Has a nice list of the country specific products from around the world.
The old Mc dees doesn't have a lot to offer me as a vego except a big mac no meat.... But still interesting list to look at.

Bit of a McFalafel in Egypt perhaps or Mc Currywurst in Germany

Edit: NZ gets pavlova! I will continue to not eat McDonalds in protest.

Do they have food? I've only ever used McDonald's as a public toilet.

I have a Maccas about six times a year, when travelling usually. I love the Angus Burgers but at the end of the day prefer Hungry Jacks.

People who sneer at Maccas are usually the same people who say "I don't watch Commercial Television or shop at Woolworths and never never eat white bread or drink tap water" etc. Compared to a lot of restaurant foods such as Italian and Indian with not a veggie in sight and loaded with fats, burger joints actually provide a lot more nutrients.

Cooking is my major hobby, probably over home brewing, so I always take note of ingredients, nutritional values etc. Problem with Maccas is the over use of sugar and salt and the use of bad fats such as Canola oil.

However, strip away the sauces and the offering of bread, some salad, some dairy, some meat etc in a burger is probably better for you than spag bog or butter chicken or most so called Mexican crap.

I do that already, (except not in protest so much as self preservation).

...unless I'm drunk.

Food? Only by a stretch of the definition..

What's wrong with Canola oil ? Thought it was a healthier alternative to normal vegetable oil

Well if you want to use an industrially processed solvent-extracted deodorised chemical fracked out of GMO seeds then that's fine. Don't come crying to me when you get macular degeneration

I use home made Ghee, cold pressed coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. And lard and dripping from contented free range animals.

Not really, I prefer natural foods based on a bit of research from a personal health point of view, not on a snobby, "now I've got you you son of a Bogan Slut" point of view.

If you keep things in balance it doesn't harm you to eat the odd Maccas and enjoy it for what it is. Then back to the yummy lard. :beerbang:

 

[goomboogo]

Is it possible that some people don't eat at McDonald's because they tried it once and didn't like it?

I see. But your point of view allows you to shit on other peoples choices in cooking oils. Carry on.

Really? I sneer at them because they make shit burgers that are the size of a small biscuit. I love burgers, what maccas do to them is a travesty. Soggy, sweet bun, uniform overcooked patty, rubbish sauce and shitty lettuce. what's not to sneer at?

HJ is not a lot better. Good fish and chip shop burgers are the go for me (or the place near me that is just burgers and ******* great).

Your stereotypes are wrong. People probably don't eat mcdonalds if they think the food is shit. Some have socio-political reasons. I don't watch much commercial TV but I'm not dogmatic about it, I eat white bread from time to time and drink tap water quite often.

I'm also not called Alistair and I drink CUB products if and when I feel like it. Maccas make shit food that makes me feel ill and I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.

Nothing wrong with Beef dripping or Bacon fat they can decoke arteries these days. Now where are my glasses can't see the screen
I fry my eggs in Canola. Maccas in Kuta Bali just has the normal fare nothing Indonesian I think.

On the rare occasion that I eat some Maccas or any of the big fast food offerings, I usually throw away the last few mouthfuls and swear to never eat that shit again.

With the one and only exception...........Red Rooster Classic Roast. No shit, I finish one of those and I've gotta hold myself back from ordering another.

Pumpkin, potato, carrot and peas in a takeaway :icon_drool2:
