McDonalds around the world

He says he is. Actually, he's just a lazy slob who's never done a day's work in his life but was Union President for the Metro company for years. Talks and talks and talks, but never does anything.
Bit like labour here. Ex pm and present pm are socialist. About to be slaughtered in election in a few weeks. There's a joke going around .

Does McDonalds occasionally sell the McRib anywhere besides the US?

View attachment 105093

Mystery meat with BBQ sauce, onions and pickles on a roll. It has a cult-like following in the US. McD's will bring it back for like ten days, and people go nuts.

YUCK!!
 
The only "local" options at McDs over here are (1) cheese empanadas (utterly appalling) and (2) arepas (even worse)
Back a few years ago, Chavez and his cronies banned the import of "100% Beef" burgers, and the fries.
We were left with local burgers (dry and nasty) and yuca fries. Never been back since then!

Probably in retaliation for the US banning oil for Venezuela. You can't buy our beef, and I can't buy Cuban cigars. Politics.

You and Karadekoolaid need a "businessman" to run your country. We have one who may be looking to leave the US before long. I'm sure Trump can fix all your problems in NZ and Venezuela. After all, capitalism is 100-percent perfect. Just look at our health care system. The best money can buy (as long as you have a lot of money). The opposite of socialism is social Darwinism... survival of the fittest. That's why Trump, and other billionaires, don't pay federal income taxes. We wouldn't want to "punish success," right?

The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.

Personally, if I hated the country I live in, I'd leave it. But, I love my country, warts (including McDonald's) and all.

I forgot to add that we also have some exclusive sundaes, like sundae with "doce de ovos" (sweet egg cream) or with "doce da casa" (a dessert made of cream, eggs and biscuits), both are traditional portuguese desserts made with egg yolks.

Portugal has a lot of desserts made with egg yolks. Nuns in convents used egg whites to iron priest's clothing and stiffen their collars, and they were left with a surplus of yolks that they turned into sweets and sold for a profit. These are called "conventual sweets" and comprises over a dozen of different desserts and pastries, all cloyingly sweet and made with egg yolks.

I love my country as well, just not with a socialist gooberment. Gays and socialists run our country atm. I have gays in my family. But a high % isnt right.
National are slaughtering them in the polls.
Trump deserves slammer time. Evil man.
Gay minister of justice stood down for ramming a car owned by ex girlfriend new girlfriend. You couldn't write this stuff. This lot are in free fall.
Do you guys tolerate socialism now?
McCarthy??
Just telling it as it is. Did you know Cindy's at harvard now?.

We are way off topic, but it depends who you ask. To some people, paying taxes is socialism. I guess they expect everyone to build their own roadways and have their own personal police and fire departments.

On the other hand, there are some people who expect government to control the weather and cure male pattern baldness.

Both are living outside of reality.

We don't even have a McDonald's here, never mind a dish specific to Thailand. They have McDonald's in the capital and I guess in most holiday resorts.

I can't say that I miss McDonald's.

Other than the Sausage McMuffin with Egg breakfast sandwich, I have no use for McD's, either. I always started my road trips with one of those. Their coffee is pretty good, too, and less than half the price of Starbucks.

I think the most iconic menu item in Portugal is "caldo verde", which is a traditional portuguese soup made with julienned cabbage.

We also have "McBifana" which is McDonalds interpretation of the portuguese "bifana", which is just a fried pork chop sandwich made with "carcaça" (the type of bread is called "carcaça")

I'd really like to try those!

When I stay in Bangkok I'm usually at a hotel in Asoke area and there's a McThai right next to it, so I usually end up there after some drinks. Last time I was there they had the Triple Cheeseburger:

Yes we do, plus at Chinese New Year they have a variant called the Prosperity Burger. Again - too much sauce (black pepper in this case)...

Sausage & Egg McMuffin is one of my go-to hangover cures. In Singapore the sausage patty is actually made with chicken so that it's Halal. I didn't know this for years and having come from the UK where it's pork, once had a heated discussion on its composition with a colleague of mine, which I eventually lost.

Yes - McD coffee is as good/bad as Starbucks (i.e. adequate) and costs much less here too.
