- I am here to try all the unique
things that they have on the menu here,
including McVegan. In a country where one out of 10 people
is either vegan or vegetarian,
does the burger really live up to its hype?
First off, falafel. In four or nine
pieces with yogurt and herb dip.
It comes in a little dry packet like that,
but then you get the added dipping sauce.
You can choose from a massive selection of them.
A little but spicy, like a little bit herby. It's really dry.
Now for the Chicken and Hummus Salad.
The chicken's cooked really nicely.
The whole thing's got like a really
big range of flavors in there.
As well as normal fries, McDonald's does sweet potato fries.
They're not bad, they're just not overwhelmingly
sweet potato-y. I think it's probably just
because of the grease and the salt.
This is so good.
This thing is genuinely like the king of dips.
This is just a peasant dip, this is the dip king.
It looks like a really, really luxurious dip.
Woah! That smells like truffles.
It's got really, really, really truffle-y,
mushroom-y aftertaste. It just immediately
tastes like a standard McDonald's mayo.
Yes, that is beer on the menu.
It's served in selected European and Asian countries.
What I'm expecting is quite citrus-y,
and slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
Hoping it actually lives up to that.
It's alright, maybe if you have really flavorsome food,
and you have this too, somehow it'll complement each other.
It's really nothing to write home from Stockholm about.
Last, but not least, the McVegan.
The patty was developed specifically for McDonald's
by Anamma, now Orkla foods, a niche food company
from southern Sweden, and at just 25 Swedish Krona,
(that's $2.75) it's a bit of a bargain.
That yummy looking sauce?
It's got vegan McFeast sauce in it, and ketchup.
So apparently when this was developed in 2017,
what gives it its really, really quite vibrant red color
is the soy protein. It's mixed with
tomato powder, onions, and peppers.
So what you're expecting from here is quite like a
juicy soy protein burger but with
quite a strong vegetable taste to it as well.
I think what really helps is it's got pickle in it as well.
The pickle and the burger go together really nicely.
It's got some ketchup in there.
You can see that it's got some onions.
Yep, quite a bit of pickle actually.
It's not really, really flavorsome, it just tastes like
quite a good standard veggie burger made of soy protein.
It certainly looks very, very impressive.
I really like the color of it.
The McVegan: probably wasn't worth coming
all the way to Stockholm for.
I can understand why people get really crazy about this,
it's a cool thing on the menu.
It's probably just them trying to keep up with
other really popular burger chains in Sweden
that offer really good vegetarian/vegan menus.
The mayo's good; best thing on the menu in my opinion
is the garlic dipping sauce.
A nice little pot of garlic mayo heaven.
