So, my guess it that McDonald's special sauce was a their take on coleslaw? Because that is basically a coleslaw dressing recipe with 1000 Island dressing...Were Americans putting coleslaw on hamburgers back then? I know they were probably putting it on pulled pork...I'm just wondering if it was totally a Mcdonald's invention or they were just copying an already used practice..

It's hard to say, since coleslaw has so many different recipes. McD's Big Mac Sauce doesn't taste like the slaw I've had on a Carolina pulled pork sandwiches. But, I haven't had a Big Mac in a long time.

After yesterdays disaster lunch at the plastic burger emporium I opted today for something closer to my tastes.

Korean Chicken gyoza and chilli pops with a mixed salad and poke dressing.

I have to confess that serving mashed potatoes (carbs) with pasta (also carbs) isn't something I'm familiar with!

Very, very common here.

I got served lasagne with chips/fries in a UK hospital.. I was quite surprised

That’s why the UK (or Ireland) is my favorite place to get lasagna!

Yup. Slawburgers are a regional specialty in the Midwest and South. I’ve posted a couple on here.

Had a hankering for baked ziti and a need for easy leftovers to zap throughout the week while the kitchen is in another project phase.

So all this

This is my theory about McDonald’s special sauce. It was a take off of that. But, I could be wrong. According to Winona I am a lot.

What about a chip butty?

Dinner was chicken skewers with bulgur wheat and a green sauce

Good old easy Buffalo wings tonight. I coated them in AP flour this time. It doesn't change the flavor, but the wings were more moist than usual, and they are the exact same wings I've been using -- even from the same big package. I bought a 6 pound package of wings from COSTCO a while back, and the only thing I did different on this batch was flour them. Seems strange that it would make them retain moisture better, but they definitely were more moist. Maybe the flour formed a shell that held in moisture.

Bought in ham and mushroom pizza with added pepperoni, additional mushrooms, chopped fresh red chopped chillis and dried oregano flakes.

Did you bake or fry the wings?
