McDonald's
I went to McDonald's again yesterday.
Yes, I know, I'm supposed to be experiencing a foreign culture.
But it was raining. And I was cold. And I had a hankering for food fried in animal fat (they still do that at McD's here) since I don't eat meat. And I never go in the States, so it sort of is foreign for me.
The food: the fries taste like steak (see aforementioned animal fat comment) and everything is offered with a side of fried spinach balls. (Ba-dum-bump.)
The salad was incredible: mesclun greens, etc. with prepackaged olive oil and vinegar on the side, all served in a cracker bowl.
With fish sticks. Because I haven't had fish sticks in ages.
The music: Eminem uncensorsed mixed with Buena Vista Social Club.
The employees: fresh-faced youths who would appear in McDonald's commercials in the States, but never actually work in one. (I think it must be a good job here, as the newest member on staff I saw had been there four years, as evidenced by their nametags.)
