Business Insider reports that new global menu items will be available this summer.
The quintessential American fast-food chain is about to introduce some international flavors. Business Insider obtained internal documents indicating that McDonald’s is preparing to bring special menu items from its restaurants in other countries to the United States. Diners will get to try the Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger from Spain, the Stroopwafel McFlurry from the Netherlands, the tomato-mozzarella chicken sandwich from Canada and the cheesy bacon fries from Australia.
The new menu offerings are a taste of global flavors, but filtered through an American fast-food lens, they’re like a distortion in a funhouse mirror. The Grand McExtreme — which, let’s be honest, is an amazing name for a sandwich — is a “a fresh-beef Quarter Pounder topped with McBacon sauce, bacon, Gouda cheese, and slivered onions.” A Stroopwafel McFlurry is mixed with chunks of the popular Dutch caramel waffle cookie and caramel sauce.
There are endless permutations of foreign McDonald’s menu items. In France, menus have featured a sandwich of ham, cheese and hash browns on a baguette. You can get fried paneer wraps in India, fried salmon wraps in Norway, McKebab in Israel, and fries flavored with mayonnaise and seasoned cod roe in Japan.
Anyway, here’s hoping that McDonald’s will consider rotating other global treats through its American restaurants, like a janky Epcot. The company has already tested some international offerings in select locations. The new menu items should be available this summer.Like fine wine and good steak, aging Peeps is an art. But how stale is just right?We hoped Lunchables’ new Brunchables were an April Fools’ joke. If only.
