We don\u2019t go to McDonald\u2019s often \u2014 actually we rarely<\/em> go to McDonald\u2019s. Living overseas years ago, lots of people that I was stationed with would say one of the first things they were going to do when they got back home, was go to McDonald\u2019s. I never missed there not being a McDonald\u2019s around \u2014 and back then, if you weren\u2019t in the United States, there wasn\u2019t a McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course that\u2019s all changed today and some of the food served in McDona;d\u2019s in other countries seems like I\u2019d be more likely to eat there\u2026.
If you happen to be in Malaysia you can get a Mango McFlurry, made with mango and chocolatey Oreo bits, swirled in vanilla ice cream. And you can also order a Thai Green Curry Chicken Burger \u2014 chicken topped with Thai green curry sauce. It\u2019s served on an oblong bun. The unofficial national dish in Malaysia is nasa lemak. You can get it at just about any eatery, including McDonald\u2019s. It\u2019s rice cooked in coconut milk, served with fried anchovies, fresh cucumber, and fried, or boiled egg. It comes with sambal (made with chillies, shallots and garlic) and a side of fried chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like cheeseburgers and are in India, order the McSpicy Paneer \u2014 it\u2019s a crispy patty made with paneer, a popular cheese used in Indian cooking. The sandwich comes with creamy tandoori sauce and lettuce. A staple of south Indian cuisine, dosa is a thin fermented rice and lentil pancake with a spicy potato filling. McDonald\u2019s in India serves a burger with a turmeric-spiced mashed potato and pea patty and chutney inside a bun. And you can have breakfast at McDonald\u2019s in India \u2014 they serve scramble eggs with herbs and spices on a toasted bun. Interestingly, their breakfast menu also contains plain scrambled eggs, hash browns and hot cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDonald\u2019s in Hong Kong specializes in seafood burgers. The Ebi Burgers contain crisp, juicy shrimp patties. They also serve a breaded fish fillet that often has a pineapple ring on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in Bangkok, or probably anywhere in Thailand, they\u2019ve taken McDonald\u2019s signature apple pie shell and stuffed it with a sweet, salty and creamy corn filling \u2014 it\u2019s called a Corn Pie. Also on the menu is the Kaprao Crispy Chicken dish. It\u2019s fried Chicken in a sweet and spicy sauce, served with rice. And \u2014 they also offer the Samurai Pork Burger, a pork patty covered in teriyaki sauce, topped with lettuce and mayo, served on a bun.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDonald\u2019s in the Philippines serves a cheese Omlet sandwich \u2014 the Cheesy Eggdesal breakfast sandwich. It consists of a fluffy, folded egg, with melted cheese in the middle, in a soft, toasted bun. One menu item the Filipinos consider a classic is Chicken McDo with McSpaghetti. The dish consist of one piece of crispy chicken served with spaghetti in a minced beef and tomato sauce, topped with cheese.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea\u2019s McDonald\u2019s feature a pork burger named the Bulgogi Burger \u2014 a pork patty covered in sweet, sticky bulgogi sauce, served on a bun with lettuce and mayo.\u00a0
The McChicken Sandwich served Saudi Arabian style consists of two haial grilled chicken patties with lettuce, tomato, onion and garlic sauce, served in a flatbread.\u00a0
In Australia breakfast at McDonald\u2019s features the Big Brekkie Burger \u2014 a beef patty, hash browns, egg, bacon, melted cheese and barbecue sauce on a toasted sesame bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when you get back home to the U.S., head to McDonald\u2019s in Hawaii and have breakfast. The Local Deluxe Breakfast is a plate of rice, scrambled eggs, Spam and Portuguese sausage.
If some of these items make it to Shepherdstown, I might add to my recommended places to eat \u2014 now if we could just get a glass of wine to go along with these items\u2026.
