I have totally developed a taste for mexican food since moving down here! It's funny since my first job ever was in the kitchen of a cali-mexican restaurant in vancouver... there are way better mexican restaurants in the u.s. :) I couldn't even name one in Toronto!

and yet McDonalds in the US doesn't have lobster sandwiches, but McDonalds in the Maritimes does. And you can get Poutine in McDonalds in Canada, not in the US. Fast food menus are regional. Even world wide chains.

I used to work for Domino's here in NC, and the menus here are different than from where my Mum lives just outside of Toronto in Whitby. There's not a single "special" pizza on their menu that has less than 4 toppings. The menu from NC to Wisconsin is even different (having taken a tour of several WI and MN franchises last year).

Just depends where you go. In Regina there's more Ukranian population and food. Perogies are a staple. Here in Morganton NC, I can't find a perogie to save my life! And I'm too bloody lazy ot make my own from scratch. ;) I miss perogies!

Lobster sandwiches, never heard of those at McDonalds!

I've found frozen perogies at Wal Mart and Kroger in Kentucky, they're not bad... not the same as the original, but good for a fix :)

I think McDonald's has regional food choices. When we traveld to Maine every year, they'd have lobster sandwhiches there.
