McDonald’s drops use of ‘pink slime’ in U.S. meat
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver can claim one more victory in his food revolution after McDonald’s stopped using what he called “pink slime” in its burgers.
On Thursday, McDonald’s USA announced it was discontinuing the use of ammonium hydroxide in its beef.
The Naked Chef had publicly denounced the use of the additive on his show, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. He questioned how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration could allow the compound to be used in foods.
Ammonium hydroxide is made of water and ammonia and is used to kill bacteria. Typically it is used in household cleaning products.
On one episode of his show, Mr. Oliver said that beef producers take beef “trimmings” that would normally go to dog food and wash it with the compound until it is fit for human consumption.
“Imagine how happy an accountant is, you just turned dog food into what can potentially be your kids’ food,” he said on the episode. (Photo: Jean Levac/Postmedia News files)
It’s a new year in China (the year of the dragon to be exact) and with each new year comes the prosperity burger from McDonalds! What? You’ve never heard of the prosperity burger?

Japadog! Japanese hot dogs! Apparently it’s a Canadian based chain that just opened a location in New York City. The menu is a thing of beauty:
They were out of the one with bonito flakes at the time, but the one i got was pretty damn good.

Chimay is everywhere in Amsterdam. Delicious.
Chimay is an authentic Trappist beer. That means that it is brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery under the control and responsibility of the community of monks, and whose revenue is devoted to social service.
The “Authentic Trappist Product” logo is granted by the International Trappist Association.
It guarantees the consumer the Trappist origin of the products according to well-established principles:
- They are manufactured on-site or in close proximity to the monastery.
- The monastic community is engaged in management and all aspects of the means necessary for their operation. This must clearly reflect both the unquestionably subordinate relationship with the beneficiary monastery and the relationship with the culture of the enterprise itself in the plan of monastic life.
- The income provides for the major portion of the necessities of the community and for social services.
My first Chimay, have you had this?
“First, observe the whole bowl. Appreciate its gestalt. Savor the aromas. Jewels of fat glittering on the surface…”
andreainspired: Tampopo (1985, Juzo Itami)
“First, caress the surface with the chopstick tips. To express affection. Then, poke the pork. Just touch it. Caress it with the chopstick tips. Gently pick it up, and dip it into the soup on the right of the bowl. What’s important here is to apologize to the pork by saying, ‘See you soon.’”
