I don't know where Santa Monica and Pigeon Forge are. But traveling around Asia... McDonalds doesn't taste the same between Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand.

Infact Thailand burgers are VERY salty...

I wonder if that's particular to Asia, because I've noticed McDonalds is the same as the US in Latin America (gringo safe space), aside from a couple extra menu items

I wonder if this is an intentional choice to adapt to the tastes of local markets?

I would assume so, Singapore for some reason HATES salt. They don't put salt on fries from mcdonalds, so you always end up with a bag of soggy fries.

Taiwan has burger king burgers with peanut butter on them...

Throw some sriracha on that BK PB burger and that would be _magnificent_.

*Adds "peanut butter and sriracha" to list of improbable combinations to investigate*

You could pretend it was satay?

It is beautiful. Do it. Works best with sweetish-savory items. I first stumbled upon it when I put peanut butter & Sriracha on an omelette filled with pork sausage, bacon, and browned onions / mushrooms.
