Finally I’ve gotten my grubby paws on some Mackers (a local name for McDonald’s that I picked up during my previous trip to Australia).
In the Land Down Under, McDonald’s isn’t quite as American as you’d think…well, OK it is. BUT it still has lots of differences. For instance, they’ve now got McCafe in lots of their restaurants — so, you know, you don’t have to go to that OTHER American chain for your gourmet coffee fix.
The burger joint here also has a limited-time menu with BLTs. For my first trip there in a while, that’s of course what I got. Ugh. Such a disappointment. See that napkin wad up there? It’s because just unwrapping the sucker, my hands were covered in grease. And bacon? Hardly. More like ham. And worst of all…the fries weren’t fresh. Kinda soggy.
Oh, yeah…and expensive, too…well, you know, for McDonald’s. About $4.75 for the sandwich and fries sans beverage.
Hmmm…think I’ll stick to the kebab joints here.
that is more expensive! i had a double cheeseburger and small fries – was good and drinking out of my nalgene today – for a rock bottom price of $2.11 today.
can’t wait to share the golden arches with you again someday!
