ReplyDeleteI had NO idea that McDonald's served different versions of hamburgers all over the world! Wow!
We have the Ebi burger at our McDonald's here now on promo.
ReplyDeleteWe also get the Shake Shake Fries* once a year... now this, I LOVE!
*Your fries come with a packet of seasoning (BBQ, seaweed, black pepper, etc.) and a paper bag in which to "Shake Shake" the fries with the seasoning!
Oh wow! I'll go to Canada! LOL
ReplyDeleteIn Hawaii, you can get rice at their McD's!
Oh I don't know if I would trust a McLobster - sounds fishy, lol!
ReplyDeleteWow! Everyone always makes fun of me for eating McDonald's whenever I travel to a different country - but look! There is so much McDonald's I have to try! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'll take Japan, Canada, Australia and Malaysia. I didn't know they had curly fries at Mickey D's???
ReplyDeleteYum!!!
wow since when has McD Malaysia served curly fries??! I ~so~ miss the Prosperity Burger tho :(
ReplyDeleteOh wow some of these actually look so good. The weird thing I noticed, is that in other countries the ketchup tastes different than in the US!
ReplyDeleteInteresting... I have never really thought about what would be served.
ReplyDeleteSome of those look pretty good, don't they? I've heard they have the lobster rolls in the Boston area. Not here in Chicago though. :(
ReplyDeleteI didn't know McDonald's menu varied like that!
ReplyDeleteStuff we never knew! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Following you.
ReplyDeleteThe Malaysian one and Australian one sound really good.
ReplyDeleteOkay, being part Polish, I'm thinking the Kielbasa sandwhich is lookin' pretty good!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. My son wants to live in Japan one day. I showed him the shrimp "burger" and he is ready to go now. Kid loves shrimp. Thanks for your nice comments at my blog.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are very interesting. Spaghetti at McDonald's seems so funny, but I can understand why it would work. Not sure why the kielbasa burger didn't work out. It sounds yummy. I'm serious!
