Why do americans do this??? Jesus Christ
I ate mcdonalds in canada, AMA
Actually I will answer the pressing question, they taste the same
Do you never travel?
Sometimes you need food your stomach is familiar with.
Don't you feel curious on how other countries do fast food from familiar joints?
Mind you I would prefer to try the local places.
>comparing fast food in other countries to see if it tastes different
Yes, those horrible Americans.

How the fuck can you go to Italy and eat at Mc Donalds????
>eating fastfood for breakfast

Can someone screencap this with the fat American spurdo?
>>52721850
I haven't seen a single McDonalds here, the local food tastes better than McDonalds back in the US anyway why would somebody do this.
>>52721932
>American diets consist of McDonald's, not normal food
Makes sense desu
>>52722599
>the local food tastes better than McDonalds back in the US
No shit, it's like you're explaining something which isn't already obvious.
Why the autism? You can't be eating authentic local food 24/7.
And fast food is passable in Europe.
>>52721850
Go to Europe? I have no idea.
It's a shit hole, their historical buildings are tourist traps and their landscapes are shit. The Alps are good, that's about it.
>>52722724
This is why I use ''american'' as an insult.
>>52721850
Dude I'm from southern Ontario and mcdicks definitely does taste different here. Less good but it looks like the picture
>>52722710
This.
There's also a thing about Micky Ds being different in Europe so people may go to see if that is true, which it is.
>>52722970
>I go to European countries with excellent cuisine to check if the disgusting junk food is less disgusting there

I actually heard this form my dad and wanted to taste how international chains taste in different countries since.
But I can't travel coz I'm poor and stuck in a cycle of work and study.
>>52722710
But you literally can, and should

desu sicilian food is so fucking shit I'd do the same if I ever go down to mafialand there.
>>52721850
Because we can afford it.
Living in Korea for 2 years. Im sick and fucking tired of Kimchi and Korean bbq. Sometimes you just want a fucking McDonald's cheeseburger ya know? Its good every once in awhile. And yes its different here.
>>52723268
Afford MacDonalds? Thank God.
>>52723140
>disgusting junk food
Retarded meme. There's literally nothing wrong with McDonalds food. Big Mac and fries is as good of a lunch as any.
>>52723206
It's true because McDonalds gets supplies from local companies. They aren't going to ship American meat overseas.
>>52723346
>shitty Europe is
You mean Greece? Iceland? Russia? Portugal? Norway? Malta?
I go to McDonald's 3 times a year but I eat kebab and pizza more often
just came here to laugh at the inevitable super defensive posture american posters will adopt
It's already starting

desu the museums/Uffizi are pretty good if you don't spend a long ass time there because they get boring if you do, the landscapes are more beautiful than American ones (which are god-tier) in Siena. The shops are nice, the food is extremely good, and the towers are fun to climb.
The bad stuff is that the people have no fucking manners even to other Italians, people are unfriendly and cold even to other natives, there is shit and piss (human and dog) everywhere on the sidewalks and streets, and there is way to many muslims. Even the guards with assualt rifles looked fucking nervous there is so many muslims, the new influx of post-christmas tourists will worsen it.
Its not overrated and shitty buts its not a godland, America is better.

>>52723346
>Europe is one place
>>52721850
>>52721850
Why not? It's kinda fun to see something so familiar in a foreign shape. I ordered a pint of beer and some fries at a mcdonalds cause I thought it would be fun/weird to drink beer in a mcdonalds.
>>52723710
>Florence is Italy

>>52723417

>i'm either 16 or i just act like i am
>>52723855
that was in rome, forgot to add that
>>52723283
This. The food gets repetitive in Italy if you dont want to eat at expensive restaurants all the time.
The only time I eat mcdonalds is running around big cities like Müchen or so because its cheap, quick and familiar.
>>52723206
It's kind of intresting looking at international chains in different nations because many nations have special items on their menus that are only in that nation. Like Micky Ds in russia has some shrimp sandwich that's only there.
>when foreigners come to New York City and eat fast food shit
WE DONT EVEN EAT AT MCDONALDS HERE, ITS LITERALLY THE WORST
>>52721906
Actually their ketchup is sweeter
>>52723794
>>52723904
It was an example, I've been to multiple places in Europe recently (London, Vienna, Berlin, Milan) and more longer ago (Paris, Venice, Rome, etc.) and the besides Berlin which was a total shithole which I regret going to, they were mostly nice like Florence in similar ways (nice food and landscapes, nice mueseums for quick trips) and sucked in similar ways (Why is there so many muslims I thought the Syrian refugees being a visible problem was a meme). I was trying to use one city as an example rather than writing a blog on my adventures in Europe.
>>52724380
is American ketchup a bit "spicier"
desu I hate how sweet ketchup is
sometimes when I buy off-brand ketchup (not heinz) the taste is a bit sharper
otherwise I like mixing a little sriracha sauce into it.

>>52724758
>t.
I'm not going to spend a shitton of money to go vacation in a random village in Europe to go experience at best silent animosity at worst open hosility from Europeans.
I visited Galway once and can safely say all of Europe is a shithole
>>52724891
>at best silent animosity at worst open hosility from Europeans.
dawww, I hope the meanie macaronies didn't make you cry
>>52721850
Dear god what a retarded faggot.
>>52724963
No the problem is that is all I would experience. I get that from the people in European cities but I can at least see and do fun things in the cities as in villages to have fun you pretty much require local friends. This is a general rule everywhere.
>>52722599
>real food is better than plastic shite
are you a wizard
>>52725127
I get a feeling that you imagine everything outside of european capitals as villages, 500 people big
what you're doing (capital hopping) is literally the worst way to see Europe
but eh, to each his own
>>52722645
>Canadians subsist entirely on poutine, make syrup, and tim Horton's
>>52722710
I went to a Japanese and Korean McDonalds just to see. Japan has seafood and Korea has the glorious megamac which is a big mac with 4 patties. If course I ate real food but it was there so I tried it
>>52725284
Most people don't have enough money to stretch days or weeks into small cities or countryside unfortunately.
If we lived a few hours from one it would be different.
>>52725703
yeah, here's the thing...
Instead of "seeing europe", you can go to one country for 1 month and actually experience it
So far, nearly all the best experiences I've had while travelling were far outside the big tourist traps. They're called that for a reason.
>>52721906
You have a weak palate.
Our McDonald's clearly uses a higher quality beef.
>>52725497
I like this american naive humour.
There's some pretty nice McDonald's overseas I wouldn't mind visiting.
>>52725998
because nothing in italy is fucking open from 2-6.
have you ever traveled there? everyone knows this is true. Go try and find a restaurant open during this time in a smaller city. You wont.
leave canada once in a while
>>52726071
>needing to eat between 2 and 6
this is what obese people really do
omg this thread
/int/ never change
>>52726152
maybe he was still adjusting to the new time zone m8
I was in Rome 2 years ago and I heard a group of fat Americans discussing about going to Mcdonalds to get something to eat. In fucking Rome.
>>52721850
What did we do this time?
>>52725845
That's great besides that people have jobs, bills to pay, etc.
Leaving for a month is completely unrealistic for most over 25.

>>52723408
McDonalds is the bottom of the barrel even among junk food. I cannot think of a single reason to eat at McDonalds instead of just getting a pizza or gyro or whatever.
>>52726152
That's assuming you actually sleep between 2 and 6, you fucking wog pastanigger retard.

>OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the anger levels and their management in obese patients.
>METHODS:
A total of 103 obese women [51 with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and 52 without BED] were included in the study and compared to 93 healthy controls. They were assessed with the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2).
>RESULTS:
The BDI score is higher in obese subjects than in controls and obese binge eaters have higher levels of depression than obese patients without BED. Differences among the three groups can be found in almost all subscales of the EDI-2, even after controlling for the variable depression (BDI). For STAXI, the only difference among the three groups, which remains significant after controlling for depression, is the tendency to express anger outside (AX-OUT), which is higher in obese binge eaters. The correlation study highlights the importance of impulsivity in the group of obese binge eaters, whereas in obese patients without BED, the tendency toward anger suppression (AX-IN) is seen.

Doesn't matter.

Every summer and soon permanently.
If you're a tourist in Italy and decide to enter a Mc Donalds '''''''''restaurant''''''''' you deserve to suffocate with the '''''''''food'''''''''.
>>52721850
American fast food chains are better outside of america due to both various regulations and cultural differences.
Literally nothing wrong with eating at McDonald's abroad desu
>>52722599
There are 4 McDonald's in my 100k city...
I eat it once a week and i prefer it over every italian food, and i'm italian.

This
US Mcdonalds has notoriously awful ingredients, so sometimes we're curious what the real deal is like
But fast food goes well with traveling unfortunately especially for single people. Kind of embarrassing to go to a fancy restaurant alone. Also travelers are sometimes in a hurry or on the move, or too poor to eat fancy (tfw). Train stations , air ports and ferry stops usually have only fast food at food courts
I ate a lot of chicken salads at mcdonalds in Europe because I didn't have much money, felt the ingredients were safer than in the USA, and usually the service didn't have a language barrier
>>52721906
I basically lived in Calgary this summer.
Everything tastes the same, but they use non-styrofoam cups for large sodas and it sucks.
Condensates all over, making it that much harder to grip, and leaves water marks if you don't have a coaster, which I never did.
Maybe Trudeau should Canada into 2 0 1 5 and change to styrofoam cups.
>>52724745
isn't this just a matter of tomato sauce vs. ketchup. tomato sauce is always sweeter and less "spicy". less viscous too
>>52725284
No I don't imagine every Euro city outside of capitals as a 500 people big village, I imagine it as every country having a bloated cap, many regional cities that are ~1/2 at best to 1/10th the size of the capital (only 2 or 3 of these if Scandinavia, many more down south except in Greece), and then (discounting suburbs as seperate towns/cities) the small villages. Anything beyond the regional cities is not worth it in my eyes as it costs quite a bit to vacation in Europe and I can't exactly stay for a whole fucking month as you said here >>52725845 because people have jobs and friends back home.
I lived in Italy for 2 years and was dragged to McDonald's by my family maybe 3 or 4 times and it sucked every time. It was just depressing and bland. French McDonald's is very good though in comparison. To answer OP's question, I think some people have trouble adjusting to new cultures and just want something familiar, but it depends on the person.
Guy in ops pic then went on to visit a local trattoria and liked it. It is the md thread which is still up if you want to See it yourself.
