McD also does "traditional" breakfast here. Typically, it's two breakfast rolls, plus either ham+cheese or your pick from honey, marmelade and nutella:



For under EUR 3.- including coffee. Popular with older people looking to go out for breakfast but not wanting to pay the prices at a proper Viennese café (can't blame them, really).

I don't care much as I haven eat there in  a very long time,  though I did like some of their breakfast foods when I used to go. This seems an interesting idea though as breakfast is good most any time of day.   :)

I haven't eaten there since I was in my teens.  There are so many other better options.

Big breakfast with hot cakes.

There was a recent scandal involving McDonald's in Taiwan.  Apparently they introduced McSandwiches for take away.  On the left side is what the sandwiches look like on the outside.  On the right hand side is what they look like on the inside :weep:

That's hilarious.  Try that shit here and someone's gonna get hurt.  We don't mess around with our meat/cheese portions.

Asian portions are no where near American ones.  But that has gone too far by any standard.  I actually think that approaches fraud territory.  On a more practical level, who is going to buy that as soon as word gets out?  Certainly McDonald's rely on sales volume and not on fooling people once?

I'd prefer they do the regular menu all day.
I had several sad drunken scrapes back in the day of going to McDonalds on my way home only to find they'd switched to the even worse than regular stuff breakfast menu.
Those eggs are just disturbing....

:huh:

McDonalds makes a big deal about the fact they use fresh cracked eggs for their breakfast menu.


And yes, count me in the "their breakfast menu is the best thing about McDonalds" crowd.

Anyways, McD is struggling in Germany, it seems.

They've actually seen sales decline across the globe.
The chain is in deep trouble.  I was actually telling Princesca the other day that if they can't figure out a way to turn things around, I could see them being bankrupt in a decade or less.

I don't care for the food but I'm very surprised to see them having such big trouble.

On one or two occassions I actually had small bits of egg shell in my McMuffin, so definitely yeah.

I can't see how anyone would think otherwise.

I'm not.  They've done very little to substantially change their menu in recent years, the burgers are of subpar quality, and they face intense competition from fast casual chains like Five Guys, Smashburger, Shake Shack, The Habit, etc., not to mention renewed competition from other chains in their sector like Wendy's that have tried (and succeeded) to revamp their offerings.
