What IS it about fast food resturants?
I went through the BK drivethrough on the way home from work tonight, and instead of fries with my greasy value meal I ask for onion rings. Np.
When I get to the window, pay, get my drink, and the girl is handing me out the sack with the food..... she asks mi if i'd like any onion ring sauce.
I, of course, immediately start to giggle....
"What? What is onionring sauce?", I ask.
Apparently is it some form of sauce with mild horseradish or something....
But seriously.... onionring sauce?

I've always liked a light splash of white vinegar and a dab of Tabasco on mine. Most people, as far as I know, just use ketchup. Never tried horseradish on onion rings, but I like it with pot roast.
At least it was not some variation on that honey/mustard foulness.

I don't know how you Americans live with those greasy meals.
The only time I went to Burger King (we didn't have it until a couple months ago), I felt so incredibly sick it was not even funny. |

I hear ya!
If I want a burger, I grind my own. I have to be pretty desperate to eat at the FF joints, and then it's usually just a chicken breast at Bojangle's or Popeye's. IMO, they're the best of a bad lot.
If I feel the need for grease, there's a lot of good barbeque joints around here, and I'm pretty good at it myself, but a little goes a long way.

Onion ring sauce? As a foodie, I can see that certain flavors would enhance onions better than others. But it does sound silly coming from Burger King.
After reading Fast Food Nation and seeing Super Size Me, I'm convinced that fast food is very, very bad health-wise. And taste-wise, I've hated it since my college days. McDonald's salads even taste weird and off to me...dunno what they put on 'em but they taste chemical-y and overly salted.

I don't mind the chem that much, neither do I mind the fattening factor, as I hardly eat those things. McDonalds is fairly decent to me, though most of time I just eat their ice creams  It isn't nearly as greasy as Burger King (at least, not here).
When I want burger, I (or rather, my adorable mother) either grinds & makes it herself, or buys chicken burgers packs, that I eat with home-made sauce. Much yummer. |

The "sauce" is the same dipping sauce steakhouses like Outback or Lonestar serve with their "blooming onion," essentially one large batter-dipped and fried onion. The first fast food joint I saw serve the sauce was Arby's with their "onion petals," battered bite-sized onion chunks. Burger King just seems to be trying to keep up with the trend, even if their O-rings are breaded and not battered.
