I have to say that McDonald's is the only fast food place in Finland which changes their items regularly. Like the fries change; burgers of course; shakes too. Shakes in Finland are plain and always come in three flavors (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry), so i'm appreciating the switch up. Pear, banana, blueberry...🤤
El Maco is best burger in McD if it´s available. Some period there were spicy chicken nuggets and those were great. Haven´t eaten in McD for two years.
@@BoloH. Naah, i like garlic better. Also El Maco is not on sale all the time, but most of the time. I don´t know why becouse it is best burger that they have.
I used to work in a office where we had a McDonald's nearby. We had a lunch restaurant in our own office building, but walking a short distance with colleagues gave some variation. I had very irregular working hours. MacDonald's was open much longer hours than our own lunch restaurant. MacDonald's was also something fairly new in Finland, this was a long time ago. Since then I have learned to appreciate better quality. I rarely visit MacDonald's and Hesburger type fastfood places. Nowadays there are so many different fastfood burger places or something in the same category. They are a cheap alternative, in a way. I didn't feel I get best value for my money from those places. I rather go to a cheap Chinese restaurant and enjoy lunch buffet. At the same price level I get more selection and taste, perhaps also more quantity.
Fishburgers won't sell very well here, I guess that's why they aren't at the list. We finnish prefer fish different way... Also ryebread doesn't fit to be a burger"bun". I eat it at home all the time, and like it, but wouldn't order at a burgerplace. I like Hesburger more anyways. 😅
It has been 25-30 years since my last McDonal’s visit and after watching this, I have not missed anything…I prefer Hesburger. Or a high quality, good local burger place, like one in my hometown, Kotka and one at Nauvo. 👌
McWhatsit is not for me I'm afraid..... I went once, with a friend. Ordering was odd. Then out came a sanwich wrap. I objected, as I wanted a BURGER. Preferably on a PLATE. And there was NO CUTLERY !!! 😮 I'm not a snob, (I've had burgers elsewhere), but that's where I draw the line... 😂❤
Now McDonald's in Finland didn't get very good points. We're such a poor country that they save on everything too. We are proud of our fishing, but even McDonald's can't afford to fish.

Never noticed that about the milkshakes, will have to keep an eye out!
That was interesting, thanks for sharing. I definitely could do without those fries 😂

Mmm spicy nuggets do sound good.
@@FinlandiaDiaries Those sure tasted good whit garlic dip.
Spicy nugs are a reoccurring item, they're on the menu for few months every year. I think El Maco is standard menu nowadays.
And you NEVER take the garlic dip. Take McFeast dip instead.

Buffets here are really good, especially since you get to try all the options. The tea/coffee and dessert at the end is nice too.
We went to this McDs in May. Looking forward to seeing your Hesberger video. Have you been to Cafe Eino or Cafe Art?
Have not, but will have to add it to my list!
1:22 did not expect a terry fox book in Finland !
This was in Raisio, right? That used to be my spot when skipping work lol. 2 hour long lunch breaks 😂
Yes! Great eye 😄
Bonaqua is not Finnish. It's a brand of the Coca-Cola Company. It's available in most of Europe, and some other places too.
Good to know 😅
i ussaly Hesburger if bossile like better mac donalds smaller hamburgers.they burgers still living in 1986 open resturant helsinki.
People going to McDonalds to evaluate foods is beyond me :D
McDonald’s used to sell fishburger.
Hesburger was way better when I lived there.

Or maybe the fish used in the US McDonald's are not up to EU standards.
I've no idea how I ended up here. Boycott MaccyD's please. All the best.
Thanks for stopping by!
Boycott what lol?
@@Bananabear20 MacDonald's aka maccyd's in this part of the world.
Didn't look impressive. No fish filet 🤨. It's the only thing I order from Mcds.
you are clearly american...and you come to Europe to try McDonalds...geesh..give me a break..its garbage everywhere
But could be different kind of garbage!
Girl your disdain for McDonald's is odd. Don't eat it. You act like she just went traveled to a different country for McDonald's. She lives there! 🙄
If I found a Hesburger in America, I would still try it.
