I am fascinated by the fact that McDonald’s located in different parts of the world have different menu items that are customized to the local culture. And I’m not just talking about the Royale with Cheese, I mean really weird stuff.
I talked about this a couple of years ago, after personally seeing some strange things at McDonald’s in Italy and England, especially the “McPink” which involved Ham. Meg had some interesting things in the comments that she’s seen in China and Italy, such as cucumbers and spicy sauce or taro root pies. A co-worker from Canada has complained about the lack of poutine at McDonald’s here in the states (for those of you not in the know, poutine involves french fries and cheese curds, covered in gravy) (and for those Canadian readers out there, spell check does not recognize the word poutine, proving that you shouldn’t be eating it, thank-you-very-much).
So anyway, here’s the latest list of weird stuff McDonald’s sells around the world. I think we can all agree…sugar soaked spaghetti?? Come on Philippines, what are you thinking?!

I haven’t had McDonalds in the Philippines, but I have had spaghetti that is made “Filipino” style. My aunt used to make it. It does have a lot of sugar in it, but not like SOAKED. It’s just really sweet and actually not so bad. I probably wouldn’t order it though….as the picture looks gross.

Crazy I should read this tonight. I just came from dinner at McD’s in Japan. Sadly, I didn’t see anything crazy on their pictorial menu so I just got a Big Mac. The one crazy thing they do have is this weird American spokesman named Mr. James that looks like a huge nerd. Oh, and there are pokemons (pokemen?) everywhere. But I think that’s true of any place you go in Japan.

when I was in Japan they had the double big mac…complete with 4 burgers and all of the regular toppings. I think it was ironic that Americans are blamed for eating so much beef!
