I do not understand the Euro kebab obsession. I have tried to like them but no luck. They gross me out. I stick with turkish pizza ( or McDs) when looking for something cheap.

Though with our inflated prices and rising costs, I no longer get as bad sticker shock when in Europe. I noticed last trip, a lot of stuff is actually cheaper now. ):

Sausage Macs, only thing I eat from McD’s. When they are on sale I buy them by the bag full and freeze them. Pop em in the microwave and mmmmmmm.

I've noticed though that their menu is now nearly impossible too decipher.

I, too, have noticed the weirdness in quick service menu displays. The worst ones are video displays with no printed version at all. The only intelligible part is the dollar menu, which is fortunate because that's all we order from. Actually, some of the items I order have not been on the menu for years (as far as I can see), but are still available. It's like there is a grey market menu for those of us oldies who stubbornly avoid the latest fad foods.

“In Hong Kong their menu is quite localised — even have noodles!”

My sis works for multinational bank in HK and whenever I visit her, I did notice that as well. Even in the Philippines, noodles or pansit’ has been part of the menu for many years. They just know how to adapt locally.

In France they hide their M symbol and make their outlets a little more "artistic"

What do they call a "Quarter Pounder"?
