21 Awesome McDonald's Dishes That You Can't Get in America*

I will leave the concept of "awesome McDonald's dishes" as an exercise for the student.

4. McDonald's Bacon Rolls




Where: U.K.

What it is: McDonald's has branded its Bacon Roll the "breakfast of choice for all bacon lovers." The bacon is sourced from British farms and served on a roll with either ketchup or brown sauce.

5. McDonald's Black and White Hamburger Combo




Where: China

What it is: The black burger, which is topped with white sesame seeds, has a black pepper sauce with chopped onions, according to Brian Ashcraft at Kotaku. The white burger is topped with black sesame seeds and has a spicy sauce.

The burgers were available for a limited time last year and now they are back again.

6. McDonald's Taro Pie




Where: Japan and other Asian markets

What it is: Chunks of taro root covered in a sweet, bright purple sauce inside a flaky pie crust. Taro root resembles potatoes in consistency but has a stronger flavor. Taylor Tamblin compared the taste of the treat to a mild sweet potato in his blog, Man Reviews Food.

15. Bacon potato pie




Where: Japan

What it is: Chunks of potato and bacon served in the same deep-fried shell that McDonald's uses for its apple pies.


*-I have seen the taro pies in Hawai'i, which, unless you're a birfer, is indeed part of America.

but I'd like to know what "brown sauce" is first. Plus, UK bacon is too fatty and underdone.

Hp sauce, its vinegar some spices and molasses i think. Its fruity and spicy and awesome. Best thing ever is fatty bacon with whats known as lorne sausage on a morning roll with brown sauce.

Green tea is big here as well. I'll check the menu the next time I walk by the McDonald's in the grocery store near my house. I've been trying to lay off that stuff lately. Went in a week ago last Friday and they were out of cheeseburgers. I gave them a little bit of grief about it (all in good fun). I said "how can you be out of cheeseburgers? That's what McDonald's is best known for."

I know I can get something vegan.

And I'll have to get my friend from Montreal to explain the allure of poutine. The name alone invokes
