Sounds like the pot calling the kettle "tarnished." ;)

I found your blog very interesting despite the fact that I never go to McDonald's. I used to work with a guy who collected Pizza Huts. He had visited them in more than 50 countries. And the funny thing was, I think he always ordered the same thing. He was a lifelong internal auditor. They tend to be strange.

recently ive been eating a lot of mcdonalds since my 1 yr old loves the chicken mc nuggets. anyone have any input on how the chicken mc nuggets taste elsewhere outside of the USA. I know they changed the recipe for chicken mc nuggets recently. they taste much better than they did a few years back.

I'd never heard of the combination until I came across a 2011 remake of Mildred Pierce ~ 2 1/2 years ago. Given the novel had been published 70 years before the remake.

I used to be revolted by McD's sausage and pancakes (with syrup poured over both).

Regretfully no special McD's menu items where I am. Not even poutine.

It's my understanding that West Coast folks don't like that stuff from Montreal!

I love the McLobster from eastern Canada.

burger mcdo, ultra low cost burger for philippine market.

harsh reminder of the 3rd world status of my country.
even the koryo burger has some greens right?

and then we have this abomination:

mcspaghetti, pasta with sweetened tomato sauce and chopped hotdogs. smoke and umami taste comes from a local smoked fish or extract from a similar product. just my guess but the sweetness and hotdogs are real.

Both look disgusting. I can't imagine a McDonalds burger with no pickle or onions. And what are those items on the left of the pasta? McNuggets of some sort?

ramondelapaz Nov 27, 2016 7:01 pm

well, at least they look better than they taste.

BamaVol, yes very.


that breaded and fried chunk is an actual piece of bone in, whole muscle, fried chicken. which around here is actually cheaper than the imported emulsified grind chicken (mostly butts and combs maybe?) mcnuggets.

sauce cup will contain instant gravy...which some pour over the rice they eat with pasta and chicken...dont look at me, i swear i have seen it more than once.

mcd here took their cue from local rival jollibee (if you find this disgusting, dont even look up jollibee) that built its empire on fried chicken.

Local tastes can be surprising. As a teacher in Tennessee, Mrs. BamaVol discovered that children would demand ranch dressing with any slice of pizza. And of course a sausage biscuit requires grape jelly. In each case, to us, one of those ingredients seems out of place.

I heard of people putting mustard on their sausage biscuit

That is pretty neat how there are various menu items at McDonalds throughout the world. It would be neat to try the various menu items that are in different countries.

Jollibee has the best fried chicken.

Also, while I didn't initially like it, after 8 years of marriage to a filipino, sweet spaghetti is growing on me. With sliced unnaturally red hot dogs and grated american cheese product, of course. :D

We have a jollibee in my town and I went there because of the hype.. Honestly there's better fried chicken to be had.

Back to the thread.. I loved the Old Amsterdam burger.. I do wish it's something we can get over here.

Edit: McDonalds should also bring the Curry sauce. It is the best dipping sauce for fires.
