Interesting discussion on the fast food international. I’ve heard that there’s a lot of variability on the content of what gets served, and what might be bottom end in one country is actually pretty good in another. I’m sure culture, codes, and expectations have a lot to do with that.

It was convenient so I went to a McDonald's in the Amsterdam train station - it was exactly like eating at one in the States. But you're right, many chains do have regional variability, even within different areas of the US.

hawaiian locations of mcdonald’s are the only place in the us that serve blueberry pies. (i don’t like mcdonald’s or blueberries, but fun fact)

Been to both MacDonald's and KFC in my wife's hometown of Shanghai. They are nothing like what they are here. Actually a lot better than here though. Can't remember last time I ate at either one.

Although I do have to say that after sailing to the Bahamas and skirting a hurricane, the sight of a Burger King sign was awesome. The island was fairly devastated, and the ship was being cleaned from all of the puke everywhere. The only place open was the Booger King. Such a great first cruise experience.

The blurring effect on all the others except for the very bored looking young woman in the foreground makes her a centre of focus..it's rather amusing.

I know that McDonald's sells fried chicken in Central America... they call it the "Pollo McCrispy" - I recently saw McD's had relabeled their chicken sandwich in the US with that name.

lol - nothing like a good case of seasickness to make you appreciate solid ground. Having been there, I appreciate Samuel Johnson's view of ships - “No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.”

Last one I had was not very crispy. Hmm...

That just makes me sad, haha. Who goes to Venice to go to Hard Rock?

McDonalds in Locarno, Switzerland.
Just what are those Big Macs and Happy Meals made of?
(I'm sure the people posting in Europe will understand the joke)
