    Great username for this thread :).:p
    Now I must go to see my McDentist because I've eaten too much ketchup in my time.

    Blenders ketchup is pretty decent, readily available in most Irish 'deli's', and I use that term quite loosely.

    However OP, if you ever found yourself in an old pickup truck, without a shoe in heavy snow in New Jerseys Pine Barrens, I'd say you'd not mind what brand the ketchup was.

    MIX IT WITH RELISH!

    Don't worry, I'm sure it's still made in the same sweatshops by Guatemalan children.

    They way some people go on you'd swear there are only 2 ketchups available. I used to have up to 5 types, they go with different things.

    BK and/or McDs heinz brand ketchups were different formulas than the heinz you buy in shops.

    Only noticed it today when I grabbed some ketchup sachets from yesterday's McD's meal; the ketchup is no longer Heinz! It's some kind of nondescript bland stuff which they now call M ketchup and made in Portugal. How can this outrage be dealt with?

    :mad:

    Back to you, AH.

    Another outrage I discovered! They only put half a slice of that artificial cheese on my beloved filet-o-fish! When I asked them they said that's done everywhere now but I can have a full slice on mine if I want.

    And I don't agree it is bland. It's food for the gods so it is! I will defend it to the last calorie from my gaming chair. Unfortunately, we don't have supersize me here but I am doing my damned best with what I have available.

    As for sweat shops etc. I bloody hope so! Too much PC shíte going on, I don't care if my McD's and Coke etc. comes from disadvantaged peasants who work their fingers down to bloody knuckles or little children have to clean the inside of the tiny milk containers for my morning coffee as long as I am happy. Take that world! (Damn, spilled my milkshake on my Star Trek Captain Picard Special Collector Edition Figurine The Vineyard Grower).

    it was never the same anyway when they moved it from those convenient tubs to the sachets, that horrible curry sauce is in tubs still why does that get preference of packaging over the more popular ketchup huh???? :mad:


    also ordered a quarter pounder with cheese the last time i was there and got my quarter pounder burger in a cheese burger size seeded bun! the burger was all poking out around the edges, wtf McDonalds? give me back my bigger buns!

    Dont care about the ketchup but the lack of "fritessaus" at McDonalds anywhere outside Holland is a reason for me not to take fries.

    They don't even offer normal mayonnaise as they do in German McD's either!

    Getting on the right track there. Although would prefer some Cholula or Mic's inferno being more widely available.

    Keep hearing about Mic's alright, sounds like it would be great on burgers - used sparingly of course! Haven't seen it for sale anywhere in Dublin however, might have to order online.

    It always amazes me that there are supposed to be tomatoes somewhere in tomato ketchup. No matter what brand it is, it doesn't even resemble a tomato taste.

    Those tubs of curry sauce are 20c each unless you get them with nuggets,that's probably why they dicky them up more.Your right about the quarter pounders and the small buns,I've noticed it in a few places.Can be a messy affair if you don't bite around the edges first.

    Joppiesaus was developed by the owner of a cafeteria in Glanerbrug, who herself was nicknamed Joppie.

    Surely one would have to be quite "familiar", *ahem* with the lady in question in order to make that judgement.

    Funny, I find Heinz stuff very watery and much prefer Chef.

    A good Irish product.

    All chef products are vile. Far too much vinegar in them.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    All depends how much you like vinegar.

    I like vinegar a lot and maybe explains why I like Chef.

    Stupid to call it vile, it's all a matter of taste. Not as if Ketchup is exactly haut cuisine.
