Their international offerings doesn't look anymore appetizing than the domestic menu. McD always look unnatural. I still would rather go to the local non-chain eateries when traveling. What's the point of going to other countries if you're not going to sample their local specialties? I'm reminded of a time when I nearly got dragged into a McDonald's in Switzerland by fellow American tourists because of unexpected high prices at other restaurants. (Prices average about 30 CHF or 33 USD per entree and a 12oz bottled water costs 4 CHF or a bit over 4 USD.) With the help of a Canadian and an Australian in our tour group, we managed to steer ourselves back to the nice Swiss cafe for better food.

Ā Ā French Fries is something that very much exists outside of North America, even if the name isn't always the same. In France they're calledĀ pommes de terre fritesĀ or justĀ pommes frites, which is what we call them here too. The Brits call them chips, the Dutch serve them with mussels, the Belgians claim it ought to be known as Belgian Fries (and also eat them with mussels, and probably will claim that's theirĀ thing too), the Germans boringly decided to kind of use the French word but made it sound a little more Deutsch,Ā Fritten (or just 'Pommes'),Ā rather than going for the much better wordĀ KARTOFFELKNĆPPEL. But they're not called 'French Fries' just for funsies, it's actually a French dish (or Belgian, but as everyone knows, Belgium is just a suburb to Luxembourg so who caresĀ ).Ā 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the potato comes from the Andes region (known as Tawantinsuyu in Quechua). In QuĆ©bec we take fries, pour gravy on top, then add cheese curds. There are many variations but those are the basic elements. We call this poutine (put-sinn, not poo-teen). I also find it odd how some people say North America, because they assume, for whatever reason, that it's shorthand for the USA and Canada together - not understanding that North America includes Mexico (as well as Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Panama, etc).Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I will give you the first part, multiple pictures in the same outfit, but this notion that including others in our shots is a bad thing is nonsense. Not everyone logs on to just stand around in their private space alone. No reason our pictures should not reflect the social aspect of the platform.

And that's precisely the point.Ā You can get "French Fries" in many places around the world but it's here in North America (primarily the US, although I have had French Fries in Toronto and elsewhere in Canada) where they are called French Fries.Ā Thanks to movies and the Internet, you can walk into a shop in the UK and be understood if you ask for french fries, but you'll still be regarded as a bit of an idiot.Ā Ā 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
