Italian Mcdonald's

So tonight, my host mom didn't want to cook so she decided we (her, my host brother and sister, and me) would go to Mcdonald's. I knew it would be different from the classic American Mcdonald's, not only because it's common sense that it would be, but because all of the billboards they have here have pictures of coffee and a brioche (It's like a biscuit/roll thing. Basically: bread. Last I checked, in America, they aren't that concerned about super freshness. Anyway, we got there and ordered. They don't have nearly the selection we do in America, but they have the important things: Chicken Mcnuggets and French Fries (they both taste exactly the same no matter what country you are in). People in Italy eat a whole lot more food in one trip to Mcdonald's than in America though. I would have been perfectly content with a few Mcnuggets, some fries, and a drink. Instead, we all got our own sandwich (I had McChicken), our own fries, our own drink (I had regular coke. I would have ordered Diet Coke, but I didn't order for myself), and then the 4 of us split a 20 piece Mcnugget! I was stuffed to say the least, but in Italy, it's almost illegal to finish off a meal without a dessert! They have Mcflurrys here, but they aren't in the class of flavors everyone in America thinks of: M&M, Oreo, Reese's, or Rolo. Their flavor options were: Chocolate, Nocciola (it is a type of nut), Smarties (Don't get excited. Nowhere close to an American version of Smarties. These were like hard and oval-shaped), and Pistacchio (what I had).  They weren't classic Mcflurrys, closer to ice cream and a topping just blended together really quickly. Anyway, my entire meal was tasty, but I am more full than I have ever been at a Mcdonalds. If I had to say what I missed about the American Mcdonald's, I would have to say:
1. Snack Wraps-they have been my favorite Mcdonald's food item since I tasted one a few years back)
2. There were no ice cubes in my drink. I expected that when I came to Europe, and I have never been a big fan of cold drinks, but their ice cubes are the best tasting ice cubes on the face of the planet. I'm pretty sure that that is what makes the fountain Diet Cokes so irresistible.
To end on a happy note, I had never eaten pistacchio before coming to Sicily, and I can now say it is one of my favorite flavors. I still have yet to try an actual pistacchio by itself. Ciao, Lovelies!
