I was a pretty big fan of the McLobsterRolls at the McDonalds in Maine. Perhaps not as far-out as a lot of the stuff in this thread, but it seemed pretty exotic to this West Coaster!

I've had the gallo pinto in Costa Rica but its been years. Amusing but no where near as good as mom's!
More recently tried the red bean paste pie in Hong Kong. Pretty good! (Semi related, in HK at the KFC's they have REALLY good egg tarts...)
In Israel, checked out what I thought was a McFalafel however, upon further inspection, the "falafel" balls were actually little meat patties! Fail. Did not try it after all.
I really don't like Mickey D's however, its fun to see what regional items they put on the menu! Must try order beer next time I'm in Germany!

Maybe. I didn't actually order it. From afar it looked like falafel but when you saw the photo, there were definitely "grill marks" on the patties! All meat at McD's is kosher, however this particular location was not a fully kosher restaurant.

This one sounds good!
The McTurco, sold in Turkey, is 2 burger patties covered in cayenne pepper sauce, and vegetables, and served on a fried pita.

I had a McBeer once in France just for the novelty. The beer was what you would expect from McD's - adequate, somewhat cheap, far from gourmet. Only had the one then walked to the corner cafe and continued with "real" beverages.

Actually I eat at McDonalds more often in HK than I do in Toronto and I have homes in both places. Same goes for KFC. KFC in particular taste better in HK than in NA from my perspective.

Hello FTers,
Here's my experience with Mickey Dees:
1. In New Zealand, I ordered a "Kiwi Burger." How bad could it be? Well, it came with a cold beet that dripped its juice through the lettuce to the burger. ewwwww!!!!! I hate hot beets, and cold beets even worse!
