There's just something not quite right about having tortellini at McDonalds.

The weirdest fast food offering though for me was not at a McDonalds, but rather a Fried Fish gordita at a Taco Bell in San Juan

Indeed!

But, oh, how I hate it when someone doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "beg the question"

8 years ago or so, I stopped at a McDonalds in Iowa that served chili and pizza.

Huh?

It's a fish taco in a different wrapper... What's weird about that?

(...yes, I went to school in San Diego, and lived on fish tacos with the surf crowd down in P.B.)

I live about 15 minutes away from that one, and while I try to avoid the golden arches, I won't deny that I've eaten there. I've actually taken clients there before, and they always walk out impressed.

In the South of France a few months ago they were testing several new beef and chicken options. I don't have pictures and only could bear to try once given all the other great food. I had a McCurry Chicken which was really just a fried chicken patty with curry sauce but the bun was also curry seasoned! In fact, all of the special offerings had special buns to match the theme. Sadly these are not on the McD's France menu now - there's some Chicken Mythic now - so I can't find them.

They also have a Croque Do - I think it's like a croque monsieur but on some sort of flat round toast.

As asides, I do recall the McPizza when it was tested in New York at least 10 years ago and it was really good. Like the Pizza Hut personal pizzas but less greasy. And the Poutine in Canada is really bad. I guess unless you REALLY love McDonald's fries. Had it once - and I love Poutine - but never again at McDs.

There are several Ocean City, MD McDonalds that offer crabmeat burgers. I wouldn't recommend them, it's probably 1/4 or even less real crabmeat.
McD's are quite good at that kind of thing. In Germany they used to offer a breakfast called "Ham and Eggs", which (missing the point slightly) was slices of ham (not bacon) in scrambled egg, which was lovely. Sadly they now offer "Bacon and Eggs" which is actual (frazzled) bacon. In Malaysia they have the usual offering but the sausage is chicken, not pork.

A few years back I recall partaking of Lamb McKorma with a side of samosas (served in a french fry sack) in the U.K.
