The only place I'm not tempted to eat at MacDs is in the USA - I've never seen anything exotic or enticing on the menu there.
I loved the Gazpacho in Spain. It's an interesting window into how other places interpret a familiar thing. That and they've been a lifesaver with the public toilets.
In the states, it's another matter. Since my work per diem is low, I find myself at McDonald's, or similar place, at breakfast or lunch to help stretch my dollars without having to worry about just what to expect, so I can have something more interesting/better for me for supper.
But what really draws me into the non-US McDonald's is the fried apple pie. It's a taste from my childhood that I can only get overseas. By the way, are the fried apple pies available in the UK?
