You're right, they should fry that into a potato pancake first.

Japanese potato salad is a distinct and wonderful thing (and ace for hangovers).

i will cop to wanting to try a mclychee fizz, though it sounds like the name of a one-legged prospector in an old western movie

iirc arby's uses them as a way to recycle substandard potatoes into a saleable product

iirc arby's roast beef is made from powder and gelatin

prosperity beef, mcdonald's u.s. should try that one, might deflect some of their labor troubles

Arby's really is the worst tasting chain food I think I have ever eaten

james franco tur(oll)ing test (Hurting 2), Friday, 7 March 2014 16:07 (ten years ago) link

to full appreciate arby's, you have to loudly order two "Big Montanas" and then look around the restaurant expecting everyone's approval.

since chinese new year, traditional fries have been unavailable at mcdonalds in favor of curly fries (at least when i left in february)
DYAO PLEASE CONFIRM

dylannn, Friday, 7 March 2014 16:21 (ten years ago) link

my lunch yesterday was 2 mcdonalds poutines. they replaced the back in the day plastic containers with a waxed cardboard box, which isn't an improvement.

I will not return to this thread until the people here stop slandering Arby's

tbf I was repeating an oft heard rumor about the rb being made of powder and gelatin. i heard similar stories about BK onion rings.

i ate at arby's this week. i was almost broke too, but i hadn't had any junk food in so long and had just gone to a mind-deadening meeting next to the arby's so i felt it was propitious.

but i ordered the wrong thing and wasted my opportunity. shoulda just got roast beef. : (

j., Friday, 7 March 2014 22:43 (ten years ago) link

dylaaaan how did you order that, did you just say, '2 poutines plz'

and did they react any, like, '2? 2?'

the american dream is a cruel joke, still no poutine

j., Friday, 7 March 2014 22:45 (ten years ago) link

My friend and I purchased an entire Arby's roast one summer. they sliced it up and gave it to us in tin foil. they then sold us the real deal arby's buns for something like 15c per. we ate arby's roast beef sandwiches like they were apples that summer.

Lychee McFizz sounds like someone's pr0n name. It probably tastes good though.

you cut them into slices and put peanut butter on them?? xp

j., Friday, 7 March 2014 22:51 (ten years ago) link

we ate the outsides and threw the centers in the compost

we planted an arby's and a franchise grew in his backyard

time was, you could buy yerself an entire arbys roast. now you kids have your pizza dogs and dorito tacos

that same summer, I saw an elephant ear stand parked near a 7-eleven burn to the ground. I didn't tweet about it.

龜's guide to eating at Arby's:

1. Skip the roast beef offerings and go straight to the chicken fingers

2. Ask for the honey mustard

3. Get that shit with curly fries

4. With your drink cup, take it to the soda fountain and fill it with unsweetened ice tea (virtually unheard of at other restaurants)

5. Avail yourself of the sauce bar (the best in the business.) Horsey sauce arby's sauce, ketchup, notice how it's take-as-much-as-you-want and not gingerly parceled out to you one foil packet at a time. Feel grateful

I got a chicken finger that was virtually uncooked one time and the staff was so blasé about it that I have been loathe to return

have a nice blood (mh), Friday, 7 March 2014 23:03 (ten years ago) link

that can happen. the fryer has a timer. you drop the chicken and press the timer. you shouldn't have to check it. but I saw this happen at DQ once as well.

xpost the best sauce that Arby's has is the red sauce on the beef n' cheddar. they do not offer this sauce at the bar.

龜, what is your take on the arby's turnover situation

POO: the blossom or full flower of the evening (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 7 March 2014 23:09 (ten years ago) link

Man I never fucked with that

Nah man. I don't really got a sweet tooth

Last time I had a chain food dessert invention was the bacon sundae upthread

龜, if you are a chicken fingers aficianado and ever find yourself in the deep south and see a Zaxby's, you owe it to yourself to stop in for a five-piece, seriously.

Actually, Hardee's has surprisingly good chicken fingers now, too.

Is there a name for the thing they do in the south where you get some chicken strips, fries, TOAST and cole slaw? And it's like the best shit ever?

to full appreciate arby's, you have to loudly order two "Big Montanas" and then look around the restaurant expecting everyone's approval.

^^^ this is someone who has definitely been in an Arby's. Arby's here is a homeless/tweaker hangout these days so I don't go.
