We’ve already seen many interesting fast food menu items from Asia. I’m not a big fast food fan myself, but I wouldn’t mind eating at a McDonald’s in Japan just to try out the unique options.
Speaking of McDonald’s and its unique variations from each country, BuzzFeed piqued our curiosity (yet again) and tried out several items from an Indian McDonald’s menu. Since beef is not commonly consumed, we get to see how they spice up their version of an American classic. First item on the menu? A Chicken Maharaja Mac. Apparently, calling it a “Big Mac” is not epic enough.
The verdict? Compared to American McDonald’s, it seems India has more vegetarian-friendly items, more chicken, a “mysterious orange sauce” that’s in all the sandwiches and spice levels are turned up a notch or two.
While many of the participants seem confused with the food, they certainly seemed to more willing to taste the food compared to Filipino street food, “exotic” Asian food, spam and even Japanese snacks. Maybe there’s a sense of comfort when a sandwich has a “Mc-” in it’s title?
