EU full of Picky Eaters

This is simply payback for the American restaurants changing French fries to Freedom fries.


That should have been obvious since page one.

ACK!

Ralphie-poo. You stated American food was all crap and I simply pointed out how your own people spent vaste quantities of money upon it. Never did I claim McDonald's was quality; I simply stated that the market found it useful and demanded it.

Also I am not a Philistine so please don't call me one. I am actually a fairly decerning eater but I deteste snobby people. I enjoy showing them their own inferiority so that they will cease their snobby pretentions.

Nah, they had to change, since the French won an lawsuit and ended this label infringement.

Either you contradict yourself in a previous post (23:50), or you acknowledge that the Mogolian beef can be a true Mongolian beef in Chinese and Korean restaurants, and an american beef in a Mongolian restaurant. Whatever I am lost, and I presume that all consumers (but you perhaps ... sometimes ...) are lost as well.

The AOC are exactly trying to prevent the customer to be lost.

First time I've heard of the French winning........anything.

This is just as stupid seriously, why not simply allow those original makers, Parma ham, and such, simply be the only ones able to add "genuine" to their label?

ACK!

No. I said that McDonalds has a bigger business volume than Kempinski and implied, that quantity is not the same as quality. You then tried to contradict me with exactly my statement.

Reading seems to be not your strong side.

I'm afraid I don't quite follow you my friend. My point has, and will continue to be, that "Mongolian beef", and other food items with a region attached to it's name, are simply recipes for preparing food and not an brand advertising where the food was from.

You're the first one to claim so. Besides I find it ammusing coming from someone who claimed I brought up McDonald's first. just looking over the thread shows that you did. Apparently, I am not the one with the reading comprehension problem.

I eat beef filet (or filet mignon or whatever the English name is) with artichokes and corn cobs more often than I eat McDonalds. You can have your little dispute over the names, I enjoy life in any case...

[DinoDoc]

The fact that people are actually defending this amuses me greatly. I eagerly await the German & Italian attempt to take the Hamburger and Pizza from us.

Filet Mignon is good but it has the lowest fat content of any beef. I like round top or robeye because it has a fatter content thus lending a fuller taste.

Wrong. The first were Asmodean and Japher. Your reading problem persists.

EDIT: By the way, I didn't say you brought it up first. I said you keep to bring it up. Reading, reading... train it, it's useful.

Oerdin, I cannot convince you that a product like the parma ham cannot be prepared anywhere else than Parma without becoming another product (it is not prepared by cooking). Therefore I can only suggest that next time you visit Italy you spend a day in Parma and look on the way the parma ham is prepared.

[Chemical Ollie]

Is round top or robeye the same meat as entrecote? I eat that quite often too. Every week or two.

Neither of them would have the right to do so. Not the German Hamburg was the origin of the Hamburger, and Pizza is just the name of the product; it would be different if you called it Italian pizza.
