Two All Potato Patties, Special Sauce....

When Snickers was alive, Linda used to walk him to the McDonald's at least once a week for his special cheeseburger or nuggets treat.  He loved it so much.  She would say "Snicks, want to go to Micky D's?" and he would be ecstatic. It's only a mile walk, but he would pull ahead of her leading the way at twice his normal walk speed.  She would give the money to the first honest person she saw to buy his food.  (Even though he would have done fine being tied up outside, she would never take the chance of leaving him.)  They sat in the outside picnic area and she would feed him little bites until it was gone.  MD's isn't vegetarian friendly at all, so never got anything. 

McDonald's is back in the news.  Not for the pink slime in the nuggets or beef oil used in the fries. They are opening the very first all vegetarian restaurant!!  Unfortunately, it's in India so Linda won't be trying it, but she is hoping it will be introduced in the States someday.  All the sandwiches will be meat free, like the McAloo Tikki....a burger made with a spicy breaded potato patty, red onions, tomatoes and a special vegetable sauce. You can also order a  McVeggie, using a patty of carrots, peas and potatoes, and the McSpicy Paneer filled with Indian cheese.  Subway and Pizza Hut also have all vegetarian restaurants in India.  Some Indians are mad about the McDonald's opening since it is an organization that makes its money over slaughtering their holy cows.  (What in the world is holy about a cow?  I guess that's where the saying holy cow comes from)
