It seems strange to read something that says that they used lard but then added "beef flavoring" to their french fries.

They used tallow, not lard. Beef fat, not pig fat.

And there are still a lot of people that preferred the flavor of McDonald's fries before they ditched the tallow.

(Damn. That reminds me. The weather's turned cool here, so it's time to get to purify all the tallow that's accumulated since last February so I can make soap. Argh.)
