>Unless it has changed, the meat in the McDonalds restaurants in Germany is not the same as used in the McDonalds restaurants in the U.S. Back in 1985 I went to a McDs in Wurzburg to get an 'american hamburger' and was surprised to find out that it didn't taste the same because the meat supplied was Germany of course.

When we were in Switzerland last month, McDonald's was doing a big campaign about how many of the ingredients they use there (beef, grain, potatoes, ...) come from Switzerland. It was a pretty clever campaign and we saw signs in both German and Italian in our travels.
