It's interesting how Chains will localize themselves to the food culture they're doing business in.  I loved the McTeriyaki burgers in Japan, they were actually pretty good. Believe it or not.

I want the crust on the apple pies to look like the Bacon potato pie.

Bring back fried!

I'd be quite happy to try some to those items, especially the lobster roll.

i've had the hawaiian breakfast (rice, eggs, spam and sausage that's spicier than the normal stuff) when on vacation in hilo, they also serve sides of pineapple and papaya.
 
 2 years ago i had a royale with cheese (aka quarter pounder) and a beer at a mcdonald's in france (amboise to be exact)
 
 overall, overseas mcdonalds seems to be better quality than what's available in the states, at least from what i've seen..

The "Beer", MD is serving over here, is a somewhat "thin" Piss. I am aware, that MD does not serve beer, only in Germany, but this wahsy Piss, this is never Bier, just wastewater!

the beer served at the french mcdonalds was kronenbourg 1664, a common canned french lager similar to budweiser, miller, etc. but better... but still, the novelty of being able to order beer at a fast-food joint was fun, especially because it was a very hot day at the time....

I'm not surprised to hear you say that, Michael of Germany. McDonalds couldn't possibly serve good beer.

They're trying to serve coffee latte drinks here to compete with Starbucks. In my opinion it's okay but it isn't quite the same.

I'd really love to try the Ebi Filet-o or the McArabia or McTurco. They look great!

I think McDonalds has gotten away with murder in Japan and elsewhere they spread their garbage.

Most of that stuff looked pretty good.  Hell.  I can't even get the 99 cent double cheeseburger in my area.

Greetings, Jennie!

It is years ago, I tried the so called "Beer" at a MD here in Germany. I asked for the brand of the beer, the waitress was not able, to answer my question...

Beer and Germany, either fresh from a bottle, or tapped from the barrel, but never in a plastic cup, ala MD.

Kind regards

Michael
