Default Burgerking French frys..
This has been bugging me for months..

Have they changed their cooking oil blend in the last few months?

Their French Frys now have a horrible bitter aftertaste. Has anyone else noticed?

You'll get that nasty taste if they don't change their oil as regularly as they should or if they run the fryers too hot for extended periods of time...

Nelson BurgerKing , Richmond also

This is recent have noticed it only in the last 3 or 4 months.

I thought they might have switched their oil blend to make them healthier /taste worse

IMO nelson BK is pretty grubby, hardly ever go there now. Richmond is better, but I can't say I've noticed any difference in the frys.

Don't go to BK. Had a Mighty Angus Burger fires coke and a apple pie from Maccas last night. Delicious.
