I have always eaten like this, and I'm nothing but a dirty Texan. No utensil switching, and must have one bite of everything on my fork at meal's end! It's like a mini eating game - rationing amongst the serving proportions. I guess I never realized most folks don't do it this way - always too absorbed in my own plate. :)

I'm a McDonald's Around the World girl... Everywhere I go, I need to make sure I hit McDonald's at least once. I loved the Cadbery Egg McFlurry in London and I loved the Greek Salad in Athens along with the 'Country Potatoes' (these awesome spicy wedge fries). In Berlin, I had this awesome apple pie/dumpling dessert with a light vanilla sauce. In Amsterdam, I made the mistake of trying the 'McKroket'- it was a fried meat patty with a curry-type sauce that came pouring out of it. Oh my gosh, I still remember that hideous taste-- it tasted like (what I imagine) wet, muddy, sweaty t-shirt to taste like. BUT-- Amsterdam did feature the best Big Mac I have ever had (the meat was fresh and lightly seasoned) and they had crispy waffle fries.

There's something to be said for McDonald's-- although I wouldn't eat there for every meal, it is really cool to see what local specialties they try to incorporate.

@mschlock - Yes! I've had those, they're made by HARIBO®

they're good!

Looks like I need to set up a Percy Pig export business!

GRAPE! That's what the flavor was!

I found something similar to these at Cost Plus World Market. It may not have been the exact same thing, but the gummy pigs looked exactly the same. The bag wasn't in English and I couldn't figure out what the flavor of the piggies were outside of "incredibly fruity."

Check out your local World Market if you have one -- let us know if it's the same thing!
