Members chrisash Posted March 4, 2022 Members Report Posted March 4, 2022 We should all stop buying from McDonalds as they are one of the few western countries to value keeping their shops open in Russia rather than supporting Ukraine in their fight for freedom. most other companies have pulled out of Russia Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
Contributing Member fredk Posted March 4, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted March 4, 2022 McDonalds are actually franchises owned by the local business person. McD supplies, sets guide prices and runs the advertising campaign but actually has no real input in that local, unlike a hop such as Tesco or ASDA Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Contributing Member fredk Posted March 7, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted March 7, 2022 I apologise. I just learnt this evening that McDonalds has about 850 places in Russia and that McD owns the majority of them. How many the report did not say. Anyway, I've not had anything from a McD for about 2 years. The only thing I did get regularly was either a Hot chocolate drink or a Cappuccino coffee, so boycotting them is easy for me Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

I have spent most of my life eating wild meats, game birds and fish, veggies from my garden and some really awesome foraged plants , berries and such. We make most of our food daily. One of my favorites is a French dip sandwich made with Elk roast, fresh bread & au jus. With a nice glass of home made Service berry or Chokecherry wine. As soon a spring rolls around our shopping starts with a garden, foraging and fishing to get the freezer filled up again. Something i find amazing in the US is the "health food" market read the labels on some of that crap once in a while, all the same chemicals, bad oils and sugar as regular crap food we get.

LOL it would seem so but no actually working for 30 years in a prison did that. here's a smiley face for ya friend LOL even though you wanted to line me and shoot me one time. Sure pissed you off that day i'll admit lol. Getting away from people and enjoying the fruits of the earth, smelling fresh mountain air and drinking fresh spring water probably helped a bit IMO at least it kept me semi sane. ever do anything like that? Have you ever listened to the sunrise out in the woods? at the crack of dawn every living thing goes quiet for a few minutes all you can hear is pure quietness, your senses come alive and you can smell the dew, the plants the dirt, feel the brisk morning air. Then just like magic the birds ,elk, cattle, even the fish start jumping again and seem to come back to life. Its an amazing thing friend.

Used to go fishing a lot mainly for that reason. Had to break the ice a few times in the winter. Didn't matter if I didn't catch anything but you'd never catch me fishing from a concrete pier. My Granddad was French Canadian. Probably why I've always had a hankering for lakes /rivers/ forests and snow capped mountains. Couldn't pay me to go lay on a beach in the Med for two weeks. Quote

Then some FOO FOO french chief introduced them as a delicacy on the food channel or bourbon street and all of a sudden they were the next hot thing to eat, I still use them as catfish bait.

We have something that looks very similar. ' Yabbies' ( theres Jilgies & ' Koonacs' ) . The only differences were the claws at the front. Jilgies were a childhood fave in the creeks etc. *jilgies ,( pronounced Joogies ) Looks so damn tasty , and the corn ....etc I envy that Chuck . **break out the violins** I used to go bush quite a bit in the early days, catching food etc. . But working 7 days a week and, these days, looking after 2 elderly parents soon put a stop to that . But I do know how to do a nice BBQ roast, one saving grace But it made me laugh when I saw people in the bush take absolutely everything ...including the proverbial ' kitchen sink', like they were moving house . To me , thats not 'getting away from it all'...thats taking it with you. I traveled light, I only took what I needed, just the very bare essentials . 3 hours ago, Frodo said: Bacon steaks Bacon steaks ??? Holy crap, they look so good.

Perhaps the mods could start a food/recipe section , us leather workers work up quite an appetite and we gotta eat. I tried looking for bacon steaks here in Oz......no chance . I'll keep looking . The trout does look good though eh. Just needs a bit of fresh lemon juice. So thats what Chuck really looks like??
