>> Everything you say is true. The first time I had onion rings at A&W was in the early 70's. The rings were indeed an extruded product. I know that because I took several apart to understand what I was eating because that's just the kind of guy I am. I haven't been to an A&W in some 40 years or so. It doesn't surprise me that they've changed the product. I had some onion rings from Jack in the Box this evening and they were real and just awesome!
 
>Jack's is OK, most of the time. Its just that with many of these fast food places, you have to be careful to say "hot off the grill", that way you won't get food that's just been lying around. I like their tacos, too.
This is NOT my frogger.

I've had A&W onion rings at in a small town in Minnesota. They
certainly were not extruded.

LOL that was my point. I didn't mean to insult the fillet o fish
lovers, but the generic frozen fish sticks from the freezer that I had
as a child were even superior to those. I tried a box of them at Aldi
about 2 years ago to prove it, and I was correct.

That was some blast but we didn't have any noticable effects on this rock. The West coast of the mainland had some flooding. That's kind of strange but I'm not complaining.

Very true, it also depends on where you live. I make, at best, a bit
over half of the above number, and I can live comfortably here on that
without any luxury stuff.

I doubt the recent issue is as much as dying as people coming back to
the workforce post pandemic expecting more, and more folks taking early
retirement 'cause pandemic. I'm not an economic specialist, but I'd say
that printing trillions of dollars out of thin air = inflation.

You might be right. Primanti brothers is a famous sandwich shop here...
basically a step up from fast food -- and 2 steps up in price. They add
coleslaw and fries to every sandwich -- "Pittsburgh style".

My grandmother always made "pancake egg" sandwiches. Basically a
scrambled fried egg on bread, with mayonnaise. I usually preferred it
with ketchup. I think that actually does sound like a good lunch today!

Large food producers do not use a lot of capsaicin, because most United Statesians do not like a lot of capsaicin.
 
When I word for Monsanto in my Computer Engineer Cooping we had a bunch of us make Chicken Wings for a company thing we were having. And one batch of wings specifically said HOT and so some of us sampled them. Someone remarked how these wings were really hot, and me and Martina Chan simultaneously said "They are not that hot"! Because as I learned early on at Asian restaurants I order my food "Thai Hot" because I LOVE capsaicin!
