I would say farmers market even more so than a grocery store, though I usually do both. Ironically I also love going to foreign McDonalds. Always fun to see what local items they have.

> foreign McDonalds. Always fun to see what local items they have. That's a good point. It's funny for Americans to see beer there, in, say, Europe.

  It's also weird to see lots of "vices" (beer, cigarettes, condoms, etc) in vending machines on the street. Like, when I was in Italy I saw kids buying beer and cigarettes and no one seemed to care!

>Ironically I also love going to foreign McDonalds. I make a point of getting a McDonalds cheeseburger in every country I visit. Austria has the best meat (Germany the worst). Poland tasted like Australia (my home) and the UK burger was the most plastic like. Italy, UAE, and Hong Kong all deviate quite a bit from the "regular" menu but I visited the latter two at the airport so maybe they are outliers.

  Funny because McDonald’s is now featuring items here in the US that are popular overseas. Currently they are featuring a Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger from Spain and a Stroopwaffel McFlurry from the Netherlands.

    They also have a chicken sandwich supposedly from Canada... I'm surprised they didn't bring down the poutines or even fish and chips

I love doing this too as a fun diversion. The McCroquettas and patatas bravas in Spain are my latest favorite. And since McDonald's adapted their breakfast menu to the Middle East a few years ago I'm still astonished by how closely they managed to make their chicken-based ham taste like real pork ham.
