McDonalds in Your Country

[Bubba]

Macdonalds tastes pretty much the same everywhere. Though I have to say the Macdonalds in Chorlton, South Manchester appears to be staffed by Uruk-hai Assassins...


Me: "Do you have any apple pies?"

Uruk points to cherry pies

Uruk: "What about them? They're freessssshhhhh!!!!"
Me: "erm... no thanks. Why don't you have any Big Macs?"
Uruk: "We've had nothin' but maggoty bread for three stinkin' days!!"
Me: "Ah right, no worries. What's on the deluxe burger?"
Uruk: "Man flesh."

There's a shout from the kitchen "Big Macs are back on."

Uruk: "Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!!!!"
Me: "Great, can I have some napkins with my meal?"

Uruk hands me some napkins...

Uruk: "THEY ARE NOT FOR EATING!!"

It wasn't the whole country but around where I lived, most of the McDonald's had poutine. It definitely wasn't the best poutine but it was still, you know, a poutine. (A poutine is fries and cheese (preferably curds) and gravy, for those who don't know.)

I also notice a portion size difference living in the US now. Their small drink is ridiculously big. The sizes vary from place to place where I was from but the small here is at best the size of a large where I was from in Canada. It's the size of an extra large from Tim Horton's.

TIL Shiny does not have delivery pizza in where ever Shiny is from.

I actually don't have delivery pizza because things are too far away BUT I BET SHINY ACTUALLY DOES.

??? I'm lactose intolerant. Can't have pizza and I haven't had McDonalds in a while either, but not because of the dairy because it's smurfing disgusting.

[Madame Adequate]

I'm shocked that someone whose heritage has involved such oppression would be intolerant.

[Shiny]

As if heritage has anything to do with McDonalds.

Intolerant to over-processed chicken and fish-filet that tastes like card board box and causes diarrhea? Well then yes. Still out of all the fast food places, I'd probably still go with McDonalds. Their fries are the best.

I am a takeaway junkie, so I like McDonalds.

In New Zealand, Kiwiburgers are bloody amazing. I adore them. I wish they had the pineapple in them, too, but it's good enough without. Cajun chicken burgers and McChicken burgers were both vastly superior to any chicken burgers I've had in the UK. McDonalds is legitimately cheap food. In the UK, you get less lettuce in your burgers (this varies from store to store but I've never had as much lettuce as I had in NZ in my UK burgers). The beef is about the same, oddly considering how NZ beef is considered some of the best in the world, but I guess the McD's down there don't use the best stuff. Filet'o'Fish is a little better in NZ than in the UK, but both are rubbish compared to fishburgers you get at most other places, especially the fish'n'chip shops in NZ that sell battered fish burgers with coleslaw in them which basically just blow any other fish burger out of the water.

Double cheeseburgers are my staple McDonalds purchase in UK. I got loads of them in NZ too but I would mix them up with chicken burgers and kiwiburgers.

I remember having contests in my high school years over who could finish a cheeseburger fastest. I was never able to beat Sean Carruthers who was one of those really tall buff kids with a square jaw and a massive mouth and could eat them in a couple of bites, but I could easily down a cheeseburger per minute and I think I once ate about ten of them in one sitting, that was ridiculous. I think it was when we were on a trip to Waitomoto Caves and people kept giving me more to see if I could keep going. I must have had something like eight burgers and five or six portions of fries. I could also eat about two 12" pizzas back then. I can no longer comprehend how this was even possible for me at the time because it seems utterly ridiculous and disgusting now. But I can't deny I'm a bit proud of those achievements despite all that. xD

KFC make better chicken burgers, so do Burger King. But none of them will top a good quality burger made at a good quality restaurant. Planet Hollywood probably boasts the best burger I've ever had in my life. That was in Auckland, and it was a gigantic kiwiburger, but they've shut down so...

I'd forego sex for the rest of my life for poutine on the regular.

In America, the McRib is back for a limited time! Well, in New York it is.

It was in Maryland too.

I think it's nationwide.

[Jinx]

Take two McDoubles
Take one McChicken
Put McChicken between each McDouble

Enjoy.

I've always haaated fast food chicken sandwiches. Do not want.

Yeah only a Commie Mutant Traitor would abhor the perfection of a good poutine. Though whether McDo has a good poutine is... unknown, as I live in an anglophone part of Canada and as such, it seems McDonald's is the only chain that has resisted the pressure to offer a poutine.

Also as for the chicken sammich deal... #6 at Wendy's please with large fries and three JBCBs.

I went to a Swedish McDonald's for the first time today. Fanciest goddamn fast food restaurant I've ever stepped foot inside. There were fresh poinsettia flowers in large, thin, fancy vases at the ketchup counter! What is that trout!

It looked like an Ikea setup that happened to be serving McDonald's at a counter. The food was pretty good, too! American McD's is pathetic and sad. The Swedish product was 100x better (but still, you know, McDonald's).

I thought you would've had your fill of Swedish beef by now.
