Chinese Food
The Chinese Food in India is some of the best I've ever had. I might be biased, because eating foreign food here is a nice change. Don't get me wrong - the Indian food is spicy and tasty - but a bite of Chinese is always nice.
Also, I would compare the availabity of beef in India, to the availability of Duck or Elk in resturaunts in the U.S. Besides the fact that a large majority of resturaunts do not serve meat at all.
McDonalds Abroad
In Israel, the price structure and quantity of a McDonalds value meal is about the same as the United States. And I believe it's even a little more expensive in Japan.
The local McDonalds here in Mumbai, India has 6 value menu options. 3 varities of chicken, 2 veggie, and one Mexican wrap. The counters are the same, the atmosphere is the same, the cooking facilities and machinery is the same. The McChicken tastes the same. The veggie options are of course unique, and taste Indian.
The price is different. The largest size you can get here, is the medium size you can get in America. Though the pricing structure is different, you can get almost twice the amount of food for the same price in India. (You will pay less than $3 for the largest size value meal). An ice cream cone costs about 25 cents.
Also, they've done something here that I haven't seen at any other McDonalds (or any fast-food resturaunt for that matter) that I've visited. As you are waiting in line, they have an employee write down your order on a form, then you are handed the form, so that order goes more quickly when you're at the counter.

You know what's interesting...there is a Wendy's by my old high school that during the lunch hours they do that with the order forms. Only place I've ever seen it done either...made things run a lot quicker.
