Not "beef-like"; if it comes from the cow, it's beef.

Yeah, but German McDonalds serve BEER. And it's even decent beer (far better that the Bud/Miller/Coors that we would get here if McDonalds served beer here)

Yeah, but like I said, at least it's better than Coors/Bud/Miller or none at all.

When I was in the Navy, my first meal when we got back from patrol was two Big Macs, 20 Mc nuggets (with hot mustard sauce) and a six-pack of Bud. There were times at sea when I would have done almost anything for a Big Mac!

Bitburger is pretty much the German equivalent to Coors/Bud/Miller.

Fast food in Germany is different, and it is probably better in the states...but food overall in Germany is much better than in the states. So I'm perfectly fine with that.

The company, Beef Products Inc., had been looking to expand into the hamburger business with a product made from beef that included fatty trimmings the industry once relegated to pet food and cooking oil. The trimmings were particularly susceptible to contamination, but a study commissioned by the company showed that the ammonia process would kill E. coli as well as salmonella.

Officials at the United States Department of Agriculture endorsed the company’s ammonia treatment, and have said it destroys E. coli “to an undetectable level.” They decided it was so effective that in 2007, when the department began routine testing of meat used in hamburger sold to the general public, they exempted Beef Products.

With the U.S.D.A.’s stamp of approval, the company’s processed beef has become a mainstay in America’s hamburgers. McDonald’s, Burger King and other fast-food giants use it as a component in ground beef, as do grocery chains. The federal school lunch program used an estimated 5.5 million pounds of the processed beef last year alone.
So basically its in cooking oil, supermarket ground beef, and public school lunches. Why is McDonalds being thrown under the bus for using it?

It depends on how you look at it. Sure, it's a high production, widely distributed, "simple" beer, and in those regards, yes, it is kind of a German equivalent of Bud/Miller/Coors. But, unlike Bud/Miller/Coors, it's not an adjunct beer (at least the pilsner anyway, not sure about Bitburgers other brews) and still follows in the reinheitsgebot tradition. Probably also uses higher quality ingredients too.

Say what you want; I love the stuff, and I always have. I will never forget my first Big Mac. Don't get me wrong, I love fine cusine as much as anyone can, but fast food rocks as well, I love it! If you think about it; even the poorest people can now afford to eat meat because of it. I don't think my ancestors in Ireland could, at least more than once or twice a year.

Because if it said that no one would read the story or this thread?

I think you misunderstand me brother. I was talking about the making a beeline for fast food and beer the moment you are cleared to go ashore. Did that number many times myself. As for the tattoo part it's a whimsical play on a sea story that involves fast food, getting kicked out of a soju tent for being too drunk, a tattoo parlor and a few other things...

You too eh?

I look back at that night and think just how drunk was I? Kerist, I got thrown out of a Soju tent, a _freaking_ Soju tent, in a back alley no less. This is like one step above swilling out of a paper bag on the curb in front of a liquor store located on the wrong side of the tracks...

Oh, and that anti-gwailo warning system they have? Wasn't that just grand? The little old lady who threw us out, sticking her head out of the tent screaming at what seemed to be about the same volume as the ships steam whistle, and then every other damn tent in the city repeating it so no one would serve us anymore that night...

And then the day after... Ohhhh, what the hell is it that they put in Soju, formaldehyde? If not, it sure felt like it.

I look back at those days and wonder, just how much lower could we have sunk? LOL.
