      McDonald's has the better burgers. Or at least they offer much more variety. They have special "weeks" dedicated to some events/countries/.. where they sell special burgers and stuff.
      At BK you get the same every time. At McD at least there is the chance to discover a new taste
      I just hope McD will do their Greek-weeks again. The McKropolis was one of the best burgers I have eaten so far.
      Or when McD sell Potato Wedges mhmmmm with sour cream dip mhmmmmmmmmm
      They should include them in their standard repertoire

        As for the McDs V Burger King quality thing - they both do good and bad batches. For me the key thing is to order when they are fairly busy - the fries being replaced regularly. But not so busy they have had to undercook them. Tourist traps do horrible things to quality control...

          Well Evil, that sauce is mayonaise, but there is a wide array of sauces to plunge those fries in, for example, ketchup, or samurai sauce!


          Besides, at least we have good chips (you call fries chips, but we call this chips (don't know if you do too though))

          in the uk there is only filth such as onion 'n cream, cheese and onion, prawn cocktail (OMG ) and horrid stuff like that...

          It really strikes me how big the differences are between belgium and the rest of the world in the candy section...
          looks like nobody will ever match our candy superiority

            They are crisps.

            We have a HUGE variety. Name it and we've got it, almost.

              Why were they called french fries in the first place. Surely the french couldn't come up with something that good.

                chips are okay with paprica or regular salted

                vinegar were the worst nightmare. We ate 2 or 3 and then trashed the rest...
                never again

                    Onion and cream is more a Pringles thing. You forgot such delights as Worcester Sauce, Tomata Ketchup, Four Cheeses and Hedgehog. The last is very rare though. We've got everything else you've got in crisps (or chips).

                    Yeah, maybe one day you'll catch up with the Swiss.

                      Spoken by someone who must be tterly unaquanted with french cheeses or cuisine.

                          Hurrah for British crisps, even if they're mostly made by Pepsi.

                            McD has more variety if you look at the menu, but really, they all taste same... They got something they call Flatbread Chicken as a drive in Sweden now tough, it tastes pretty good... And they had this "Jätteburgare" (in english probably called something like "really large burger) which at least didn´t taste as all the other burgers...

                            Now, the really sad part about McD, at least in Sweden, is that they got the best quality on the meat etc than any other fast food company, and still - they fail completly in making it taste good...

                              Oi, what about our famous Vanilla flavoured Monster Munch. Its our equivalent of your 'pissing' statue

                              Still, lets be friends, french-fries/chips/pommes were invented in Dundee (allegedly) but the best candy does indeed come from Belgium.

                              Also we have those 'wonderful' thick chips that come in all shapes and sizes, dunked in delicious runny brown sauce.... To quote Freddy Mercury, "Sheer Heart Attack!
