Had a Mickey D's burger in Sydney with a beet on it - one of the most disgusting things I've ever bitten into (no way was I going to eat it).

I suppose that what you are attempting to say is that you just cannot beet eating a hamburger at a McDonald’s restaurant in Sydney.

And others say punsters should be beat until red.

This reminds me of finding a runny egg on top of a calzone ordered in an Italian take-out place in Menton France right up next to the Italian border. I like calzones and I even like runny eggs - just not together.

Maybe we need a "strange-additions-to-familar-foods" thread.

Cheers,

McD in London and in Paris. I was so happy to see the McDs in Paris. It was a day in the 90s and I was desperate for good AC.

Update: The aforementioned brother is currently in the Philippines for a 6 month work assignment. Apparently one of the specials at the McD's closest to him is the McSpaghetti

Spaghetti is a popular fast food in the Philippines. It's usually prepared Filipino style...the sauce is on the sweet side.

Pizza Hut lunch buffet in Tokyo
Subway in Manchester UK

Each had good price/performance and in the case of Subway, they were open late

I never used to... in fact I'd sniff at people who ate McDonald's in Madrid...

but last month I was in India and I went to a McDonalds just to see how it was different than McDonald's here in the US. I have to say that the veggie burger was fantastic.

Well, not exactly overseas, but at least a river separates Mexico and the US

In Mexico
  • McDonald's
  • Burger King
  • Carl's Jr
  • Subway
  • Pizza Hut
  • Wendy's
  • Domino's (well, not exactly fast food)

Singapore
McDonald's (my sister's fault)

Italy
McDonald's (use of restroom, bought a coke)

UK
McDonald's (use of restroom, bought a coke)

Spain
McDonald's (use of restroom, bought a coke)

And I am sure I am missing a few trips to some other McD's

We get the same Mc Veggie over here. I like it as well, though you can't compare to the BK Veggie that you get at home. Actually, the BK Veggie is a Morningstar burger (IIRC), which you can occasionally find here, but it's not the same.

Every time I see this thread, I feel tempted to go out and get some fries... .
