Strange McDonalds food around the world
Some of those are pretty funny.
For the last decade or so, the “rice burger” has been making huge in roads in places like HK and Japan and China. A Japanese chain called Mo Burger specializes in doing Asian-style “burgers”, taking such dishes as sukiyaki or chichen teriyaki and squeezing them between two pasteboard-like slabs of rice patties as shown in the HK picture from the linked page. McDonalds only recently started to get in on the rice burger trend when Mo Burger suddenly started overtaking them in popularity.
Some other fun McD’s dishes not on the page: The Pineapple Pie, featured every Chinese New Year and Rice Bowls, similar to those served in the Yoshinoya chains.
You can get an even larger sampling of bizarre localized foods by going to directly to that regions McDonald’s website. (The McDonalds India site has some really off-the-wall dishes).
