On the fries subject: In Germany, I don't know of any single McD that uses "faked" fries (made of potatoe mash), they use processed potato slices anyway (they are covered with some starch that is made from the paring, which should provide a better crispness).

Winter special is McBakon (which we call McSpeck - in Zagreb and whole NW of the country the colloquial word we use for bacon is a German one, like for many other things).

The fun thing about this is that it is called McBacon in Germany, like in most of the rest of the world (if they know that one at all).

My favourite Burger from McDonals is still the Hamburger Royal TS (tomatoe and lettuce), but that is really by _far_ outperformed by the Whopper from Burgerking.
