I remember veering off I-95 near Portland, ME, to gas up and being lured by the promise of McLobster Rolls at the adjacent Mickey D's drive thru. Sadly, the small piece of processed protein passing as lobster was a rubbery nub buried two feet deep in mayo. The roll, amazingly, managed to stay unpleasantly dry on the outside and a gushy mess inside, thus rendering it neat yet unseemly all at the same time.

Next time I'm in Japan, I'll stick with soba and sushi.

I haven't seen the McPoi, but the "big breakfast" in Hawaii consists of eggs, rice, portugese sausage and Spam!

They have Bistro McDonalds in Florida with Pannini Bread and wraps, etc. Enough food for two people in one serving.

When vacationing in India back in 2003, I came across a vegetarian version of the BigMac. This is known as the McPaneer; it's a cottage-cheese type of burger mimicking it's beef counterpart, but of course, without the tasty peaceful Hindu cow as the main course. I would venture to say that it was not bad tasting considering that McDonald's food is usually not good tasting. Thanks and enjoy. Peace!

When visiting Sri Lanka, I saw the McBiriyani (which is a type of rice with chicken and spices). Didn't try it though so I can't comment on the taste!

When I was in Dublin in 2000, I discovered a delicious treat there called the McWedge - a seasoned serving of potato wedges served with a sour cream and chive dipping sauce. They were amazing, and in my nieve 15 year old mind, I hoped that this would be something that would be coming stateside soon. Unfortunately for me and all potato lovers, this never materialized. On my next trip to Ireland in March-April 2005, I wanted McWedges, but they were no longer on the McDonalds menu. :( I did however, discover Supermac's, a local fast food chain based out of Galway, and they beat mcdonalds by a long shot.

southern cooking is the best, white beans, turnip greens, fried chicken, corn, mashed potatoes, homemade bread, top, with homemade banana puddin or a homemade peach cobbler. to heck with all this store bought or fast food places. every one wonder's why we have the highest weight gains here. fill up with good nurshing food and lay off all junk food is the best advice i can give. a glass of orange juice in the morning will keep you going and reduce flu and bad colds. try some hog brains with scramble eggs and homemade biscuits for breakfast a real treat!!

As a native of Maine, I have eaten many lobsters and lobster rolls. The McLobster rolls aren't that bad. I would rather have a McLobster roll than a boiled lobster from an place like Red Lobster where they don't keep the lobsters cold enough and they keep them too long. The meat in the McLobster roll, though not much, is at least fresh and tasty. I live here in the south now, and I knew I had arrived when I started seeing McDonald's offering biscuits and gravy for breakfast. And the McTea, it's better than what I make at home.

At most McDonalds in the South, I was able to find the Hot and Spicy chicken sandwich, a dollar menu item, now that I've moved to the North, it seems nonexistent.

The kitchen staff in Washington looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about it.

I hear the Mcdonalds food is bad for me

In Southern California here we have the Southwest burrito style snacks. And of course the breakfast menu has the same type with eggs. In Hawaii they have DOUBLE and TRIPLE Big Mac's and quarter pounders for the larger appetites (looked just gross), and of course spam and poi on the menu. We did order the Ahi fish burger. quite good! The food there seemed a bit more on the larger servings sizes.

In Hong Kong, we could order beer at McDonalds.

I think whoever told you there is McPoi in Hawaii was pulling your leg.
There is a spam bicquit and spam and portuguese saugage served with
rice on the big breakfast.

Spent alot of time in Hawaii. NEVER saw McPoi. However, there was rice on the menu and of course Spam, an Hawaiian favorite. They also had turnovers that were coconut flavored. A local favorite, I can't remember the name, they were sort of like a coconut flavored pudding in pastry.

I remember traveling to St Louis on vacation one time and getting
McRavilois.................not sure what they were really named but they were toasted raviolis and pretty darn good. WIsh we could get them in the south they would go good with McSweet Tea!

Reply

I'm 24 and live in St. Louis, and I have never seen raviolis at McDonalds. Maybe it was before my day!! My husband says he used to live in Maine and he always got steak biscuits. Anybody have those? We don't have those in STL area.

In Hong Kong, I saw huge billboards for McD's big new promotion, called McCorn. It was just a plastic cup of plain old yellow corn! Wow. Who knew that the most ordinary of vegetables was somehow exciting and unique there.
