could I feed him instead? Fries dipped in chocolate shake?? Seems like that's only something children would do though. Like peaches and mustard.

I did that nasty ass job for years. The owner of the McD's I worked at was a cheap SOB so fryers got cleaned every other day. Some days there was was so much FOF breading laying in the bottom the drain would be clogged and I had to use a make shift coat hanger to try to clear it thru the 350 degree oil. The fry vats were just as horrible. The sick teenagers working there would catch flies by cupping their hands and then toss them in the hot oil to watch them fry. $2.65 an hour!

I remember unloading those shortening boxes from the truck and cycling all the dated boxes in the freezer. What a pain in the ass all that was. Especially in the freezer when it was -25 outside.
It was also near impossible to open those shortening boxes without getting it on you.

Quoted from ImNotNorm:I just find it humorous how triggered you are in this thread. An old mad getting in a tizzy over a sandwich he rarely eats. Over condiments he doesn't even like, or uses. Lol
We're all here to bust each other's balls and rave about the FoF....and you just come off as a hypocritical douche. But I digress....stay classy punkin.
He clearly stated Tom Petty. I read he has great taste in music.
I rate your response a 6.3. That low cuz ketchup. That is all…

I like Tom Petty. Rumor is he enjoys FoFs too. Actually eats them and isn't a poser.
Not sure about his ketchup usage though.

I am sure he enjoyed them regularly (without Satan’s condiment of course.)

I thought I saw in an interview that Tom wrote this song based on his personal experience of what it is like for him to order his FOF “cooked to order”. Could be wrong on this though.

I’m pretty certain Tom Petty hasn’t eaten a FoF in years.
I suppose you can bust out a ouija board and ask him though.
Quoted from mooch:Had a couple o’ them tonight.
Both were good, but I’ll leave the ratings to the experts.
Decent tartar quantity. Perhaps a bit too long in the frier? I have trouble putting numbers to these darlings… I don’t want them to feel objectified. They are all perfect in their own unique way.

Those are some mighty fine steamed buns. Only thing I would take points off for is the imperfect centering, but I've seen far worse.
9.6 and 9.2

I concur with your 'too long in the fryer' observation.
The filets should be a light golden brown color. These are bit too dark.
Aside from this, the sandwiches appear to be well assembled. Nice steaming of the buns too.
We had the grandkids over yesterday, so we made the rare trip to McD's for take out.
After seeing all the FOF porn pics here, I thought I'd try one.
While this one looks like it was made on the wrong side of the tracks and possibly dragged behind the delivery truck, it tasted quite good.
I really wanted to go with some of the added extras others have mentioned, but at this particular restaurant, that would have been a dicey choice. I was lucky there was even a FOF in the box.

Even with the toasted bun, rookie-job on the tartar squirt(s), ripped up filet… they still can’t ruin the glorious taste!

I hate to besmirch those in awe of steamed buns, but I prefer mine toasted.

6.0

I see that.
Was yours toasted by default?
That's pretty generous.
Quoted from SuperGrafx:I see that.
Was yours toasted by default?
Yes. Didn't even think of asking for anything specific. Like I said, I was happy a FOF ended up in the box.

Looks like a bite was taken out of it just to ensure quality!
At least the cheese was somewhere in the sandwich...
I bought a double cheeseburger from a walmart location and the cheese was actually on top of the bun...
Im all for hiring the handicapped, but sometimes they need guidance...
Quoted from Budman:Pretty significant miss by the cross eyed assembler. Tasted great!
Just wondering.... how about the Frisch's Big Boy tartar sauce as a substitute?
[quoted image][quoted image]
Fish is still in the box! (albeit barely...) No bites taken out if it?
So, extra points for the attempt?

After getting the boot for arguing with with FoF poser I decided heed your advice. Went to McD's, got a FoF, came home and asked him via the ouija board. He responded!
FOFOuijaTom.gifQuoted from SuperGrafx:I'm really nostalgic for the old blue styrofoam containers that the FOF (and other McDonalds' sandwiches) came in back in olden days.
I see them for sale on eBay. I should buy one.[quoted image]
I remember those. I was also thinking....didn't they used to wrap the FoF like they do the McMuffins and cheeseburgers now?
Seems a lot of the issues regarding cheese/sauce (mis)placement would be resolved if the FoF was wrapped as opposed to placed in a large box where its prone to be thrown around during handling.

Per my recollections, I don't believe the FoF was wrapped during the blue styrofoam era (at least in the US markets)
I recall it was simply placed in the container, much like it is today.
That being said, I feel that the styrofoam provided a more snug fit, so the sandwich and contents were able to stay intact.

Correct. I meant post blue container era. When I used to work there I could of sworn we wrapped the FoFs. I may be wrong.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Correct. I meant post blue container era. When I used to work there I could of sworn we wrapped the FoFs. I may be wrong.
Thinking back, I believe you are correct.
There was a period of time where I remember the FoF was simply wrapped in blue wax paper (they may have even tried this with the Big Mac, albeit with a cardboard retaining sleeve. THis may have been an early attempt at eco-friendliness.
Then they realized the error of their ways and switched to cardboard boxes for their 'premium' sandwiches.
Quoted from Budman:cross eyed
MMMMM cheesy cardboard!
Quoted from SuperGrafx:albeit with a cardboard retaining sleeve.
Yupp, the cardboard sleeve kept all that goodness together.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:After getting the boot for arguing with with FoF poser I decided heed your advice.
Wait, what?
Quoted from skink91:Wait, what?
He was put in FoF timeout for a bit, now that’s passion for the flaky goodness!!
Quoted from Dee-Bow:I was trying to think of a funny fish pun.. if you think of one let minnow
Im far too sofishticated to make puns just for the halibut.
