Did the chicken sandwich shrink?

They have Lobster Rolls in New England and the thought of Mcdonald's lobster makes me uncomfortable. They just introduced a "Philly" cheesesteak here (in the DC area), I don't know if that's supposed to be regional or not. We'd probably need the McCrab Cakes, but I'm pretty sure they know that would be blasphemy.

yeah, i was driving past mcdonalds today (in NJ) and i saw a sign for cheesesteaks. i think i'll pass.

McDonald's Philly Cheesesteak = Yuck!

Has anyone here had McDonalds outside of the US, like in other countries? I heard that they have their own special sauce and meat (I don't even want to know about their meat). But, some say its yummy.

I've been to McDonald's in Japan and Israel. The menu items are completely different. In Israel, they make veggie burgers to avoid the whole kosher meat thing. They're actually really good.

Vincent Vega: Allright, well you can walk into a movie theatre in Amsterdam and buy a beer, and I don't mean in no paper cup. And in Paris, you can buy a beer in McDonalds. Now you know what they call a quarter-pounder with cheese, er, in Paris?

Jules: What do they call it?

Vincent Vega: They call it Royale with Cheese.

Jules: Royale with Cheese? What do they call a Big Mac?

Vincent: A Big Mac's a Big Mac. But they call it Le Big Mac.

We've had the McPhilly Cheesesteaks here in the Chicago area. I haven't ordered them though.

I had McDonalds in London this summer. Most of the items were the same...although they still use the styrofoam package and the small, medium, and large drink sizes there are what the kiddie, small, and medium sizes here are. (which is what the small, medium and large sizes were in the US many years ago) They did have some different things...they had a pasta salad which was pretty good.

And of course, McDonalds in Canada has poutine, which I think is disgusting. (apologies to any Canadians who like it!)

When I got shipped to Germany courtesy of Uncle Sam, I did what most Americans do... have a Big Mäc und ein Bier at the SuckDonalds in the Trier Marktplatz. The German Mickey D's call the Big Mac the 'Big Mäc' (with umlaut) and the Filet-O-Fish is called the 'Fisch Mäc'. Fries are 'pommes frites'. And the beer was cold and on tap (vom Faß).

You want Booger King, you gotta go on base, though.

The McDonald's food I can stomach are the breakfasts and the yogurt parfait.

Eating lunch or dinner at Le McDonald's is only asking for Le Massive Puke later!

Not all Mickey D's in Canada have poutine. It's only available in Quebec. I haven't been to McDonald's in while, but back in 2000, during the Olympics, they were serving curly fries which were breaded and had spices in them. Really tastey

I've been to McDonald's in Israel.
In Israel, some of the resteraunts, mainly the ones in Jerusalem, are labeled "Kosher" - There will be no dairy at those resteraunts, no cheeseburgers, etc. The others, like in Tel Aviv, the modern Jewish city, it's a regular McDonald's.

The prices are extremely high compared to the United States, due to the price of beef in the region, because of the Mad Cow scare in Europe, etc. A kids meal cost me about 20NIS in 1999, which would be about US$5.

Really? I could have sworn I saw it on the menu at the McDonalds in Eaton Centre in Toronto. Of course there were tons of fast food restaurants there and I know some of them had poutine on the menu so I may just be confusing it with another place.

...but I DID see it in Montreal.

[mmcat]

i believe they did a turn with tacos out here...
and then there's the embarassment of their breakfast burrito.

They had pizza here in the Chicago area for a little while. Not all Mickey Ds, just certain ones. I never tried it but I heard it wasn't very good.

What is poutine?
