30 Reasons McDonald’s Is Better Outside The U.S.

We all know McDonald’s sells quarter-pounders, cheeseburgers, and Big Macs nearly everywhere around the world, but they also offer food unique to the local culture. Check out these delicious global McDonald’s favorites you need to taste!


McToast, Italy

@Reddit

This delectable sandwich is made of ham and cheese in toasted Italian bread. You’d never find this on a menu in the U.S. since it is neither fried nor unhealthy enough!


Ovomaltine McFlurry, Brazil

@Reddit

McDonald’s signature recipe in South America is made with the popular Ovomaltine chocolate topping. Like the American Oreo McFlurry, it’s undoubtedly popular because of that unique Ovomaltine chocolate chip topping.


Glazed Pork Burger, Shanghai, China

@Reddit

In 2012, McDonald’s in China introduced two new entrees: the Supreme Pork Burger and the Glazed Pork Burger. These sandwiches are prepared with romaine lettuce and ginger-flavored pork patties.


Prosperity Burger, Malaysia

@Reddit

Alright, Prosperity Burger is usually served up for the Lunar New Year period. There’s a “chicken,” as well as a “beef” variety, and they both come conveniently sliced in two at an angle comparable to the all-American Hot Bun.


McPatatas Deluxe, Argentina

@Reddit

Some people would say, “What? You went to Argentina and ate at McDonald’s?” But look at these.


McEgg, Uruguay

@Reddit

Typically a breakfast sandwich, the McEgg is simply an egg on a bun, with onions and cheddar.


The Double Filet-O-Fish, Japan

@Reddit

If you like the American Filet-O-Fish, you’ll love the Japanese version because you get double the fish!


Ramen Burger, Japan

@Reddit

Kosuke Bistro started collaborating with food trucks, and McDonald’s enlisted their collaboration. They put flexibility and new market expertise into developing unique menus with experienced chefs outside their customer value proposition.


Chicken Big Mac, Kazakhstan

@Reddit

Almaty is home to the first Golden Arches in this Central Asian nation. This Kazakhstani food features a chicken version of the beloved Big Mac for those who are not big fans of beef!


Chicken and Carbonara Pie, Slovenia

@Reddit

 If you’re able to set something comparable to this in front of me – anywhere else on the planet – make it happen.


Cappuccino, Slovenia

@Reddit

Slovenia is the only country on Earth where you’d ask for and get a Cappuccino in a McCafé.


Pumpkin Spice Fries, Japan

@Reddit

Whatever your opinions on PSLs – limited-time specials generally get recognition for all the right arguments… or the bad ones. The question is, do you like nori fries or kelp pasta with spaghetti Bolognese?


The Kiwi Burger, New Zealand

@Reddit

A hamburger with mizuna, beetroot, grilled beef or chicken patty, tomato, lettuce, an egg, onions, mustard, and ketchup.


Frozen Coke, Australia

@Reddit

They aren’t icy but frozen all the way. Australians adore frozen cokes a lot and probably drink more soda per capita than other major consumers worldwide.


Salad, Britain

@Reddit

Yes, this is probably the healthiest option ever. Our friends across the pond offer this meal for those who are health-conscious.


Teriyaki Burger, Japan

@Reddit

You’ll just say: “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Is this filet-of-fish panna Cotta? Could this be tofu?” This is a new sandwich promoted from Yokohama, Japan.


The Tomato-Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich, Japan

@Reddit

McDonald’s in Japan offers a tasty chicken sandwich option complete with mozzarella cheese! Pair it with French fries and a chocolate shake.


Mozzarella Dippers, Ireland

@Reddit

If you love mozzarella sticks, you are going to love this remarkably fast-food treatment from the last Country in Europe! Try this culinary experience and get the best value for your money.


Victor Mac Burger, Egypt

@Reddit

This Egyptian favorite is a large beef burger, battered mushrooms, egg, and mayonnaise.


Bulldog Burger, Colombia

@Reddit

This sandwich is a double McPollo, double cheese, bacon, onions, French fries, and spicy sauce. Ranch lovers will probably be inclined to love this. You may want to ward it off if you’re a ketchup enthusiast.


El Maco, Sweden

@Reddit

El Maco was first developed in Sweden to appeal to Mexican “tastes.” It was advertised as having “a real taste of Mexico” since it had Mexican-like guacamole and a form of salsa.


The Golden Burger, Thailand

@Reddit

Three Australian Wagyu patties and three Macaroni patties are one of the priciest food items in McDonald’s franchises. Served with fancy salt, fries, and milkshakes, its top bun is sprinkled with real gold flakes


Pommes Frites Sauce, France

@Reddit

Like a ketchup packet but with Big Mac’s sauce. Genius.


Poutine, Canada

@Reddit

Ahh…it’s the legendary poutine. Our Canadian friends just can’t seem to get enough of it.


Mac Cheese Burger, Japan

@Reddit

It’s a mac and cheese patty with cheddar, lettuce and BBQ sauce.


Egg Bulgogi Burger, South Korea

@Reddit

BBQ sauce, beef patty, egg, lettuce, and mayonnaise. Also known as a hangover cure.


Desayuno Tradicional, Guatemala

Spicy McCurry Burger, Taiwan

They have 35-cent cones, and their “McCurry” burgers are served with brown pinto bean paste.


McSpaghetti, Philippines

@Reddit

Yes, this is what it looks like… spaghetti in a box.


Strawberry Pie, South Korea

@Reddit

Do you know how McDonald’s in the US has an apple pie pastry? Well, South Korea offers a wide variety of fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
