McDonald's and fast food restaurants are looked down on in many western countries. Flexing you're eating at McDonalds to westerners is like saying you don't know what quality looks like.
the mcdonalds here in hong kong are fuckin sick compared to the ones i've been to in the US and Canada.
some of the juiciest fried chicken i've ever had, and the seasonal shaker fries are hella rad.
McDonald's only uses pink slime in the US. Other countries health standards require real food to be served. So that flex is actually understandable. Their McDonald's is actually good and relatively healthy all things considered. I can't imagine eating McDonald's over there your entire life only to realize one vacation that your country has the superior fast food.
Mechanically separated meat is sold and served in Europe and Asia.
Idk about Asia, but I've been to McDonald's in Germany and it tasted exactly the same as home.
When I briefly lived in China one of the first things expats would ask is if you've tried KFC yet. I don't eat meat but almost every Westerner I met raved about how much better fast food is in china.
I used to get fast food fries occasionally in Australia, then stopped when I moved to the US cause the quality was much worse. I started again Taiwan.
Biggest cope in the past 10 years, here ...hahaha
I can assure you is that all of the fast foods ive been to in europe, all tasted like shit. except for kfc and taco bell. Subway is the most egregious offender, 9 euro for a 15 cm sandwich is straight up theft. It wasnt even good, just the most mid turky sandwich ever
Subway in Europe does the veggie pattie and that is fire. Can't find that automatically in non-Europe Subways.
Well, in Russia both old McDonald's and today's pirate version are fine. Maybe too dry, it's as if you needed a bucket of water to drink after eating such food.
I've heard Americans also despise Burger King, despite the laggy app and all, it's very nice here.
