What McDonald’s Menu Items Look Like Around The World

Aliza Gulab: When traveling, you're more than likely

to try delicious, authentic food

found in the country that you're in,

not fast-food chains.

I mean, who travels across the country to try...

McDonald's?

But McDonald's is the second-biggest fast-food chain

in the world, and it's all over.

Its menu items actually differ depending on where you are,

like the McFalafel in Sweden

or the McSpicy Paneer in India.

Let's take a look at what McDonald's menu items

look like around the world.

You can get a really good kick of heat

with Thailand's Kaprao Crispy Chicken Rice.

It's rice served with chicken curry.

Customer: It's actually really good.

It's, like, sweet and spicy,

but honestly you wouldn't think it came from McDonald's.

Aliza: And for dessert, try its Thai pie.

It's stuffed with black sticky rice and young coconut

that oozes when you bite into it.

Canada's poutine is a can't-miss.

It's fries topped with cheese curds and gravy.

It first appeared in Quebec in the 1950s,

and you can try it at some Canadian McDonald's.

While the Big Mac may be one of McDonald's

most popular beef burgers,

that's not the case in India.

About 95% of the world's Hindus live in India.

Cows are sacred in Hinduism,

so practicing Hindus don't eat them.

As a substitution, the Maharaja Mac

uses chicken and adds heat with jalapeños.

It's also estimated that anywhere between 20% to 30%

of India's population is vegetarian.

More than any other country.

And many people that do eat meat

don't eat it often.
