Random question I thought of the other night while waiting in line at mcdonalds.
Why are all fish patties square while all chicken patties are circle?
Ahhh, you have stumbled upon one of life's great mysteries. Perhaps together, we can solve this.
>>7591330
So they can tell which one is which
>>7591330
Here's a tip, perhaps you and some genius can work the rest out:
> chicken patties are made with minced chicken meat and can be formed in any shape without loss.
> fish patties are not ...
Good luck.
>>7591341
You really think that isn't minced fish that's been formed into flaked patties?
>>7591425
Well yeah I work at a frozen fish packaging factory, I would know.
>>7591330
they is made from bigfuckingblocksoffish (tm) which are easier to slice into squares.
This informative video on fish finger production should give you some insight

There's no such thing as a "flaked patty". If it's flaky it's cut from a larger fillet of fish. If it's reconstituted then it won't have flakes.
Because they don't cut corners.
Yuk yuk.
>>7591330
Is that cheese at the base? British fillets don't have that, just the tartare
>>7593964
they've always had cheese here
>>7591335
>that gif
I would like to know what product solves this problem

An Egg Cracker of course!

Better question is why is it the only "good" burger at micky d's? Its a combo of the steamed bun and sauce i think. Shame its so fucking expensive and small, its actually really good.
>>7591330
Real talk, is filet o fish good? I like the McChicken, but I haven't taken the plunge on the fish. If I recall correctly, it's significantly more expensive, but is it worth it?
>>7594283
when i had it, it tasted like air
>>7594283
IIRC it pretty much only exists to keep the papist cult members happy.
>>7594243
Tell me it is a fake product. Please.
>>7594339
Papist = of the pope. The cult he means is Catholics. Do you know if the Aus version is much different?
>>7594325
This is my issue with (for-the-home, gimmicky) unitaskers in a broader context. Personally I don't like buying them because it takes space and money, and I don't find them necessary. My trouble with their even existing is that they sort of attempt to codify retardation.
>>7594304
Unfortunate, because this is what I basically expected.
>>7594262
Big Mac and Quarter Pounder are both just as good or better. None of the three are actually good though
>>7594265
most infomercial stuff is designed for old people actually
i usually order like 12 mcdoubles to split with my 2 roommates when i go to mcdicks
they're cheap and probably the most food for the value menu
>>7591335
This is clearly shitty execution on purpose, but I will say my mind was blown when I realized that it's better to crack an egg on a flat surface than on the edge of something
le squished fish patty on a bun man
>>7594348
ive had a fillet of fish in japan and australia, theyre relatively the same. Most of the time theyre in pristine condition (in australia) and not squashed in like a lot of the mcburgers i see in the states
>>7594353
i say it because the bigmac, while alright leaves you dissapointed, its so freaking small. Its also more that i have a problem with mcdonalds beef patties, theyre god awful
>>7594243
DUDE BADASS! ONLY $5.20! THANK YOU!
>>7594415
american mcdonalds is kind of gross
i'm canadian and when i went down to illinois, i found their mcnuggets to be pretty gross in comparison to the canadian ones, and that the buns are very crumbly in comparison
i also got sick from wendys one time down there so maybe america's fast food game is just weak
>>7591626
still doesnt explain why fish is squared
>>7594460
have you ever seen a circular fish?

>>7594447
Are you some kind of faggot yelp reviewer?
Canadians are the worst form of subhuman.
>>7594550
>>7594565
sorry your burgers are fucking disgusting and subpar
eat shit and die. well, you already do the first part.
>>7591330
The fish themselves are square. Mexicans are lazy so they just ship the fish still square
>>7594576
They are working on the second part too.

eugh
care to just summarize it so i don't have to watch that pretentious cock?
>>7594652
No, the topic is described below the video. Watch it for 5 min and if can't look past behind the person Jamie Oliver then you're out of luck.
I highly recommend it though.
fish fucking sucks either way. the mcdonalds around my way never really sell their fish sandwiches because nobody buys them. people often beg to bring back the rib wich instead
>>7591341
So you honestly think these are skillfully carved by a fishmonger and not cobbled together from what's left on the floor of the boat? And for under $4? Faggot.
>>7594742
>floor of the boat
Stay in school, lad
>>7594283
Well, it's sugar, grease, mayo, salt, fluff (the steamed bun). Not worth the money.
>>7591330
Fish dogs are the superior fish sandwich
>>7594565
As a Canadian, I'd like to apologize and say that the fellow "Canadian" may be subhuman and we do not wish for said subhuman to be in our country, but we don't want to dump em' down to you guys or ship em' off to Mexico, so we just politely kept them in our border and grudgingly accept them.
We are truly sorry for those people, and it's our sincere wish that Hitler would've just gassed the lot of us to keep the retardation off this planet.
Sorry.
>>7594751
But is it tasty?
I eat home-cooked, fairly healthy meals all the time. Sometimes a little shitty grease is appealing.
>>7594780
It's OK but there are better places, even fast food places to get a fried fish sandwich. Go to Carl's Jr (Hardee's?) Or Wendy's if you must. At least their buns don't melt into a gummy mess when you eat them.

>>7594243
are americans seriously so retarded/useles, that they need a fucking device, to crack open a stupid egg!?
>>7591941
kek
>>7591330
Those particular geometry ordinances keep Ronald McDonald's frightful enchantments at bay. Besour not the circles and squares, lest ye awaken the wrath of the clown.
>>7594887
No, those products are just for people retarded/useless enough to actually buy them. Everyone in America thinks that those infomercial products are god damn stupid.
>>7594907
...fucking capitalism
>>7594911
In a free market, there will always be someone there to prey on stupid people.
>>7594069
where is "here"?
>>7594887
to be fair they're super useful for old people
most infomercial shit is honestly aimed at an older demographic
Maccies worker here
From what I can gather it just makes it easier to differentiate the fish fillets from the chicken fillets
>>7595725
Aside this being a incredibly sad reason if it is indeed the true reason, don't you use different deep fryers for chicken and fish?
>>7595725
when did you start putting only a half slice cheese on the mcfish?
