You're seriously trying to tell me that a cold breakfast made up of fermented lactose, seeds and mangos is better then a greasy sausage and egg McMuffin and hash browns? What do you do for dinner, put on a loincloth and spear a fish?
McDonalds will always win because it is a comfort food linked to your childhood, probably why it's the number one choice as a last meal for prisoners on death row in the States.
Not just mangoes. Also papaya and rambutan. For dinner, until recently my Chinese flatmate would usually do the cooking but she has had to go back to her hometown to buy her way out of an arranged marriage. So now I usually put on a sarong and try to emulate the recipes she taught me. Or I can dine out, spoilt for choice among restaurants where a filling meal and two large bottles of beer can be had for the equivalent of less than a fiver. The notion of going to McDonald's is only appealing if I am totally smashed out of my skull, which I never am theseadays. But I can still be a good host to you when you come to visit. Splendid excursions await.
And McDonald's sure isn't linked to my childhood. When I started high school in Australia, most of my classmates were raving about it, as if it was something incredibly exciting and cool. So one day I ventured into the local McDonald's and had a burger, fries, Coke and sundae. Fries weren't bad but the burger was revolting. Soft pillowy bun and mushy contents. Sundae was good, in a sugary way. All the decor was nasty shitty plasticy. Nothing very cool or enjoyable about it.
