If you love the strange and the new, you'll enjoy learning about 10 exciting international
menu items from McDonald's. These menu items may seem very different to you, depending
on where you live, but they are commonplace in other countries. It's fun how McDonald's
menus vary from place to place. Here's our list of Top 10 Exclusive McDonald's International
Menu Items.
Marshmallow Blueberry McFlurry (Germany)
If you're used to the usual Oreo McFlurry, but wish that you could try new McFlurry flavors
regularly, you may want to head for Germany, where you'll be able to enjoy a Marshmallow
Blueberry McFlurry, for as long as this cool and creamy sweet treat stays on the menu.
Germany has offered some fun McFlurry flavors in the past, including the legendary, but
no longer available, Unicorn Fruit Loops McFlurry. When it comes to the Marshmallow Blueberry McFlurry,
the blueberries cut a little of the sweetness, thanks to their tart flavor, but this McFlurry
is still plenty sweet, due to its marshmallows and vanilla flavored soft serve ice cream.
For those who crave the sweet, rather than the savory, McFlurries are guilty pleasures.
Some delicious McFlurry flavors have been offered at home and internationally. In Germany,
you'll also be able to order a Snickers Caramel or Twix Caramel McFlurry. Clearly, there are
Germans with sweet tooths and they have a fun trio of McDonald's McFlurries to choose
from.
NYC Benedict Bagel (New Zealand)
Want Eggs Benny on a bagel while you're visiting McDonald’s? Well, if you're not in New Zealand,
you won't be able to enjoy this special breakfast treat, which is really a shame, because it
does sound delicious. Eggs Benedict is such a special thing to eat in the morning and
eating Eggs Benny on a chewy, hearty bagel will be a great way to wake up. The NYC Benedict
Bagel features egg, cheese, crispy bacon and creamy hollandaise sauce. It's served on a
bagel that's been lightly toasted. This unique breakfast bagel hasn't yet made it onto the
New Zealand McDonald's All Day Breakfast menu, but it may in the future. Those who want to
enjoy breakfast items later in the day may choose a Big Brekkie Beef Burger or a Chicken
McMuffin. Hash browns and hotcakes are also on the all-day breakfast menu, plus a Bacon
& Egg McMuffin and a Chicken & Bacon McMuffin. What else is cool and interesting on the McDonald's
menu in New Zealand, aside from breakfast stuff? Well, there is a bunless creation called
Loaded Lettuce which is pretty awesome. Bunless menu items are trendy these days and the Loaded
Lettuce is filled with chicken or Angus beef, plus an egg, crispy bacon, and onion that's
been caramelized. It's all wrapped in lettuce to bring down the carb count.
McKebab (Israel)
McDonald's Israel has been making a move towards offering its customers some healthier menu
options that suit national tastes, and one popular menu item was the McKebab. Which,
sadly, doesn't seem to be on the menu right now. A lot of people posted pics of their
McKebabs online while they were on the menu. Some were tourists who were able to get their
hands on these exciting, kebab-based menu items while they were on holiday. Other examples
of interesting fare at McDonald's Israel, which are still available as of now, include
the Veggie Royal burger and the Double Vegan burger. McDonald's is the biggest burger chain
in Israel and it is keeping its market share by evolving its menu to suit the changing
tastes of consumers. There are also a series of beef burgers with America-inspired names,
such as The Big Texas, which comes with BBQ sauce.
Macarons (Australia)
A lot of Aussies refer to McDonald's as Macca's and Macca's is the right place to enjoy delightful
macarons after a meal, or as a delightfully sweet snack. Macaron fans in the USA and Canada
may wish that they could indulge in airy-light and flavorful macarons along with their McCafe
bevies or after fast-food meals. Sadly, that dream is only lived by Aussies, and by tourists
who've touched down in the Land Down Under. If you are considering an Aussie getaway--Australia
is definitely a hot tourist destination at the moment--be sure to drop by an Australian
McDonald's, because they are fun places with a lot of cool and different menu items. Whether
you want to order Chocolate, Salted Caramel or Mango macarons, or other Aussie Macca's
standards, such as Grape Tomatoes, Scones with Jam and Cream, a Ham, Cheese & Tomato
Toastie, or a Big Brekkie Burger, you'll find so many amazing options.
McPatatas (Mexico)
Potato fans who want a break from the usual golden-brown McDonald's French Fries can order
McPatatas instead, as long as they are in Mexico. McPatatas are made from one hundred
percent natural potatoes that are cut into wedge shapes. The potatoes are cooked until
they're crispy and then seasoned. Customers have the option of dressing their potato wedges
in McQueso sauce or eating them plain. McDonald's Mexico reports that adding McQueso sauce to
McPatatas will make them taste "exquisite". Queso sauce is cheesy Mexican dip, so adding
a little McQueso fun to your McPatatas probably will result in one heck of a tasty snack. Of
course, you can also add other toppings, such as classic ketchup. It's up to you. Lots of
people do fast food hacks these days that allow them to experiment with their fast food
items. Hacking menus is fun. So, what else is fun and novel on the McDonald's Mexico
menu? Well, menus change from time to time, but the Mexican Mickey D's are currently selling
a Signature BBQ Crispy Onion burger, a Signature Club House burger and an intriguingly named
McNifica burger.
Veg Pizza McPuff (India)
International menu items from McDonald's have some fun names, including the McNifica, the
McKebab and, from India, the Veg Pizza McPuff. This McPuff has a Hot Pocket Vibe. It's got that
Hot Pocket type of coating and a filling that includes onions, peas, carrots, beans, bell
peppers, and mozzarella cheese. If you're into pizza but you don't always want meat,
you'll probably love the McPuff, if you ever get a chance to try it. Overall, McDonald's
in India offers plenty of amazing vegetarian-friendly menu items, including this one. Inside, there's
a hot pizza puff with a golden-brown and crispy crust, plus lots of veggies and cheese in
an aromatic and tasty tomato sauce. At McDonald's India, customers can also chow down on Cheesy
Rice Bowls, Big Spicy Paneer Wraps and McAloo Burgers with patties made from peas and potatoes. A
lot of vegetarians and vegans in North America have gotten wind of the veggie-friendly options
at McDonald's India locations. They wish that they could try these menu items at home. Sure,
meat-based menu items are available at Indian McDonald's, but the veggie items are just
as great, thanks to their unique recipes and fragrant, tasty seasonings.
Greek Mac (Cyprus)
No trip to the Republic of Cyprus will be complete without a Greek Mac from a local
Mickey D's! If you're into checking out new menu items while you travel, head to Cyprus
and try the Greek Mac, which is like a double burger with a pita bread bun. Dressed in lemon
sauce and adorned with sliced tomatoes, onion, and lettuce, the Greek Mac is a whole new
way to enjoy classic McDonald's one hundred percent beef patties. Lemon sauce and the
pita wrapper make this menu item very different. Most other stuff on the Cyprus McDonald's
menu is pretty familiar, except for the revered Halloumi Muffin and Bacon Halloumi Muffin.
Both of these muffins are on the breakfast menu and they feature Halloumi cheese. It's
a cheese that tastes delicious grilled or fried, and it has a high melting point. The
Greek Mac sounds a little lighter than the typical Mickey D's burger and The Halloumi
Muffin sounds rich and decadent. Are all of these international menu items from McDonald's
making you hungry, or curious, or both?
Sausage N Egg Twisty Pasta (China)
If you want a warm and comforting breakfast in Hong Kong, be sure and head for a local
McDonald's, where you may order Sausage N'Egg Twisty Pasta. This unique recipe is exclusive
to the region and it includes premium eggs, hot chicken or tonkotsu broth, sausage, pasta,
and greens. In Canada and the USA, most fast-food chains that sell breakfast, including McDonald's,
don't offer noodles. In other countries, including Asia, noodles for brekkie are so typical. Learning
about McDonald's menu items from other nations is a great way to expand culinary horizons.
Sure, it's fast food, but it's also a reflection of traditional fare that's pleased locals
for ages, such as noodles for breakfast. It's really not such a bad idea to have carbs like
pasta in the a.m, because there's time to burn them off during the day. They provide
energy. That being said, don't expect to see this international menu item on the breakfast
menus at American and Canadians McDonald's any time soon. McDonald's in Canada and America
do make menu adjustments sometimes, but soups aren't really a focus and never have been.
McDonald's has definitely expanded coffee products for its customers all over the world,
and some international McDonald's menu items offer fancy tea drinks, too. Noodle bowls
just don't seem to be what Canadian and American consumers want from McDonald's.
McBeer (Many European Nations)
This awesome menu item needs little explanation. It's beer and you can order it at a lot of
Euro McDonald's. Sounds good, doesn't it? It's hard to imagine McDonald's locations
in America or Canada getting a liquor license. I could see those fast food joints getting
a little rowdy if alcohol was on the menu. Apparently, Europeans can handle it. They
are able to enjoy a beer with their meals if they're of legal age, and it's not a big
deal that beer is available. Only select nations in Europe have McDonald's with beer
on the menu. Examples include Portugal, Germany, and France. Remember the Royale with Cheese
from Quentin Tarantino's iconic film, Pulp Fiction? That's the Quarter Pounder with Cheese
in France. McDonald's eliminated it from the French menu at one point and people went insane,
so they brought it back. Anyway, you can get that with beer, and you should. Have you
ever brought McDonald's home and enjoyed it with a beer? Does the fast food combine well
with beer, or it is all just too heavy? The issue of pairing alcohol with fast food is
an interesting one. Is beer the best choice for McDonald's grub, or would wine or spirits
be better choices? In Europe, McDonald's doesn't offer all of the booze. It just offers beer.
But you can play around and eat Mickey D's food at home with any booze that you like,
as long as you're old enough to buy booze legally.
Nurnburger (Germany)
If you go to a McDonald's in Germany, you can get a McBeer with a Nurnburger, too, if
the Nurnburger is brought back soon. So, what's a Nurnburger? It kinds of sounds like a famous
race track called the Nurburgring, but it's very different. The Nurnburger is a special
sandwich that includes a trio of sausages from Nuremburg on a fluffy bun. It's the perfect
choice for fans of bratwurst and other German-style sausages, or just sausages in general. The
sausages are mini-sausages, so the sandwich isn't an overwhelming size, but it's still
a hearty choice. Sadly, this specialty sandwich seemed to be a limited-time thing at German
McDonald's locations. It doesn't seem to be on the menu at present. While it's one of
the most famous McDonald's international menu items, we all need to wait for McDonald's
Germany to bring it back and that might happen. In the meantime, we can travel to Germany
and order 5 Chicken Wings, Grid Potatoes, a McToast Bacon, plus the usual burgers and
stuff.
