When on holiday, taking a trip to McDonald’s might not be at the top of your list.
But, in our opinion, visiting an international branch is one of the most exciting culinary experiences you can have.
And why is this you may ask?
Well, not all McDonald’s branches are made the same. There are a myriad of menu variations depending on location, and you’d be surprised at the amount of delicious treats we don’t get to enjoy in the United Kingdom.
From Italy to India, there are some unusual dishes on offer that are sure to intrigue your tastebuds.
Fish & Chips
You would think that traditional fish and chips would be part of a UK menu, but you are very wrong.
The delicacy is actually available on the Greek menu. Included are five fish bites served with a side of small fries and the choice of a sweet and sour sauce or sour cream, and it even comes packaged in a seaside style practical hand-held cone.
Butter Paneer Grilled Burger
Available in Northern and Eastern India this burger is a mildly spiced, grilled paneer patty and covered with a creamy, buttery makhani sauce.
Meanwhile, there are shredded onions nestled in a toasted bun sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds. We want one now.
Chicken Legend
While the Chicken Legend is a staple on our McDonald’s menus, it is made with a difference in Romania.
This iteration is the result of a partnership with a famous Romanian chef, and features a crispy cornflake-breaded chicken patty with a chargrilled tomato sauce, fresh mix of red onion and red pepper and cucumber.
It is then topped off with two slices of cream cheese and two slices of tomato, in a bun sprinkled with corn.
Panzerotti
Want some cheesy McDonald’s goodness?
Well then, look no further than Italy’s Panzerotti, made with Italian tomatoes and mozzarella cheese filled in a warm, flaky pastry.
Spicy Buffalo Chicken Poutine
Poutine is a Quebec delicacy and McDonald’s has created its own version with stringy cheese curds, savory gravy and topped with crispy pieces of 100% Canadian chicken breast, drizzled with spicy buffalo sauce and topped with chopped green onions.
McArabia™ Chicken
Available in Dubai, the McArabia™ Chicken has two Halal grilled chicken patties with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and garlic sauce all held together by Arabic bread.
Rye Feast
Finland’s McDonalds menu looks almost unrecognisable in comparison to ours.
It has a huge selection of beef based options but one that has caught our eye is the Rye Feast.
In between crispy corned beef you will find a juicy steak, cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickles, onions, wonderful McFeast sauce and ketchup and mustard.
Apricot and Cream Cheese Pie in a Cocoa Coat
Fan of a McDonald’s Apple Pie? In Hungary the fast food chain offers a delicious hot pie in crispy cocoa dough with apricot-cream curd filling.
Sausage N’ Egg Twisty Pasta
Anyone for some pasta for breakfast?
McDonalds in Hong Kong offers foodies a hefty breakfast with twisty pasta, fresh grade A eggs from the US, and sizzling sausage, together with hot chicken or tonkotsu broth and other greens.
Mexican Burrito
McDonalds Mexico has the option of a delicious Mexican McBurrito with egg, sausage and tomato wrapped in a soft flour tortilla.
Sounds like the perfect hangover cure to us.
