Poles love to laugh about how americans eat this and that, cheeseburgers every day, but I can guarantee you that if you added up the calories in a big piece of kielbasa with bread and butter, cheese, etc., it's got at the very least as many calories as a big mac and fries. they laugh at McD's food because it's this funny American commercialized thing, but because kielbasa falls under their "traditional food", it can't be critiqued or it's nutritional value questioned.


Strange but true: a Big Mac in the US has nearly 10% more calories than a Big Mac in Poland (540 there, 495 here). Portion size I guess.

Medium fries there is 380 calories and here it is 340. A medium Coke there is 210 calories but here it is 170 calories.

There are places in Warsaw where you can see more than one McDonalds from the same spot. KFC is a first class demon. Those wraps are quite popular...chicken and lettuce - healthy, right? Well, BREADED chicken, some nice CROUTONS thrown in...don't forget the wrap. Starch, starch and more starch...not to mention the oil.

You know, the thing that really bugs me about McDs being all over the fricking world is that these are some of the worst hamburgers America produces. Not the best, or second best, or third best...probably not fourth or fifth either. If we're going to foist our junk food on the world, at least make it the best of the breed. There IS one Burger King in Warsaw, but you've got to go up twelve escalators in Golden Terraces to get there. Rolling Eyes

There are two. The other one is in Arkadia, next to McDonalds and KFC.

If the three escalators at ZT are too much, take the one which goes straight to the second floor and then take one to the third floor.
