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.

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. The Big Mac is replaced by the Maharaja Mac, which was originally a mutton burger, but is now a chicken burger. 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.

NEW ZEALAND New Zealand's Kiwiburger was a local burger based on what are commonly called ‘Jumbo burgers' 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 “The Boss' - which features 2 quarter pounder beef patties, but is without beetroot and egg.

Also unique to the Filipino menu is the Burger McDo, a ground pork burger served with a Thousand Island dressing like sauce to cater to local tastes. Also sells “Rice burgers†chicken fillet or beef burger served in rice toasted to shaped like buns. POLAND In Poland, there was a sandwich offered for a brief while called the “McKielbasa.†It was not very popular and soon withdrawn from the menu. SPAIN Chilled gazpacho is served in sealed plastic cups. After viewing a lot of the international sites, I've come to the conclusion that Poland has the coolest site and the Volcán de Chocolate from the Argentina menu is the dish I want to try the most. Although the Tamago Burger does look tempting. Info collected from mcdonalds.com, this article, and the McDonald's Wikipedia entry. The photo I found is from the McDonald's Japan website, but this site had a few other McMenu items.
Pretty far out. I like the vegetarian vibe at the Indian ones...probably the only Micky Dee's I would still go to.
interesting shit dude in amsterdam, we hit up mickey d's a few times, dipped our fries in mayo and was in heaven, even though the thought of it is nasty here they had the Big Tasty instead of thew big mac, and every time we got fast food they asked if we wanted bacon and cheese. they probably realized that we were americans and needed a constant supply of grease and fat to live.
in germany they do the same thing,,, i thought it was nasty also at first,,, but i got used to it,,,, they also make you buy your ketchup packs,,, if you go to the counter and ask for 5 more ketchup packs,, get ready to pull out your wallet... and reading this shit has made me hungry,,, now i got the munchies,,,THANKS !!!!! i wonder if the burgers at the KOREAN MC,DONALDS..... if the patty's are made from dog meat ?
hhhhmmmm....... read the quotes in my sig. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// i wonder what some of these exotic ''happy meals'' would do afterwards,??????
