McDonalds: lighthearted

[Georgeskitchen]

In how many countries have you had a McDonalds?
How did you rate the different countries offerings?

I'm mcdonalds branches in Cape Cod you can get a lobster roll!

At least five, probably more, but I tend to only go if I'm too tired or rushed to think about food so have no particular memories of any of them except my first non-UK one. That was an Austrian fillet-o-fish and indistinguishable from the UK version.

Uk, Spain and France. I went to loret de mar about 15 year ago and they use to have vending machines in the street selling McDonald's we use to get a "long chicken" at 5am on way back from nightclub. It had probably been sat there all night🤢

I just asked DH about Germany because we lived in Berlin for a while, but we're both pretty sure that we never went to McDonalds there. There were so many different types of restaurants and cafes where we lived (near Ku'damm) that there was always something better to eat.

Odd answers, Spain, uk, USA, belgium, ,,,no discernible difference, honestly.

Ooh good question- loads here. We travel a lot with dc & we love to try the local cuisine but we usually manage a McDonald's in there too:
Belgium - beer & mayo woth the fries yum!
Czech republic- good
Poland
UK- dc said bit cardboardy
Ireland- good
USA v good
China- surprisingly good & got excellent macrons there
Italy
France
Spain
Hungary
Australia
Tasmania
Canada

Belgium - beer & mayo woth the fries yum!

I’m so confused, I lived there for years, it’s the exact same as the uk and Mayo comes in little packs like you get here, just the same as tomato sauce etc.,some are licenced. Some are not, but if they are it’s just a can.

I’m with you on Hong Kong, op. We had a night flight out of HK and I was on the verge of a tantrum when I realised McDs was the only place to eat open at the airport and my last meal of the holiday wasn’t going to be something local. Had an AMAZING salmon burger so all was not lost.

Haven’t eaten at loads abroad as I don’t eat meat and I pretty much always have a Fillet O’Fish so not much to explore, but I can certainly recall Brazil (McFish there), Italy, Portugal and the US.

Very few of the places I've travelled but my absolute favourite was in India. I'd had a funny tummy towards the end of my trip and just needed something that I knew would taste as expected and not make the digestion issues worse. Mission accomplished.

UK, France, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong. Really couldn’t tell them apart. Went to a Pizza Hut in New Zealand though and it was absolutely hideous, dirty tables all around us and we were the only people in there it was really weird and the pizza tasted awful!

Been to McDonald's in India which was so good, no beef obviously so everything is veggie, chicken or fish. Chicken Maharaja burger was the best. They also has proper toilets rather than squatters so that was a big plus!

Had it in Florida once, and it wasn’t as good as ours

India- I was delighted fries to eat in air con. No beef but their chicken spicy burger was amazing! images.app.goo.gl/Hced6m1VGFAs1n7s7

@Weaselstoatferret - great minds think alike. I’d forgetten the excitement of a none squat toilet!

The Macdonalds in Times Square very disappointing…definitely prefer my cheeky drive through in our local town, double cheeseburger …my secret pleasure a couple of times a month !,!

Every country I've visited I've had a McDonald's but getting spam in McDonald's in Hawaii was most memorable!

netherlands - it's cheaper to go to a proper restaurant.
but fries with fritsaus (sort of like mayo) is yum.

India has been the best by far. The had an amazing spicy chicken burger.

No idea about countries I’ve had one in but I have to say I loved that I could get a sausage and egg McMuffin all day in Hong Kong. They need to do that over here!

Five i think...England, wales, poland, portugal and new zealand ...can't remember which one was best now

My parents live in Sweden and when we go to there my DD always says it doesnt taste the same, her saying is how does a big Mac taste so different lol

@Badbadbunny I didn’t go in it, but there was definitely a maccies in Israel- right next to the Dead Sea.

I have however visited the most northern McDonald’s in the world in the Finnish arctic circle.

I love the Aussie burger with beetroot. Definitely miss that.

I have had Mcdonalds from the airport in Dusseldorf, I had curly fries and it was delicious

Spain: salty fries and fresh tasting - loved it
