McDonalds
To the average eye there is almost nothing different between an English McDonalds and an Australian McDonalds.
To my eye there are subtle differences.
The meat definitely tastes differently, but not enough so that the normal person could detect.
I can, but I am a hamburger connoisseur, it doesn’t have as much taste as the Australian stores, and seems smaller (even on a quarter pounder by quarter pounder comparison).
In England the fries have almost no salt, apparently you are to salt the fries yourself, if you feel the need.
When you order a meal deal, coke is not automatically put in for you, they actually ask you what drink you want.
The stores look the same, but in England there seems to be way less drive thru options, and most importantly, very few Macca’s play grounds.
This is great, as it means you can eat your putrefied burger in some semblance of peace.
They have newspapers like the sun, and crap of that ilk that, the aussie ones tend to have all papers, even the broad sheets.
Also this was the first McDonalds that I was ever offered pirated DVD’s from a guy who opened his jacket to show me Will Smith and Madagascar.
In Australian stores I have only been offered drugs, booze, sex and a Video player.

Are you sure that’s meat you are tasting differently and not some synthetic meat flavoured product?
Is there still a lone Wendy’s in Soho by that Rainbow Cafe thing?
That kicked arse.
I used to work at Maccas, and reckon I know why….
When overcooked, the meat shrinks and loses some flavour. Considering the 1/10th paddy takes 39 seconds to be cooked, you can imagine the polish kitchen staff could overcook it pretty easily.
Oh, and they crazy cow over there so unless it’s imported beef then your not giving blood again..
Sas, 100% beef, hooves and all.
Richard, haven’t ventured to Soho yet.
Moses, no poles in this maccas, everyone was dark skinned, and i mean every single last one of them.
I was hoping someone would make a mad cow reference.
Jrod, do you suspect the lack of drive throughs is perhaps due to the fact that you are in London, where driving through is rarely an option?
Also, being a south London resident (I believe), have you experienced the casual begging that occurs in Brixton Maccy D’s? Brilliant.
Ne, no doubt that is why there are less, i thought it was so obvious it needed no mention. Yes South London, i went to the brixton one once, but i didn’t eat there, way too many kids, i have a strict policy, i only eat a maccas if there are more humans than children.
I do not understand. How old are you? “I do not understand. How old are you?”? Yes? Tell me a little about why you are in south London, i went to the brixton one once, but i did not eat there, way too many kids, i have a strict policy, i only eat a maccas if there are more humans than children.
I’m 30. “I’m 30″. Why am I in South London, Basra seemed too moody.
