Whether it is true or not I couldn't say, but it's been rumored that
Japanese branches of McDeath will fry certain menu items in a form of
fish oil. There may be more to it than that, as with the thing I read
this morning that nam pla is made from fish piled in a barrel and "aged"
(nudge, nudge, wink wink). In other words, this may conceivably be a
case of telling the truth to mislead.
