    Yeah, I've been around the world at various McDonald's and I can unequivocally state that I would prefer the Asian items (Red Bean Pie, Korean Spicy Chicken, etc.) than anything else I've found so far.

    It's also impossible to get a regular iced coffee anywhere in the world except the US.

    Actually when I was in Australia outside of the nice coffee houses Mcdonald's had the best coffee. Well the downtown one in Adelaide. I would like to try the Mexican and Guatemalan breakfasts though. And I am sure the coffee with your breakfast in Guatemala would be killer.

    Their coffee is a great value for the money. Nothing world-spinning but good for the price.

    You'd think that, but it's not guaranteed. Many resorts in great coffee areas have deals with horrible coffee (i.e. Nescafe in Dominican Republic, Mexico, etc.) and I assume that businesses operating with supply-chains do the same, though obviously it may vary on region.

    But more to the point, it's an Iced Americano everywhere else in the world, not an Iced Coffee (if they even offer an iced coffee-like drink). If I forget that, my head explodes the first time I drink it...

    I don't care for the American stuff. I tend to pass on it. When I was in Australia it was way better then most places including star bucks. But then again the place in downtown Adelaide had a separate part of the counter for a barista who actually made your coffee and took their time to make it like they would at a coffee house. It was really nice.

    I had fresh pineapple for breakfast at a Honolulu McDonald's. Probably the only good thing I ever ate at the place.

    Darth Guy: So, basically Hawaiian McDonalds sell the Hula Burger?

    (You see, back in the 1960s, McDonalds founder Ray Kroc noticed sales fell at their stores in heavily Catholic areas on Fridays, so he created the Hula Burger, which was a grilled pineapple between two buns with the usual hamburger fixings. The most obvious solution, the Filet-O-fish, was concocted by a lone McDonalds franchisee operator who convinced Ray Kroc to take it national.)

    Wow. There's still a market that sell those? I had no idea.

    Have you read Behind the Golden Arches?

    It wasn't a burger, no. In retrospect it was probably inspired by the large Japanese-American community on the island. I also recall rice which is unusual for U.S. McDonald's locations or was at the time.

    No, it just turns up a lot in the "unusual facts/trivia" kind of stuff I read.

    Speaking of KFC, I had some chicken at a KFC in India which was way better than the American recipe. The batter had different herbs and spices, and the chicken pieces weren't covered in undercooked/oil soaked batter by the time they reached the table. And they also sell rice bowls but who cares.
