David's Israel Adventure

This blog will chronicle the adventures of me, David Weinfeld, as an Otzma fellow in Israel, from August 21st, 2005 to May 29th, 2006. I hope this is as exciting for you as it is for me (though that would be a tad bizarre, now wouldn't it?).

Another McDonalds Experiment

Went to Mickey-Dees with Josh and Ben for dinner tonight. Josh had the McSchwarma (I had a bite, but that doesn't count on the tally), Ben got a couple of burgers and I had the McRoyale Hareef Esh. In Israel, the quarter pounder is the McRoyale, not the Royale as in France, as immortalised by Pulp Fiction. Hareef Esh means "Spicy Fire" and let me say that this burger was big, probably bigger than an American quarter pounder, but it was just too spicy. Also, there was no cheese, as I didn't ask for cheese and kind of just assumed they would put some. That sort of annoyed me, but I guess it was my mistake. The fries were good though. See, I have this temptation to always order "Flavor of the Month" or those equivalent type meals, as well as local meals like the McSchwarma. But I should have realized that hot and spicy is not McDonald's territory. That's much more of a Wendy's thing, and Wendy's never made it to Israel, and now Dave Thomas is dead. Anyways, next time, I'm going to order a standard order, like the Big Mac or the McRoyale (without Hareef Esh), or the McSchwarma.
