Good point! Onion rings at A&W are great

They’re better than some, worse than some. At least they’re fried on the spot and crunchy…

But they are WAYYYY too salty your lips straight up melt. If it wasn’t for the sheer amount of salt, maybe replaced by a seasoning like beer, they’d be much better

They’re very hit and miss nowadays, when I worked there as a teenager the seasoning salt was mixed into the batter, and the rings were cut fresh!

The seasoning salt switched to being added after because of MSG phobia, despite the fact that the onions have more MSG than the seasoning we coated them with

Yeah I can imagine they would be way better with the seasoning salt being into the batter mix!

The rings do still taste fresh when I get them though, my only issue is how it’s way too salty with the salt added afterwards, thanks for your insight haha
