    Nothing wrong with eating pig intestine. When I ate meat sausage was a fave. I'm sure your intestine are nice n clean.

    After watching some slaughterhouse videos I can say with confidence that sanitation isn't high priority when it comes to supplying large conglomerate like McE D's.

    I'd like some extra s**t wit me ribs pweese.

    Custom bathroom design and construction, mosaic design. Artsy stuff with a mix of elbow grease. Was headed for culinary school in my young 20's but took the money saved up for school and traveled for a year.

    Well, the problem with the article is that it lacks factual data. A well written piece would have listed the official ingredients then talked about each. If they suspected something else then they should have provided lab data to back that up. That came across as heresy like when groups said mcds used pinkslime recently but it was found to be untrue.

    I think you have been misled on the origin of natural casings.

    "Natural sausage casings (“casings”) are made from the sub-mucosa, a layer of the intestine that consists mainly of naturally occurring collagen. This should not be confused with collagen casings, which are artificially processed from collagen derived from the skins of cattle. Natural casings are derived from the intestinal tract of farmed animals, are edible and bear a close resemblance to the original intestine after processing. The outer fat and the inner mucosa lining are removed during processing."

    You are not eating anything that touched poop. The casing is just the middle layer of the 3 layer intestinal tissue.

    Here's a list straight from the pigs mouth er um a**hole.
    http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/getnutrition/ingredientslist.pdf

    If your conserned I guess you could look up the ingrediants yourself.
    Remember when they list 'pork' as an ingrediant, it can be any part of the animal.

    Not baggin on your question of the article, just eatin lunch at work, and pulled that up on my iPhone.

    That's good to know I was t eating s**t all them years.

    But I suspect McRibites are.

    When I used to cook in restaurants, the Italian owners of one would ask me to make them tripe. Ugh. I wouldn't even taste it. Them ginnies loved it. Eew.

    the fancier the restaurant the dirtier the kitchen, I've seen. There was an expensive place at 1st St called The Lighthouse. The chef would pour boxes of salt on the floor to keep from sliding around. My li'l wifey makes my lunch, and there only a few places I eat dinner. the cleanest place in the 757 is Doumars in Norfolk, opened in the early 1900s. Evidently the health dept mandated removing equipment and washing down the kitchen once a week. they still do it every Sunday, plus all the equipment.

    DAMNIT! Could you of posted this like about around 10am. I eat fast food maybe once a year.... but running around for work this morning and stopped by... WENDYS! Subway next to one life off Princess Anne was slammed so settled for Wendys.


    I also worked off and on in the restaurant industry since a teenager from waiter, bar back, bartender, a few times of filling in for a line cook, and multiple times as a bar manager. There is some NASTY crap out there! Old meat and veggies that one can't identify sitting uncovered in the walk-in with other "fresh" ingredients..... just a science project waiting to create the next super virus.

    Thanks Cheech... little late. If I die tonight I don't blame you though cause who ever trusts a restaurant where their covergirl is a ginger ;)

    Jay Leno did a spoof tonight on the Golden Corral health inspection and the "dumpster meat".
    Also the story about Justin Bieber peeing in a mop bucket in a restaurant kitchen. At Golden Corral, they call that "soup".

    There are plenty of fine dining places here with very clean kitchens. It is key to meet the chef/line cooks and know their attitude and work ethic.

    you pretty much get an idea when you got to lay on the floor or move equipment around. I quit eating Chinese 20 years ago when I started doing this crap. My wife will suggest a place she thinks is safe because,"they cook it in front of you." yeah but you don't see how it's stored. Evidently one doesn't have to refrigerate duck. I'd see them hanging in closets.

    What makes you think the food you buy at a grocery store has been handled properly? Really the only way to be 100% sure is to raise your meat and grow your vegetables yourself.

    at a grocery, you have an opportunity to inspect the product in a raw state. I restaurants there's plenty of schlort they can apply to get the stank and discoloration out. But, you are right about being vigilant. I did supermarket work for Belo (standards) Supermarket. They sold a brand of chicken that the mfr said had a 3 day shelf life. the butcher would rewrap it with belo sticker for another week, then, if it still wasn't sold, would fry it and put it in the deli. MMMMMMMMMMMM MMM!

    In the back of my head, I always knew this was probably true but I can only imagine what you've seen. Not looking forward to the next time wifey asks which chinese place should we order from tonight. Make me a sammich!

    My wife won't even bother asking me if we can get Chinese food anymore after I almost choked on a rubber band that was in my food, and then after that story broke about that Chinese restaurant that was caught dragging road kill in the back with trashcans, that patrons witnessed. Blood streak behind the trash can as it slides across the floor, man mopping up behind them.... can you picture it?

    Such a damn good episode. I'm pleased there are more than a few Simpsons savants on SI.
