Continued Monitoring of the Arches


When menu checking in the Netherlands, for what gourmet idea a McDonald's chef created this time, I was delightfully satisfied after test tasting a "McCrocket". The seafood cake sandwich was a winning combination of fish, cheese, seasoning, breading and a special sauce. I wanted to award a 10, but didn't because of curb appeal, no healthy, green lettuce garnished the food. (9.5)

Believe me readers, McDonald's are designed with love and cultural likes in Europe. They are not stamped out like most in the States. Dutch yellow and blue coloring complimented a smiling Ronald. Children are rarely seen at restaurants except here. We have yet to stop at a McDonald's that is not really busy. Happy kids and parents behave well, don't scream much, put their trash in the can, like generous portions and the 1 euro menu! An American success story! (whose secret weapon is the "special sauce")
