new year fast food diets start early

[Omobono]

Any one know what has happened at Mc Donalds on Peel road  , in darkness for the past 2 days  no cars in the drive in lane   someone said they heard they had run out of meat for the burgers  and other foodstuffs , this Steam packet  caper must be costing business a fortune if its correct  , M and S the same the last 2 days empty shelves  the food hall  looked like a closing down sale   anyone on the forums know whats going on  or is Manx meat not good enough for Mc Donalds?

Pretty sure McDonalds don’t make the burgers here. Just run out of produce , frozen burgers and fry’s and the rest.

People are gathering on south quay and battery pier with banners and flags to welcome the boat arriving later. Heard there was going to be a marching band, and free mince pies.

As long as it doesn't rain, or is too windy I hear.

State of emergency has already been declared. Alf will hold a press briefing in the morning addressing the GDP shortfall the unexpected closure will have.

Is Manx meat not good enough?  Is this a joke?

Are you asking why one of the biggest food outlets in the world don’t tailor their recipe and entire business model and use Manx meat in their burgers?

[Albert Tatlock]

The usual rules on franchises means the franchisor supplies his stuff to sell to the franchisee. Franchisor processing and cooking/serving rules means the food will taste the same wherever it is sold.

McDonald's burgers would probably be twice as expensive if they bought Manx meat, probably three times if they had to introduce processing here.

It would be too difficult to make quality Manx meat into the chemical shit storm that is a Macdonald's burger.

They used to use Manx meat, and did for years

Really?  Any source for that?

Even if they did, I doubt it would make any difference in this instance?  They might have agreed to ship some to one of their factories but they won’t have been making burgers locally.

What’s that then?  A McDs burger likely has less crap in it than most of what you buy locally.

Was a condition of planning application 97/00697/B. 
 

Meat shipped to UK, processed and shipped back

Fair enough.  Do we know if it still happens?

Doesn't really alter the point I was making though in response to an insinuation that if they made burgers here with local meat there wouldn’t be an issue today.
