Kangaroo is amazing, we should all be eating that instead of cow!

The most exciting it gets here is a McOz which has beetroot on it. Hugry Jacks (AKA Burger King) has an Aussie Burger with Egg AND Beetroot.

Steering the conversation away from McD and BK for a minute... In Aus and NZ, KFC has a Tower Works burger, which consists of a chicken fillet (original or hot n' spicy, aka Zinger), bacon, hash brown, pineapple, cheese, lettuce, mayo sauce and some BBQ sauce.

Anywhere else has this modern wonder?

Well...

...just twice in London because we were dashing between matinees and early evening performances---and yes, it was ghastly!--- But in Hong Kong, where there truly is NO excuse to eat "fast food" given the fabulous cuisine available, and even though there are several dozen MickeyD's we only went in one store just so we could take photos of the prices in HK dollars and show them to stateside friends so we could watch their eyes bulge.

Doesn't have pineapple in Australia, thank goodness, doesn't belong on a burger or a pizza.

When I was in Japan this year, they had a chicken katsu burger at KFC. ( i think it was just a seasonal thing) Of course nothing compared to this massive sounding burger in NZ/Aus

Apparently you haven't seen the Carl Jr's commercial

Yes it belongs on a burger

EBI fillet in Tokyo @ McD's... McDonalds isn't bad there... but nothing like Moss or Freshness burger...

McD's in France, Germany, Austria and Denmark...

In general I find them overpriced in foreign coutries...

Of course had to hit up starbucks in these places as well...

What red meat did you find in McD's in India?! There was certainly no beef in the one I went into, only a McMaharaja chicken burger and McAloo potato burger. You want fries with that?

Many, but not all, outlets in Indonesia.

I don't wish to start any conflict with my Aussie friends here, but what the hell are you guys thinking putting beets on a hamburger

I hate to call another culture's food 'wrong', but beets on a hamburger, that just goes against god.

I'll try the kangaroo though. Without the beets.

I finally broke my longstanding streak of never eating crappy American food overseas last week, and I managed to do it twice in 2 days. A client sprung for a sumptuous meal at Subway in Derby, England (Damn this recession!!!), and I followed it up with a lovely late-night snack from KFC the next day in one of the M6 service areas on my way back to Glasgow.

I think that was my first foray into a Subway in at least 5 or 6 years, and I don't recall having been to a KFC since at least the mid-80s.

My presupposition that the food at both eateries sucked was upheld...

As someone who hates pickles, I was surprised by how edible the beet[root] is on burger. It definitely beats (heh) pickles!
