Picked up Nathan’s frozen OR on a whim. Too much breading, not much onion flavor. Meh.
The ones that turn out the crispiest for me are Alexia panko coated. They aren’t perfect, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I used to like the Ore-Ida onion rings, but they seem to have been discontinued. I’ve been getting the Happy Belly frozen ones from Amazon Fresh and they’ve been pretty good.
Agree, that’s my standard at-home ring. Not nearly as good as a local pubby spot, but pretty good for at home.

Whole battered and fried onion rings if you pinch them on one side and thus fold them in half can easily be dunked into whatever you dunk them in (ranch dressing for me) and they don’t seem to come apart. Well, that’s the way I learned to demolish them.

I will remember that next time. Makes sense. I do fold my White Castle rings and dunk them in ketchup. Hmm ranch sounds like a great alternative.

I love onion rings dipped in FRY sauce, which is ketchup & Mayo mixed together. Delicious.

It is addictive, tho.
I can imagine. I love ranch dressing. Great on buffalo wings too, but of course my favorite is blue cheese. I also put chunky blue cheese dressing on bbq sauced wings. It works. I tried it years back and loved it. Have to experiment or you never know.

The roomate eats chunky blue cheese salad dressing on his red pasta sauces. He taught this to his son who has passed this wisdom on to his 4 kiddos.

The law case in Canada, in British Columbia, that had to do with McDonald’s stopping the use of tallow, involved the fact this beef tallow was not disclosed. Observant Hindus do not eat beef. I believe some observant Hindus had been under the impression the fries were not fried in oil that contained beef tallow, if I remember right. McDonald’s had been using vegetable oil mixed with beef tallow in Canada. Now McDonalds uses 100 percent vegetable oil, which makes the fried suitable for people who are vegetarian, vegan, observant Hindu or allergic to beef. Some people become allergic to beef after a tick bite, so it makes sense for McDonald’s to offer fries as something people who can’t eat beef can buy and eat.
It had nothing to do with your toxic man made oil argument.

In Canada, I sometimes get onion rings at Harvey’s or at A&W.

I remember this. It was, indeed, the non-disclosure that was relevant.

So better to alienate the majority? Why not have a choice? Maybe we should remove all road signs, books, TV and computer screens because some people are blind. Sorry but I don’t think that way. Anyone who does not want beef can create their own products or buy from another establishment. Simple as being a kid, if your peers don’t want you in their clubhouse, then open your own. Freedom means everyone has choices. I don’t like Sushi, but do I want it banned? Absolutely not.
Wow.
How do you feel about peanut butter in the classroom when some kids in the classroom have peanut allergies?
I’m sure you can find some restaurant that has a smaller client base than McDs that will fry you some beef tallow fries.
I know where I can get duck fat fries if I want any. I couldn’t care less about beef tallow fries.

I truly wish there were a laugh emoji available as a reaction to this comment. The knife and fork just don’t seem to… cut it?

Exactly who was alienated by McD’s eschewing beef tallow? Other than beef tallow suppliers, I mean.

I haven’t been to any fast food places except Dairy Queen in forever, but I think their fries and onion rings are both very good.
