& who the heck said MacDonalds is an essential part of the Aussie eating experience.

'T'ain't like eating in a small town pub, is it?

I think you missunderstood me LK,
I consider McDonalds to be the lowest form of sustainance there is, but it did come from your side of the planet!

Actually eating in a small town pub is some of the best meals I can think of while travelling, great big jucy steaks & salad with chips apart from simply pulling up beside the road on a stock route (the long paddock) in the middle of nowhere & break out the Camp Oven.

I was really talking about a hamburger from an Aussie fish n' chip shop, You'll not get a better, more fresh or nourishing hamburger!!

& likely something that really is a hamburger. Not sure what MacDonalds serves really has meat in it.

Yep Derek, all the beef is 100% Aussie.
But that probably only makes up about 10% 0f the total content.
Then we have the fillers and the mixers and the like.

Thank you, Lance.

I know of a case where, MacDonalds had to conform to local architectural style (Amsterdam), but I've never heard of them changing their product formulas.

I mean, what can you expect from a company that wanted to legally claim the exclusive right to the name and graphic displays (hearldry) for the Scots name MacDonald? For real, it caused much media attention in the northern Anglo hemisphere.

MacDonald's burgers sure don't taste like they have a lot of meat content to me.

Huh

Actally no.

All McDonalds meat patties in Australia are 100% beef with no additives whatsoever. Not saying thats very good lean beef or where it is cut off the animal but it is 100% beef

Derek, my understanding of MacDonalds corporate mentality is such that I have to ask you for some documentation for that.

Among other things, I'm sure they use salt. So, let's start with 99%.

http://www.mcdonalds.com.au/PDFs/IngredientListing.pdf ; Look at the ingredients - 100% Beef. The rest of the burger has got all sorts of things in it but the meat patties are true.

I have very good friends that outright own their own McDonald's store and in fact have become millionaires as a result because they have the only store in a rather large area. It was a big issue when they started it here in Australia and the watchdogs took them up on it and did heaps of tests but the answer came back every time ~ 100% pure beef with no fillers or additives.
