The McDonalds Rule!

Earlier in my trip I mentioned my 'McDonalds Rule' and I feel I should explain this rule that I made up myself. It has two parts to it and includes any fast-food place found in the UK like Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut etc not just McDonalds;

Part One: I am only allowed to have a maximum of one McDonalds/Burger King/Pizza Hut etc meal in any country I visit, no matter how long I am there.

Part Two: I am not allowed to choose anything that can be found on the menu back in the UK so that means no McChicken Sandwiches, Whoppers etc etc.

I think it´s pretty good rule, even if I do say so myself, so feel free to use it yourself next time you´re abroad. It´ll mean you can still have a yummy, treat but also try something new at the same time!

I used it today because we had a really long day travelling from Puno to Arequipa on the bus yesterday and Nads got really ill so, after not eating very much at all yesterday, we just wanted something cheap and cheerful that would fill us up. I decided to have a chicken pieces meal which felt like I'd smuggled a KFC into a McDonalds! I also had a Milky Way McFlurry that was made with an American Milky Way which is basically a Snickers without the nuts. This McDonalds is also the first place I have seen vinegar on my trip and you could pour some into the little cups like you can with ketchup back home, yum!
