A McD in Marbella, Spain is one of my favorites - you can eat outdoors overlooking beautiful mountains, have a Gazpacho to start off with, a fresh salad with anchovies and sardines, and have a lovely cold beer to go with it - all for about EUR 6

Do they still have fish porridge on the breakfast menu in Singapore?

My favorite global Mickey D's choice is the "Shrimps" served in Switzerland. They're as good as on what might expect in an average seafood restaurant.

Do they still serve McRuis from time to time?

+1 for McDonalds in Japan. ^ Much better pickles than in the US.

Funny side note though, since "Ronald" is difficult for the Japanese to pronounce correctly his name is actually "Donald McDonald" here.

Malaysia is much nicer as well
 
Though I never eat at McDonalds state side here, I did go to them in Malaysia simply because I knew the meat to be halal (Muslim version of kosher)....the burger was better tasting, looked just like the picture on the ad, and the they had a washing station to wash your hands in the dining area.....hows that for cleanliness.....you wont find that here in the states, thats for sure.

Yes i agree , i have been in Sweden, Denmark , Finland, Norway and someother european countries and i have to say McDonald's quality is very good when compared to some asian countries.

Here in HKG Mc Do is quite good, too. Especially since they launched the quarter pounder here. And it is really cheap, too :-)

I really live much better without tasting Mc Donalds ...

They should call it McSodium. Even the most basic cheeseburger has HALF of the max sodium intake you should have in a day. In just the cheeseburger. Everything they sell is more heavily salted than more or less every other fast food vendor around. The food quality is also very poor. I'm at a loss as to why people continue to eat there.

I just saw a piece on TV last night about sit-down restaurants. Outback's full slab of ribs is incredibly dosed with sodium and calories. California Pizza Kitchen's grilled chicken salad has almost 2,000 calories. Pretty surprising when people often think of salads as being more healthy than pizza!

So McDonald's is not the only culprit.

Whether or not you eat at Micky Dees... I hope everyone has seen the movie Super Size Me It is classic! Somehow I don't think much has changed in the last 5 years since it was made.

Much to the embarrassment of many Americans.

Agree wholeheartedly.

It is a garbage export.

I cringe when I see them anywhere, especially in Asia. So out of place and grotesque. It saddens me to see people choosing this junk over their own (authentic) food!
