Europe's so poor, that for us McDonalds is like a gourmet restaurant, big occasion to dress up and go out with family or friends

the burgers are way healthier the the american ones

Umm...no.

Where part of Europe you live?

The rich people buys food at local farmer markets. Because the food contains no chemicals. Accualy its cheaper to buy there than in Mcdonalds or food in shop to make a meal.

Most people in Europe think that McDonalds is the very best of culinary dishes, it's an occasion to get all dresses up and enjoy a fabulous healthy meal

Do they call the quarter pounder a royale with cheese?

You bet they do, they put tons of mayo on the fries, and they serve beer!

lol...you must be an emigrant...likely a Portuguese one

McDo is refered to as "the holy of holies"

Couple of kids at the door the other night dressed in rags and hungry, gave them some bread and dripping, all i had, they went on there way.

Yeah if you're trash. Most poor people eat the basics not fast food.

No way Italians,Greek,Spanish,French would eat there. Mcdonalds is if you are in rush and you need to eat something really fast because its cheap.

Funny fact:

McDonalds Is a Real Estate Company

Most people don't realize it, but McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) is not a burger-flipping restaurant chain; it is one of the world's best real estate portfolios. Franchisees flip the burgers. McDonald's simply owns the best commercial property all over the world.

Really where are you?

The Spanish eat super awesome healthy food tappas style at markets and bars and restaurants open till midnight. Although McDonalds is popular its hardly part of their food culture.

You are right same goes for Italy,Greece and France.

OP is not right.

Those are Royals w/ Cheese not just some smashed up QP : )

Yes I am, European dishes don't even come close to the quality offered at McDonalds, that is why we gather there on a night's out

the Germans put mayo on fries too. always looks odd to me.

I always eat fries with mayo as well haha

Well now this is a contradiction because how can poor Europeans ever pay the ridiculous expensive prices for the junk they got served?
They can't so your statement is bs

I know many restaurants with good quality.

What the good F are you talking about? The only shithole remaining McD's here are a LAST resort for rushed Italians....and we only use local ingredients, not GMO, estrogen/antibiotic laced U.S. shit.

McDonalds, Big Mac Meal prices:

Norway 15.84 USD
Switzerland 12.49 USD
France 7.74 USD
United Kingdom 6.81 USD
Austria 5.32 USD

I see now where is the problem :D

I've been watching benefits brittain and even their poor folk are pretty ok. Just that living on the dole for them is not enough for the places they live in and children etc.

I didn't even think most of them knew they would be out of work. The poverty over there is nothing compared to how poor people live over here, even though they are more there. Just that the poor here try to live like rich so they become more poor, instead of working to plant your own food and making your own clothes. I think poverty is a state of mind, if people only knew that nothing is stopping them from being self sufficient in everything. Accomidation is all we need really. But the system made them dependant now they can't break free.

2.37 USD in Bulgaria
Ukraine - 1.20 USD
Russia - 1.36 USD

Oh, but that's just the Big Mac, not the meal...my bad

Do they take walk-ins, or is it reservation only now?

You need to book at least 3 months in advance.

Yeah op is right. We save to go there for christmas!
