Glocalization!

INDIA
In India, there are no Big Macs because the Hindu people don't eat beef.
However, they have the Maharaja Mac, which is a Big Mac made of lamb or
chicken meat. There is also a vegetarian burger, the McAloo Tikki.

NORWAY
In fish-loving Norway, they have the McLaks, a sandwich made of grilled
salmon and dill sauce.





GERMANY
It's bottoms up in Germany, where McDonald's serves - Beer!




CANADA
In parts of Canada, have a lobster dinner with the McLobster lobster roll.
Pardon me - "McHomard" (in French).



JAPAN
Japan totally reinvents McDonald's with its Ebi Filet-O (shrimp burgers),
Koroke Burger (mashed potato, cabbage and katsu sauce, all in a sandwich),
Ebi-Chiki (shrimp nuggets) and Green Tea-flavored milkshake!





CHILE
In Chile, you can dress your burgers with - not ketchup - avocado paste!




COSTA RICA
In Costa Rica, unsurprisingly, you can order Gallo Pinto, meaning rice and
beans.




GREECE
It's not Greek without pita, so when in Greece, have a Greek Mac, a burger
made of patties wrapped in pita.



HONG KONG
Rice-loving Hong Kong, has - of course - Rice Burgers, where the burgers
are in between, not burger buns, but two patties of glutinous rice.





ISRAEL
In Israel, McDonald's has 3 kosher restaurants where cheeseburger and dairy
products are not served because Jewish Law forbids serving "the child
[cow/beef] in its mother's milk [dairy]." They have McShawarma, meat in a
pita bread roll.



URUGUAY
In Uruguay, they have the McHuevo, which is like a regular hamburger, but
it is topped with a poached egg.

Well... let me tell you that I am Uruguayan, and here in Uruguay we speak Spanish and write with the Latin alphabet. So that picture... I dont know where is it from, but it isnt from any McDonald's in my country!

Thanks for writing in Ana, it was a forward we received. I guess their accuracy isn't great then. Hmm.
