Any other McDonald's around the world selling Alcohol?
I remember the Fleet Club McD's. Only place to dine by the harbour in HK island I think.

I never had a beer there but have had one in McD's in Brussels.

In Spain they do offer gazpacho, but it's just a supermarket brand that they sell. Not specific to McD's. They have the Greek burger, and the McNifica, and McRib all the time, plus a McRoyal which is a lettuce-and-tomato burger. They also have something I can't remember the name of, but it's basically a Big Mac made out of quarter pounder patties. It had so much fat and calories that the government recently made them stop advertising it. Edited to add: the double-quarter-pounder thing is called a Big Big Mac. The apple pies are fried, like in the good old days, and the salads are the nastiest thing I've ever had in a McD's.

There is also a Capricho, which changes every week. Usually they are small burgers with different toppings or sauces, but they are doing chicken Caprichos right now.

I go out of my way to find a McDonalds in every country I visit. So far my favorite food has been the Greek Mac. It tasted so good I had at least one everyday that I spent in Larnaca, Cyprus. I don't know how heathy it is, or isn't, but I wish they'd offer them stateside.

I remember many years ago stopping at a McDonald's in either New Mexico or Colorado that served tacos and burritos, not the breakfast burritos, but actual beef & bean burritos and tacos. On a side note, the McRib sauce makes a great dipping sauce for your fries.. ^

PLEASE, if in Spain, do yourself a favor. Have Gazpacho -- ANYWHERE but at McDonalds.

I LOVE Gazpacho. The stuff served at McD's in Spain is the sorriest excuse for gazpacho you could possibly find in that country. You can get great gazpacho in virtually all restaurants. Pass on the McD's gazpacho.

Nonsense!

There are far worse gazpachos in Spain - the stuff they sell in Mercadona for instance.

The gazpacho sold in McDs is from Alvalle, from Murcia, and in my opinion their gazpacho is the best sold commercially (it's the exactly the same sold by el Corte Ingles).
http://www.alvalle.es/
Sure, it isn't home made, but it's certainly the best alternative I've ever tasted (and I've tried an awful lot of them - I tend to drink litres of the stuff in the summer and I don't always get the chance to make it myself).

If you want a truly disgusting gazpacho try any of the sludge sold under the name by Marks & Spencers or the Convent Garden Soup Company.

The salads sold at McDonalds in Spain aren't too bad (if you can get over their use of iceberg lettuce), as well as a generous portion of canned tuna, REAL extra virgin olive oil as a dressing, salads also feature olives and asparagus.

Other unusual items that haven't been mentioned yet are:

tofu burgers with ginger sauce in Japan (was a limited offering - but very nice whilst they lasted)

And battered squid rings in Italy.

The McDonald's locations in south Texas sell empanadas 2 for $1.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Lobster....which used to be on the menu at Mickey D's throughout Quebec. "McHomard"....pieces of lobster meat on a bun.

Oh, and the Arizona Burger in London. The whole store was decorated in a US theme- pictures of NYC yellow cabs, cactus, and route 66 signs.

The Arkansas McD's that I have been in lately don't have them. That includes Marked Tree, Mountain Home, and Hardy. Not a bunch, I know, but you can mark out those three.
