Alright guys so today is our last full day in India and it is lunchtime.
So we've decided we're going to go to McDonald's.
McDonalds.
Mc D's.
Of all places to have it in India.
I mean they have a very unique menu so we're looking forward to trying that out.
And while we were traveling with my parents we didn't make a lot of food videos so we're
just kind of going with an easy one here.
Yeah but you know what?
This is going to be a cool meal because Indian McDonald's has items that you wouldn't find
anywhere else.
Most of it is vegetarian.
Yep.
It has kind of cool names.
So we're going to order a whole bunch of different stuff and show you what it looks like.
Let's go check it out.
(Ordering)
So we just got in trouble because apparently you are not allowed to film where they are
preparing food or film any of the signs with the menus.
But hopefully it is not an issue to film the food and show you what it is like because
once we're paid for it it is our food.
And there comes the food.
Here it is.
Dun dun dun.
I'm kind of excited about this meal.
Hahaha.
I know.
And we ordered a little bit of everything.
Like that is a big order right there.
Alright guys so 1st things first.
We're going to start with our drink so it doesn't melt.
Yeah so what did you get?
I got a float with coke.
So it basically.
A coke float.
Basically it is just coca cola and then you've got soft serve ice cream.
So yeah that is.
That is something that I would have loved as a teenager.
Like whenever I could get a float with vanilla ice cream and pop.
Oh man that is good stuff.
How is it?
You know what?
That really works.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You should take a sip as well?
I think that was mostly ice cream.
It just like it tastes so good with ice cream but it also changes the taste of the coke
a little bit.
Yeah, it is just really good.
I'm starting off with dessert over here.
Oh la lah.
Mmmm.
I have to say it doesn't look all that appetizing on camera especially now that that ice cream
melts.
Now it is starting to be submerged under the coke.
It is like a submarine.
An ice cream submarine.
It tastes pretty darn good though.
So what are you starting off with?
Alright, well I got myself the McSpicy Paneer Passion.
So let me read this to you.
It says creamy, spicy, crunchy paneer.
Crispy on the outside tender on the inside.
The all new McSpicy Paneer is here to spice up your taste quotient.
Topped with a creamy sauce and crispy lettuce.
Your taste quotient.
Oh my.
To soothe the spice.
Maybe that needs to be new vocabulary for us to describe food.
Our taste quotient.
Alright, that sounds pretty academic.
So let's lift this up.
Oh wow look at that.
There you have it.
The McSpicy Paneer.
So to me honestly it looks pretty simple.
It is just a bun and you have your Paneer which is like cottage cheese and it has been
breaded and then it is just shredded lettuce and a bit of sauce on top.
So pretty simple.
Let's see how that tastes.
Mmmm.
Can you see it?
How is that paneer?
It is spicy.
It lives up to its name.
Oh my gosh.
Cough.
It is spicy.
Oh wow you can really see the paneer.
Oh man.
It doesn't help that I have a cold.
So I was already coughing before I started and now it is like on fire.
You're struggling.
You probably should we should have started you off with the fries huh?
Yeah.
Do you like the taste though?
It is good.
It tastes good.
You can see the cheese right there..
Yeah, you really can.
It is like a soft white cheese but man you need to try this to see how spicy it is.
I don't know if it is like the coating on the paneer or the sauce itself but it burns.
So I'm sharing the paneer with Sam.
Let's see if he can handle the fire.
Alright let's try this.
Mmmm.
It is really crunch on the outside.
Oh wow.
Alright that spice is hitting me.
Oh my gosh.
That is a delayed onset.
It really works.
Oh man.
That is spicy.
I know.
But the way that it is crispy on the outside but then it is thick enough and it really
is like a substitute patty for beef or something else that you would normally have.
Yeah, it is thick enough that it works as a sandwich.
It is pretty cool.
I'm having another bite.
I liked it.
I didn't think I would because it only had lettuce and I thought it looked plain but
it is actually really good.
So next up we're going for the Maharaja Mac.
Oh la lah.
And I'll read it out to you.
Two perfectly flamed grilled chicken patties topped with cabanero sauce mingled with fire-y
Jalapeños.
Juicy tomato round bills and crunchy onions.
Wow they really have a way with words in India to make this sound wonderful.
And then they get then they blend with delicious cheese and fresh lettuce to give you satisfaction.
Big time satisfaction.
Alright.
So for those of you who have had a Big Mac this is the Big Mac equivalent here in India.
Yeah.
So with chicken instead of beef.
Chicken instead of beef.
And you can see that.
It is a pretty big boy.
It is huge.
It is a double decker.
Let's try that.
Mmmm.
Oh wow.
You got just a tiny bit on your cheek.
Just a little bit.
Let's wipe that off.
That's a big gross.
You know what?
That is pretty good.
And I think yeah you know what?
I've been vegetarian in India for over 3 weeks and I just broke that vegetarian streak by
having a bite there.
Was it worth it?
This is my first bite of chicken in a while.
You know what?
It tastes pretty good.
Yeah.
This is actually thicker than some of the Big Macs I've had in other places around the
world so this is a pretty thick burger.
It has got all of the other classic ingredients that you'd find in a Big Mac.
It has got your cheese, it has lettuce, tomatoes and all of that other sauce.
The sauce is very similar.
Really the only difference is with the patty.
And yeah that is the Chicken Maharaja Mac.
Okay so next up we are having the McAloo Tikki Burger.
McAloo Tikki.
McAloo Tikki Burger.
McAloo Tikki.
I like the name of it.
It is so catchy.
Oh wow.
So there we have it.
Look at that.
Tada.
And what is that patty made out of?
So this is a potato and pea patty.
Yep.
And it is covered in bread crumbs and then we also have tomatoes, red onions and a spicy
vegetable sauce.
So this is vegetarian.
It is vegetarian.
It is our second vegetarian burger.
Mmmm.
You know what?
What?
It kind of reminds me of falafel a little bit.
Oh does it?
The colors and the texture.
Look at that.
Yeah.
But you know I find the patty is a little too thin for the amount of bread you have.
Okay.
I wish it were a little thicker.
Like the paneer one.
Maybe some more ingredients too?
Yeah, otherwise what you mostly taste is the bread.
Okay.
But maybe I can just take one of them off.
There you go.
Improvising.
That is better?
That is a lot better.
You can see the potato and the crushed peas in there.
Oh yeah, you really see it now.
Yeah.
Oh wow.
Sam is going in for the McAloo Tikki.
Yeah, my turn.
What do you think?
Mmmm.
Yeah, that works.
You know what?
I would actually like to try that in combination with the paneer one.
I think that would taste delicious if you took the McAloo Tikki and put it on top of
the Paneer one and called that a burger.
That would be amazing.
Well you know what?
We still have some McSpicy Paneer left if you want to try that on camera.
Should we try it?
Yeah go for it.
We're creating our own McDonald's menu.
Look at this here.
So I'm just going to call this surgery here.
Surgery.
So I'm taking this and plunking it down here.
Very serious surgery happening.
Wow this has instantly become a lot thicker.
Look at that guys.
Look at that.
Oh yeah.
That is an upgrade.
That definitely tastes better like that.
Oh yeah.
So aside from the 3 burgers we also ordered large fries.
Yeah and we've been snacking on these in between.
We have.
Have we ever.
So they're almost gone.
But look at the size of this one.
This is the longest one yet.
It is huge.
And these are like this is the one food items in McDonalds that is basically the same anywhere
you have it in the world.
The McDonald's fries are like a staple everywhere.
Yep they don't change.
And they are one of my guilty pleasures.
I love McDonald's fries.
Like I don't eat them very often.
I probably only have McDonalds a couple of times a year but when I do I always make sure
I get like the fries.
They are just I don't know.
They're engineered to perfection.
Haha.
So that was my first time at a McDonalds in India and I have to say that was pretty good.
It was pretty good.
That was my first time too.
So that came to 559 Rupees which is $8.25 US and that included everything.
Three burgers, two drinks and large fries.
So we're leaving stuffed and yeah it was only about four dollars per person for the meal.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
McDonald's in India guys.
