I like to eat Mcdonald's in any foreign country. always a fun experience. I'm with ya. I like to try it at least once to see how it differs. Japan has the teriyaki burgers, and the UK has veggie burgers that is basically a mushy veg patty fried. They have curry sauce for the fries, as well! I remember seeing that Pizza Hut had a pizza with link sausages (basically hot dogs) baked into the crust. Looked good, but I'm sure tasted awful. You gotta eat the local stuff, too. Japan can be difficult for vegetarians, though you've got to love the international mc'donalds experience..last time i was in japan,,,they had the EIB burger,,,,a shrimp/prawn sandwich,,,yummy!!! new zealand has the mckiwi burger with beetroot and an egg...or the brazilian mcnifico burger (although i don't know what is different about it to a quarter pounder).... i am off to japan in two weeks,,,going to live off of egg salad sandwiches from the lawsons (they make them REAL special) and big cans of mountain dew (you can't get the lovely dew in the uk  )... ahhhh,,,,healthy living... Prawn sandwiches in Japan, too? I thought that was just an English thing...watch a footy match, eating a prawn sandwich...

Mmmm, Ribena - I love blackcurrant anything, but it's not a popular flavor in the States. And British snack foods rule - curry poppadum-style crisps are what I remember fondly.

When in Japan, just go to the basement level of any of the larger department stores and you will find a food mecca. And at great prices too.
