Fried pies


If you can find the flip side of this poem you will win a prize :).

Dried Apple Pies I loathe, abhor, detest, despise,
Abominate dried-apple pies.
I like good bread, I like good meat
Or anything that's fit to eat;
But of all poor grub beneath the skies,
The poorest is dried apple pies.
Give me the toothache, or sore eyes,
But don't give me dried apple pies.
The farmer takes his gnarliest fruit
'Tis wormy, bitter, and hard, to boot;
He leaves the hulls to make us cough,
And don't take half the peeling off.
Then on a dirty cord 'tis strung
And in a garret window hung,
And there it serves as roost for flies,
Until it's made up into pies.
Tread on my corns, or tell me lies,
But don't pass me dried-apple pies.

I'm not talking about McDonald's fried pies. Yes, they used to be fried. McDonald's was my first ever job, and I fried a few pies.
 
You steam a good ham.
 
We knew you didn't mean those Cassie.
 
Well I did, and I assumed most people did.

So yes.
 
I don't think Cassie is old enough to remember McDonalds fried pies to say nothing of having fried a few herself as McDonalds stopped frying the pies about 30 years ago (I"m 45 y.o. m'self).
 
I am 42, they still fried the pies when I was 16 and they were still frying them when I quit at 18. They also had delicious McNuggets, and the burgers were pretty decent back then too. ALSO, I made fucking buttermilk biscuits every morning HUNDREDS OF BISCUITS :rwmad: AND I made thousands of salads, the salads were introduced about a year after I started working at McDonald's, I hated making them, HATED. PLUS remember the McDLT? Yeah we had those, they were a pain in the buttocks. We started using a small two burger clam shell grill while I was working there, on top of the flattop grill, now I think they cook all their burgers with a clam shell and a MICROWAVE. ALSO I went to crew classes and became the crew chief. I should have continued working for McDonald's, maybe I'd own one by now.

The pies were definitely fried, that's why they were taken off the menu. They still sell apple pies but they're baked now.

Taco Bell still sells them. Filled with apples and caramel.
 
ALSO, McDonald's stopped frying their pies much more recently than 30yrs ago. More like in the last 10yrs.
 
I have eaten deep fried Mars Bar and Deep fried frozen pizza (in batter)

Both were surprisingly tasty, but not very moreish.

I had one once (I got one free when the cashier girl learned it was my birthday), it was not good and I did not finish it.
 
AFAIK, McDonald's still fry their pies here in Oz.
 
Aren't the hostess pies all fried??

Recognize the goofy asshole in the square knit tie?
 
Remeber when Hostess (or was it Drake's?) used to advertise in Marvel comics? It'd be a couple of panels of the Hulk or the Spider-Man battling some villain and then he'd feed them Hostess pies? I fucking hated those things, because I'm dumb and always thought they were part of the overall story and I could never fit them into the storyline.

I doubt it's a microwave, but they do keep all the proteins in warming drawers after they're made. But the contraption keeps things moist so it must be some other kind of non-nuke device.

Mc Nuggets are crack, plain and simple. And I haven't gotten that junk completely out of my veins yet. DAMN YOU SMILING CLOWN MAN.

That was one of the things that shocked me when I first started getting american comics, three pages of action with two pages of adverts.

Did anyone ever buy any of those x ray specs, or 1000 super strong magnets, or the Charles Atlas body building course?
