McDonald's Ramyeon McShaker Fries Are Shockingly Delicious

I enjoy McDonald's fries. When hot and fresh, it is a side item that hits the spot. I would've doubted there was much you could add to McD's fries but having sampled the promotional Ramyeon seasoning, I have to admit it is absurdly yummy. This seasoning is part of a cross-promotion with, "KPop Demon Hunters," which involves some new sauces for nuggets (they're okay), a berry McFlurry, a spicy sausage McMuffin at breakfast time, and the Ramyeon seasoning you are supposed to mix the fries with in a bag you shake. I, personally, just pour the seasoning out and dip my fries in it for optimal enjoyment. 

On McDonald's official site, the Ramyeon flavoring is described as, "savory soy, garlic, toasted sesame and spices all blended together—creating a max umami remix for the fries you know and love." I'd say it tastes like dipping your fries in a Ramen noodle flavor packet, but in a good way. Others have posted online about how much they enjoy the seasoning, and if anyone has advice on where to find a generic iteration for when this promotion ends. I was a bit surprised by how delicious the Ramyeon seasoning tasted, and I will be sure to find a good replacement for whenever McDonald's stops this promotion.

Food of the Year: French Fries--2024 in Review

Before anyone argues that french fries at not a main course and can't really be a food item of the year, I tell you to hush. Sometimes the side dish is what makes the meal you're eating truly delicious. I found myself really enjoying a wide range of french fries this year with assorted sauces or toppings. Sometimes a shoestring fry with ketchup. Other days a waffle fry with some cheese sauce and bacon. On occasion, a McDonald's fry dipped in some sweet and sour sauce or a Wendy's fry put in a Frosty. My point is that there are many options to enjoy french fries in all their forms and with various additional elements. They aren't the healthiest choice (although they can be made a bit better for you depending on how you prepare them) but they sure are tasty!
