Joke probably worked better 10 years ago when McDonald's wasn't priced like gourmet dining.

Well, here where I live, McDonalds IS the weird overpriced restaurant.
Judging by your instance that's wishful thinking... Not saying maccas isnt garbage but it certainly isnt exotic or unusual here in Germany. I give you the overpriced part though, they went right along with the covid greed pricing.
I knew they call McDonald's "Maccas" in Australia, but I didn't know they did so in Germany too.
Actually we call it Mecces, Mäckie or McDoof (like McDumb).
I didn't mean weird in sense of exotic, more weird as in the atmosphere in there is kinda weird. To be fair, Burger King has a kind of similar weird atmosphere.
But yeah, it is expensive af. It was even before Covid.
I did this exact thing when visiting Europe on a $50 a day budget (early 90's). I'm admittedly a coward when it comes to trying new foods and didn't want to pay for something I didn't like. Rarely do I eat McDonald's here in the US
When I visit places, tasting the food is a big part of the interesting experience to me.
Just be careful about food safety. I also like to try local food >.<
Americans really worry too much about food safety.

I'm from Germany though. Look at my instance URL.
Edit: And as I implied I've experienced the aftermath of not being careful :(
