Experienced travelers, knowledgeable in the ways of finding cheap travel options, such as cheap airplane tickets, discount hotel rooms, and cheap vacation packages, are sometimes reluctant to try local food in faraway places. Fear of the unknown can result in tourists missing out on some great meals.
Ironically the same thing can be said about travelers who would not be caught dead in a McDonalds restaurant abroad. After all, their reasoning is that they can get that type of food at home, if they are so inclined.
The truth is that there are plenty of unique McDonalds meals and Happy Meals around the world which have been customized to appeal to the locals.
Among some of the more unique items are; a soup based pasta in Hong Kong, a full vegetarian burger and a vegetarian pizza puff in India, a selection of breads in Brazil, a sandwich with goat cheese in Norway, and a Filet-O-Fish in Japan.
