Though pork patties are pretty much unheard of at McDonald’s back home, they actually pop up on several international menus (most notably in Germany, where the McRib is a permanent item on the menu).
I recently tried some pretty bizarre stuff at McDonald’s in India, but somehow, I think the salad I tasted in Denmark was the most un-McDonald’s-like thing that I’ve ever had.
McDonald’s in Hungary has a pork burger called the Pig McFarm, and it’s actually pretty interesting.
You can’t go wrong with fried cheese. There’s something about the gooey/crispy contrast that’s always going to be satisfying.
I went to McDonald’s. In Brussels. For real this time! I saw the Golden Arches and everything, so I can say with a reasonable degree of certainly that I wasn’t tricked into going to a different restaurant (again).
McDonald’s in Greece might have one of the most boring menus of any McDonald’s in the world — it’s pretty much exclusively the usual suspects. Oddly enough, they don’t even have the Greek Mac that I tried in Cyprus.
There’s only one thing on the menu at McDonald’s in Cyprus that’s particularly interesting, but it’s a doozy: the Greek Mac, which is essentially McDonald’s take on a souvlaki wrap.
McDonald’s in Jordan is basically the opposite of what you’ll find in India. India was a veritable cornucopia of quirky menu oddities. Here, on the other hand, all they have are the usual suspects (Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, etc.). There’s a couple of different burgers and chicken sandwiches on the menu, but nothing particularly interesting.
I recently had a layover in the Oman airport, and I noticed that they have a McDonald’s location in their food court. I wasn’t even particularly hungry, but I mean, obviously. Bonus McDonald’s Around the World post? Don’t mind if I do!
Yes, I went to McDonald’s in India again. The menu is so odd; I can’t help myself! I may have a problem (this is the last time, I promise).
