Burger King knows how to please its customers in the craziest ways possible. And while in
America, we all have our BK go-to's, around the world, it's a different story. Here are
the 10 WILDEST International Burger King MENU Items (Part 2).
Chicken Nugget Burger - UK
Sometimes, it can be hard to choose between getting a burger or getting chicken nuggets.
They're both delicious and satisfying, especially from Burger King. Well, if you happen to be
visiting the UK, you will never have to make that choice ever again, because, yes, Chicken
Nugget Burgers are a thing over there. It's pretty much your classic burger, a hamburger
bun with lettuce, mayonnaise, and spicy sauce, but instead of a beef or chicken patty, you'll
find their tasty chicken nuggets between the buns. Basically, it's a chicken burger, just
a little fancier and more fun. There’s also a version from Burger King Germany, and this
one is offered with a generous serving of barbeque sauce. Could you just imagine if
the spicy nuggets were still on the menu? It would be an even bigger deal! If you're
ever curious as to what this Nugget Burger tastes like, you'll be happy to hear that
it's pretty easy to recreate here in America - just ask for nuggets in your burger! You
can even ask for them to be added along with the beef or chicken patty, you know, to make
it even better. Or if you're really curious, then just hop on a plane and go try one out
for yourself; you'll probably be quite content with your decision.
Pumpkin Burger - Japan
Is pumpkin the new bacon? Well, Burger King Japan certainly seemed to think so back in
2012. By now, we can all agree that the menu offerings in Japan are anything but boring
and predictable. Their avant-garde vision allows for them to come up with all sorts
of new items, like the Pumpkin burger for example. Forget about that pumpkin spice latte;
you could literally get a burger made with it! This burger consisted of a beef patty,
bacon, lettuce, a creamy nut sauce with sesame seeds, peanuts, almonds, and so on. But to
top it all off - two slices of kabocha (commonly known as Japanese pumpkin.) And the best part?
The bun was kind of even shaped like a pumpkin! This "Harvest-time" burger was offered only
for a limited time, but it wouldn't be surprising if it eventually was put back on the menu. The
pumpkin obsession was reaching new heights that year, and well, pumpkin was appearing
in everything. If two slices of pumpkin on your burger weren't enough, there was also
a Pumpkin Bomb, which was basically just a serving of 10 slices of pumpkin. This way,
you could just order pumpkin slices and put them on any burger. Perhaps pumpkin mania
will be enough to bring this weird yet interesting creation to America one day!
Garlic Meat Beast - Japan
Some people live by a very simple motto: there is no such thing as too much garlic. Unless
you're a vampire, of course. You can literally put as much garlic as you want on anything,
and it will never be too much. Therefore it only made sense for Burger King to come up
with the Garlic Meat Beast in Japan. As part of their promotion of garlic as a stamina-replenishing
food, BK Japan released two garlic-themed burgers during the summer of 2013: the Double
Garlic Cheese and the Garlic Meat Beast. The Garlic Meat Beast was nothing if not true
to its name. Everything about this beast was either meaty or garlic-y. The gigantic sandwich
featured a Quarter Pound beef patty, a massive piece of teriyaki chicken breast, as well
as a pork patty, all smothered in fried garlic slices. Everything was garlic-seasoned and
covered in a creamy garlic sauce. Oh, and let's not forget the scallion-miso sauce,
lettuce, tomato, and onion it came with. While this came out years ago, it still generates
buzz to this day - and how could it not? It was sure to satisfy any avid garlic lover
while keeping away any unwanted suitors, vampires, or undesired close encounters.
Pepperoni Bacon Whopper - Canada
Our neighbors from the Great White North usually have pretty similar menu items as the U.S.,
aside from a few exceptions, which are usually the tastiest. Burger King Canada once offered
a Whopper that looked so delicious; we wished we had come up with the idea ourselves. The
Pepperoni Bacon Whopper was the 1 million dollar idea that made every Canadian drive
right to their local Burger King to try. It featured the classic Whopper toppings like
lettuce and onions, but it was also topped with bacon and eight bright red and lightly
smoked pepperoni slices for an extra-meaty twist. It was the perfect combination of two
very popular types of meat and we can't help but mention how successful it would be in
the States. It also proved that you don't necessarily need a bunch of fancy ingredients
to make a tasty Whopper. Sometimes, one additional item can be plenty. While yes, it might have
been a little heavy, it was a huge hit. So much so that Burger King even brought it back
to the menu one more time, even after they said it was only supposed to be available
for a limited-time! This burger sounds like a real winner!
Meatatarian Burger - New Zealand
For any vegetarian, this definitely was not the right kind of burger for you. But, if
you were one of those that somehow didn't have enough protein between your buns when
you ordered a Double Whopper, then the Meatatarian burger was right up your alley. What looks
like a not-so-subtle wink to vegetarians, the Meatatarian Burger from Burger King New
Zealand made its debut in 2016 as a limited-time offer. However, it was such a big hit that
it was later turned into an entire menu called the “Meatatarian Menu." Customers could
choose between three options; whether they wanted their burger half meaty, full meaty,
or chicken bacon meaty. The Full Meaty was, as you probably guessed, the biggest of the
gang and wasn't shy with its toppings. It came with two burger patties, along with
one crispy chicken patty, six strips of bacon, two slices of cheese, onion, and some tangy
barbecue sauce. Basically, everything to never make you say you're craving meat ever again. Now,
just because the other options were smaller doesn't mean they were any less tasty - it
just means that they were probably a little less of a health hazard. While the Meatatarian
sounds delicious, it's probably for the best that it was only around for a short period
of time - it probably would've too much competition for the other less "meaty" burgers.
Bacon Lover - France
The name says it all: a burger made for those who can never get enough bacon. Bacon, in
general, has received quite the popularity boost in the last few years and seems to have
gained an almost cult-like following - not that anyone's complaining, of course. So,
what could be so special about this burger compared to any other bacon burger? Well,
Burger King in France and Switzerland made sure to come up with a unique, delectable
recipe to give customers the ultimate bacon experience. Burger King Switzerland even
warns customers on their website that "Lovers of crispy bacon beware: The Bacon Lover has
everything that makes your heart beat faster," and it really does. The bacon lover contains two
flame-grilled beef patties, along with the regular toppings like tomatoes, onions, cheese,
and obviously bacon, but the real deal comes from the bun. With the two bacon-studded buns,
you can't help but feel overwhelmed by the crispiness and the extra saltiness you never
knew you needed in your life. Sadly, it looks like this once-in-a-lifetime offer was discontinued
and can no longer be purchased. If you're really determined to recreate this beauty,
you can always ask for extra bacon on the side to sprinkle on your bun. It might not
be the same, but at least you'll get your daily dose of extra bacon. While it may not
be the wildest burger ever seen, it sure sounds like one heck of a delicious deal.
X-tra Long Burger - Germany
In some European markets like Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands, some menu options from
Burger King leave us wondering why we don't have that over here. They always have ingenious
new items, each one more delicious than the last. With vast menus like that, it's hard
not to get jealous. There's one item that we particularly wish to bring from overseas
to our BK menu, and that's the X-tra Long Burger. The name kind of speaks for itself;
it's a burger, but just ridiculously long. The big sandwich consists of three all-beef patties
laid out horizontally on a long sesame seed bun. The toppings? Well, the possibilities
are endless. There's the Chili Cheese, consisting of the same three patties with chili-cheese
sauce and jalapeños and is offered in all three countries. Then there's the Rodeo BBQ
version - only available in the Netherlands - which is served with barbecue sauce, cheese,
and onion rings. While these meaty European sandwiches sound heavenly, the Asian market
also has its fair share of X-tra Long burger varieties. For instance, in Malaysia, there's
the X-tra Long Cheese Supreme, made with A1 steak sauce, mayonnaise, and cheese, and in
other parts of Asia, they have the American Extra Long Chicken Burger, which is a regular
chicken burger, but, again, with three patties. It seems like the X-tra Long burgers are taking
over the world!
Veggie Bean Burger - Malta
Since we've talked a lot about meat so far, let's look at the relatively new vegetarian
side of fast-food offerings. While fast-food is generally more for the meat-eaters of this
world, there are still some options available for vegetarians - or simply for when you don't
feel like eating a fatty burger. At Burger King in Malta, the Veggie Bean Burger is a
pretty standard burger; only it contains no meat! The two patties are made from kidney
beans, vegetables and coated in crispy breadcrumbs. It also comes with fresh-cut lettuce, juicy
tomatoes, cheese, ketchup, and mayo, served on a long, toasted bun. Burger King has received
a lot of customer demands for more vegetarian options, and so the Veggie Bean Burger was
obviously welcomed with open arms. A lot of fast-food chains are usually slow when it
comes to adding dedicated vegetarian options to their menus, but thankfully, Burger King
listened to their customers. The Veggie Bean Burger was made to replicate the BK "flame-grilled
taste" as closely as possible, and it's safe to say, it's pretty darn accurate. Burger
King has even given the green light to vegans saying these burgers were 100% vegan. BK must
have learned their lesson after the whole soy-based version of its Whopper that was
cooked on the same grill as meat burgers fiasco. So if you happen to be in Malta, trying one
of these wouldn't hurt!
The Avocado Whopper - Japan
Avocados have made somewhat of an unexpected impression on the newer generations, and now
we can't seem to get away from them. From social media to almost every restaurant menu,
avocados are everywhere and in everything. Avocado toast, avocado smoothies, and now, apparently,
an Avocado Whopper. Contrary to what you might think, this creation isn't from a health-nut,
little town in California like we'd expect, but rather from good old Japan. Ahead of their
time - as usual - Burger King Japan created yet another wild Whopper variation by simply
adding some slices of avocado to the classic burger back in 2014. Nothing more, nothing
less. It's just a regular Whopper, but with some added creamy super fruit. Since then,
a lot of other fast-food restaurants have followed Burger King's lead, and other locations
across Asia have introduced their own Avocado Whopper, like Singapore, but the OG title
still belongs to Japan. The one released in Singapore in 2019, was also available as a
Tender Grill chicken burger instead of the traditional beef Whopper. Each Avocado Whopper
was around $7.40, which may sound a little expensive, but when you think about it, have
you ever bought anything that had avocados in it for a low price? Probably not!
Sprout Surprise Whopper - UK
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the most universally
hated vegetable in the world? The answer is probably something green and smelly that your
parents would force you to finish before you could get up from the dinner table - Brussel
sprouts. Brussel sprouts would definitely never win a popularity contest, so why Burger
King in the UK decided to use them in a Whopper is still a mystery. Tweaking a Whopper is
always risky business, but Brussel sprouts? Really? It just seemed like a dare gone wrong. The
Sprout Surprise Whopper came out as a limited-time holiday special. They wanted to use a "classic
festive ingredient that so often gets overlooked." Maybe, there's a reason why they get overlooked.
Needless to say, the response from the public wasn't too positive, but Burger King UK was
confident that serving some mushy Brussel sprouts with Swiss cheese would be a huge
hit if people just gave it a try. And some brave souls did, and they hated it. The idea
of having these sprouts on a burger just sounded too odd for most. This might just be the one
BK item we're glad we don't have over here. This burger would be every kids’ nightmare!
