McDonalds Menu Items From Around The World

Posted by Miss Cellania in Food & Drinks, Travel & Places on July 10, 2009 at 11:37 am



Cultural differences call for different food, so when a food company like McDonalds goes global, the menu items in other countries can seem a bit strange to Americans. Hot dogs or pasta for breakfast? McSpaghetti? Banana Pie? Available at McDonalds in Asia. Beer is served in Germany and France. In Canada, McDonalds has grilled cheese sandwiches and poutine on the menu. Shown is a Kiwiburger from the New Zealand menu, which has egg and beetroot in addition to beef. Link -via Cynical-C

    There was a Big Mac Snack Wrap that was offered a few months ago, but they don't offer them anymore. I liked ordering 3 of them instead of getting a combo, but I guess they were not selling enough so it might have been discontinued. Yeah, all burger joints have Poutine now since it started with Harveys, then I think Burger King was next to make it available.

    Where I live, two nine year olds just burned down the local McDonalds. Seriously. Happened on July 1st.

    Poutine is awesome!

    About 15 years ago I saw a billboard at a Canadian hockey arena for McPizza. I've been waiting ever since for it to come to the US, but it apparently went the way of the dodo.

    Must've sucked.

    In Jakarta, Indonesia, we always eat the fried chicken and rice at McDonald's! ;)

    It was quite good, but people went to McDonalds for burgers, and took longer to cook then the rest of their products. It's not that it wasn't good; it just wasn't feasible to keep producing.

    I'm pretty sure the Poutine in McDonald is exclusive to Québec or perhaps it's also in some select places close to Québec, like everything McDonald serve, it's awful. Well, in Québec Poutine is so popular that even Chinese restaurant have Poutine in their menu.

    Burger King also serve a really similar bas tasting poutine.

    I also remember that McDonald used to sell Pizza in Québec (don't know about the rest of Canada) and as I heard (which is not surprising at all), it was awful too.

    Don't know if you have this in the USA - in eastern Canada there are McLobster rolls on the menu in the summer.

    I want a kofta McArabia NOW.
    I'm an arabic major in college and living in a tiny town in the south is killing my ability to get the middle eastern food I've gotten used to eating in college.

    aaaaaaaaah

    In Canada I tried also the McVeggie for vegetarians. In France they regularly have specials: different recipies marketed as a limited time offer. 280 plain or with pepper, bearnaise, french cheese or mustard sauce, american style, australian style, british touchm canadian wild, whole bread BigMac, BigTasty, chicken mythic, CBO, M, Swiss fondue, Italian 'forestier', So grilled, Too cheese, etc, etc, etc.
    They're usually quite good (especially compared to US McDs...).

    I've never seen the grilled cheese sandwich. Maybe they don't have it in quebec?

    Some of it really does look tasty.
    Why can't we have banana pie or pancetta and chiabatta burgers here?
