McDonald's used to fry fries in beef tallow, but caved to the settled health science of the day in 1983.

Here's the recipe to fry your own. https://grannysvitalvittles.com/stovetop-beef-tallow-french-...

I don't know why that site thinks it happened in 1983, but McDonalds stopped using beef tallow for fries in 1990 (in the US) because a really rich guy decided they should and was willing to put millions of dollars into making that happen.

Yep, we tell people that all the time.

We do our fries like McDonalds did in the fifties.

Checkout Malcolm Gladwells podcast regarding how MickieDees abandoned the beef fat.
