Re: Fries from McDonald
 

how about the YEAST in the bread??????

DOH!!!!!!!

Re: Fries from McDonald
 

What??

All the yeast does is fart in the bread and make it rise. It uses water too if that's what you're asking.

Re: Fries from McDonald
 

My guess would be that the frying of the fries really helped them to stay like that. The bread and fresh ingredients are what really fucked those other sandwiches.

who said yeast? The yeast dies when the bread is baked.

Whoa, hold on. So McD fries are made from fake potatoes?

Re: Fries from McDonlad
 

No, they're made from a genetically enhanced hybrid plant engineered by NASA rocket scientists for growing potatoes on the moon. I bet it's just because of how thin they are, I'd like to see an experiment comparing them to "fast food" style fries you can buy at grocery stores.

Re: Fries from McDonald
 

Well, looks like you never paid attention to grandma's baking :)

Yeast is a fungi, mold.

Moldy bread, now I wonder :)

Re: Fries from McDonald
 

I don't understand what you're getting at? I never said yeast wasn't fungi/mold.

BTW, the mold that effects bread isn't the yeast, it's usually green mold (trichoderma). Yeast is killed during baking, which is when carbon dioxide is released to "inflate" the bread. Yeast isn't the cause, free-floating mold spores are.

I used to grow fungus, I know a bit about it and the evil mold that would at times ruin my crop even after pressure cooking @15psi for over 90 minutes. It's a sneaky organism.

i have a friend that is deadly allergic to chicken, yet he can eat a 20 pc mcnugget and be fine

Re: Fries from McDonald
 

The bread is inflated by the yeast eating and expelling gas, not their death. That is really a moot point though. The Yeast die during the baking like u said.
