While I’m not a fan of what passes for food at McDonalds, I did get a kick out of a list of their international menu items.
.
.
A mac and cheese burger? I’m not sure whether to be delighted… or horrified.
.
.
I guess this saves a step somehow, but I’m not overly impressed.
.
.
Um, no.
.
.
Cheese definitely equals happiness in my book.

I don’t know about you, but porridge isn’t my go to choice when ordering fast food.
.

But clearly, the world and I disagree.

McPorridge.
Who knew?

You can get porridge in UK McDs but it’s substantially less savoury. I would still never order it obviously but it’s marginally less horrifying. I am curious about the Mac and cheese burger though. It’s the shrimp that intrigues me. It could be genius.

It could be… or not.

I do add a few fries to my burger or other sandwich at McD’s. But McPorridge??? I don’t think so.

If I’m not mistaken, porridge in Asian countries is usually made with rice. I don’t see what’s so odd about it. Would you eat risotto? Beef and barley soup? Barley isn’t that different from oats. Just saying…

I agree on the Gouda bites. I even dig the lingonberries they have hiding behind them, like, “Yoo-hoo…”

I remember taking a class that included how and why the world has become as homogenized (I hope I spelled that correctly) as it has with the likes of Mickey D’s, Starbucks, etc. However, in order to celebrate wherever they are located, McD’s offers up their version of local fare.
So I wonder why we don’t get McD’s version of chicken fried steak or Tex Mex in Texas. Of course, I’ve never even tried McRibs. I guess they’re popular, though. What food would you like McDonald’s to offer that would represent Maine? I know you couldn’t eat it, but it would have to be a McLobster something or another, right? Mona

They serve lobster rolls up here in the summer. They’re actually not bad and comparably cheap.

I love porridge but I wouldn’t get it at Maccas. Maccas = calories = burger and fries. Anything else seems out of place to me.

Exactly. When you go to McDonalds you want to feel your arteries close with every bite.

Preparing to run away and hide after I hit “submit”: I think I would actually try every one of these options, just to see what happens. Of course, that statement triggers a flashback to my mildly-slutty college years, when my dating philosophy was basically the same… 😉

Wow oh wow. I can’t even handle these menu items as my guys gurgle from a friend’s shrimp soup she made and gave me. Ugh! Bad food. Bad times!
