Thatâs just the tip of the iceberg.
Sure, you probably know in France that McDonaldâs serves the Royale with cheese (thanks to the famous scene in Pulp Fiction) but did you know that McDonaldâs all around the world offer a number of different items catering to their cultures?
Ok, you mightâve known. But you might not know exactly what they serve.
Hereâs some of your McDonaldâs options in countries all over the world.
AUSTRALIA
Pasta Zoo Happy Meal: Available in Australia and New Zealand, the meal includes 10 pasta pieces (filled with cheese and vegetables) with Zoo Goo (Italian pasta sauce), pair of small plastic tongs, a toy, and a milk drink with a âSipaahâ flavored straw (chocolate or strawberry). It is aimed to be a healthier alternative to the current Cheeseburger or McNuggets Happy Meal. This was added to the menu on January 17, 2007.
Deli Choicesâ: Released in Australia in October 2004. Choices include
âBreakfastâ:Bacon and Egg, and for a limited time Deluxe Breaky Roll which includes bacon, sausage, egg and Swiss cheese with spicy tomato sauce
Lunch: Chicken Tandoori, barbeque Roast Beef, Turkey and Cranberry, Chicken Caesar and Thai Chicken.
BRAZIL
âMcCalabresaâ sandwich has been recently launched. It is made up of a sausage patty and seasoned with vinaigrette sauce. Inspired in a popular street foodsanduĂche de calabresa). The âCheddar McMeltâ (a version of the patty melt ( sandwich) is also available on the Brazilian McDonaldâs menu. This popular item consists of a whole wheat bun, a hamburger patty, diced onions, and warm, melted cheddar cheese.
CANADA
The McDonaldâs menu at Canadian restaurants is similar to that of American restaurants. It contains the traditional food items, deli sandwiches, salads, breakfast items, desserts and a âValue Picksâ menu.
McDonaldâs restaurants across Canada have a âValue Picksâ menu of sandwiches, desserts and more for $1.39 CAD each. Started in Mid 2006, the Value Picks menu has replaced the McDeal campaign, where a sandwich of the day was available for $1.79.
In some locations in the Maritime Provinces of Canada McDonaldâs offers a lobster roll called a McLobster (McHomard in French). In the province Quebec, McDonaldâs also offers poutine which is fries with gravy and cheese. In Toronto, McDonalds has sold pizza called the McPizza in the early 1990s.
Most Canadian locations also feature Toasted Deli Sandwiches: Sandwiches featuring deli meats and vegetables on french or whole wheat rolls.
CHILE
In Chile, customers can add avocado paste to any sandwich, less the McPalta (Chilean Spanish for: McAvocado) whose basis is the avocado paste along with lomito or pork. Cheese empanadas are also sold at all McDonaldâs locations in Chile under the same category as fries.
GREECE
A favorite local sandwich in Greece is the Greek Mac, consisting of two burger patties wrapped in a pita with yogurt sauce, tomato slices, iceberg lettuce and onions. The sandwich is also offered in Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Spain, Cyprus, and Portugal.
HONG KONG
McDonaldâs sells chicken and pork burgers, fried chicken wings and nuggets. In some restaurants, a separate counter sells ice cream and desserts to pedestrians. Some restaurants have a section for the McCafĂ©. Apart from the general menu, it also promotes some other foods seasonally or longer, like spicy french fries, the Shogun Burger (a pork bun served with Japanese Teriyaki sauce and cabbage), Grilled Chicken Burger, twisted macaroni breakfasts, salads, soups, pineapple or red bean sundae, pineapple pies, taco flatbreads with pork, beef or chicken, rice fan-tastic (a burger-like entree with rice patties in place of buns) and many others.
INDIA
Beef and pork products are not served to cater to Indian religious sensitivities. Chicken (that too, only non-Halal) along with fish are the only meat products used.

In India, vegetarian and meat dishes are prepared in separate areas of the restaurant in respect for vegetarians, and cooks preparing vegetarian dishes wear distinctive green aprons.

In late 2006, the Chicken Mystic, LâPtit plaisirs (small pleasures), and 280 gram Recette Moutarde (Mustard burger) were all released.
NEW ZEALAND
New Zealandâs Kiwiburger was a local burger based on what are commonly called âJumbo burgersâ from local fish and chip outlets. It featured a beef patty, tomato, beetroot and a fried egg. The Kiwiburger remained on the menu until 2004 when it was replaced with âThe Bossâ - which features 2 quarter pounder beef patties, but is without beetroot and egg. Due to popular demand, the Kiwiburger was returned to the McDonalds menu in May, 2007.
