                Did you know that the most beautiful McDonald's in the world is in Porto? This restaurant is not just another fast food chain. In fact, it is one of the exceptions that stands out for its Art Deco architecture, coming from the former Café Imperial.

                  I guess so, but I still prefer the fish sandwiches. Must say, our are not as posh! ;)

                  But we prefer our own ...

                    Not been in a Mac diddles for many years, must admit I never knew what to order and it always seemed like they were rushing you, everything seemed to be between two pieces of dough and too big to take a bite out of.:biggrin:

                      We tried a MacD about 20 years ago. We found them inedible and although we could not really speak the language they got the idea that we wanted our money back! :whistle: :heehee:

                            I seem to remember reading somewhere that there is only one animal locally that can actually open the fruits so they both rely on one another, one dies out, they both do.
                            Not sure if that is true or not.

                              I have a couple of brazil nuts (the big outer casing) that we brought back form Brazil. The outer casing had little windows cut in it so you could see the seeds inside and then outer casing was polished. They make more money selling those to tourists than selling the nuts. :heehee:
