McDonalds Owns. (Products from around the world!)

Postby benji on Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:22 pm

I posted the Japan McDonalds ad in another thread, here's some random stuff served at various McDonalds around the world:

To be honest, if my McDonalds offered these, I'd eat there a lot more often. (I build a delicious sinful meal off the dollar menu once a month or so. What's life without reward? But hot damn if I wouldn't try some of this stuff.)

My favorite is Canada's lame grilled cheese. Fuck Canada. What a bunch of loser fags.

Shake Shake fries. You dump your fries into a bag, sprinkle seasoning on them, and shake. There are several different flavors including seaweed, chargrill, French onion and salt and pepper.


I remember a similar promotion here in Australia with a Mexican theme and a spicy seasoning (I didn't see it in that list but I might have just overlooked it). Wasn't too bad.

I know a number of things not in that list, I just love food, so I was hoping...

One Example: They replaced the "Double Cheeseburger" on our menus with a "McDouble" (same exact thing, one less cheese slice) but if you let them know you're in the know or if you know the person (not as hard as you think in a town with five McDonalds and 25,000 people) you get that extra slice back.

I'm a "historian" so I love the history of anything. Add in food and I'm there. (Culinary Anthropologist? Yes, please.) Like the whole Hungry Jack/Burger King, etc.

Then there's the...what's the name of it...I can't remember, it's where you split a Double Cheeseburger (now McDouble) and stick the McChicken inbetween.

Some of those look really good. Hmmm.

My country's adition would be the McKroket. Which is actually a bit of pretty gross junkfood in a bun.

The Rice Burger is from here in the Philippines. You are all owned.

I always forget that poutine is never served (or at least it isn't called poutine) south of the border. I honestly think my life span cuts in half every time I eat a cup of poutine.

I don't eat at McDonald's very often, but that's what I get whenever I do: 280 grams of pure fat.

Aaaaamen!

Though I tend to avoid McDonald's, but if I need food and I have nothing in the fridge, then I'll grab a junior McChicken and fries. If it's early in the morning, then a sausage egg McMuffin with coffee and hashbrowns work.

I swore to myself almost a decade ago never to go to McDonald's again. A couple of those foreign specialties do look half decent though.

I didn't know you were a "foodie" Benji, do you have any specialty yourself?
I do enjoy cooking quite a lot, it's surprisingly relaxing.

Double quarter pounders are all I get at McDonalds, and thickshakes. I don't go there often. They used to call the DQP (maybe I do) "Footy Burgers" and I think they tasted better back then.

Cooking, as long as what you make is good, is awesome.

I order the same thing except it's hot choco, not coffee that I order.

That spaghetti and rice burger is served in here (Philippines).

Triple Mac. :shock:

That McLobster and shrimp burger looks good and I want the McBeer to be served here!

The McBeer sucks, here in Italy at least. They have Nastro Azzurro, lame commercial overly-carbonated pale lager, tastes worse than Budweiser.

I want one of those Pizza rolls, and all the middle eastern foods look delicious and nutritious :drool:
