Around the World: McDonald's UK - Great Tastes of America Menu Returns

While McDonald's doesn't offer any country-themed menus here in the U.S., they're a bit of a thing for McDonald's abroad and a popular theme is our very own USA. As such the "Great Tastes of America" menu has returned for a limited time in the UK and boasts five burgers, each drawing on a major U.S. city or state for inspiration, and each only available for a week(!).

What's on the Menu: Domino's Pizza Nigeria

Nigeria is probably best known here in the US as that place where someone has a million dollars to give you, but needs some of your money to get it i.e. it's known for email scams. But did you know that you can get bananas on your pizza at Domino's there? Me neither.

Let's take a look at what's on the menu at Domino's in Nigeria...

What's on the Menu: Starbucks Hong Kong Christmas 2012

While Starbucks' holiday drinks don't vary too much from country to country, the food offered in stores tend to cater more towards local norms and this year in Hong Kong, Starbucks offers quite the festive spread for Christmas.

Around the World: McDonald's UK - Festive Menu

In what's become an annual event, McDonald's UK is celebrating the holidays with their Festive Menu.

The menu is anchored by the Winter Warmer with Tomato & Red Pepper Sauce, and also includes Cheese Melt Dippers, the Chicken Celebration sandwich, the Orange Flavor Chocolate Pie, and the Nestle Quality Street Fudge McFlurry.

Here are the details:

What's on the Menu: Starbucks Japan

While Starbucks is fairly uniform with what they offer drink-wise in countries across the world, the Japanese with their love of limited-time promotions get some drinks that may never see the light of day in other countries and have certainly never been offered here in the U.S.

Here's a list of some of the drinks that have passed through the Starbucks Japan menu and that you might wished Starbucks would bring home to the U.S. (maybe someday...):

What's on the Menu: Wendy's Malaysia

I ran across the Wendy's Malaysia menu recently and thought you guys might want to have a look. Highlights include sour cream with fries and pasta!

What's on the Menu: Burger King Argentina

Argentina is known for its love of beef and grilled barbecue in particular are very popular. But how does that translate to the Burger King menu? This edition of What's on the Menu looks at Burger King Argentina to see how they do it way down south.

The most Argentine Burger King interpretation has to be the Traditional Churrasquito or "grilled beef sandwich." In Argentina, a churrasco is any long thin cut of beef (usually steak) grilled over hot coals or on a very hot skillet or other similar method.

Around the World: McDonald's Australia - Flavors of the Olympic Games

With the Summer Olympics just around the corner, McDonald's Australia and nearby McDonald's New Zealand celebrate with similar limited-time "Flavours of the Games" menus in honor of the Olympics. The featured items provide an interesting if eyebrow-raising look at what McDonald's has come up with to represent past Olympic games.

Here are the items:

I'm going to jump right into it for Part Two of the Biggest McMenu (you can check out part one/un/uno/ein here) highlighting "Mc-" items from McDonald's restaurants all over the world.

I'm sure you might know what a macaron is (if you don't it's a like a meringue-based sandwich cookie), but unless you're in Austria, you've probably never heard of a McCaron! That's right macarons are offered at McCafes in Austria and are called "McCarons."

What's on the Menu: Pizza Hut Middle East

Pizza Hut Middle East's latest promotion is the funky Crown Crust Carnival, a pizza with a golden crown crust that rings the pizza with either mini cheeseburgers or chicken fillet balls depending on the version.

Let's take a closer look at the Crown Crust Carnival, the so-called "Most Royal Pizza Ever."

Around the World: The Biggest McMenu, Part One

Okay, here it is. After many hours surfing every McDonald's website around the world, and trying to make heads or tails out of Google Translate translations, I've compiled a list of (almost) every McDonald's menu item with a "Mc" as part of the name for your viewing pleasure.

Without further ado here's Part Un (that's French for "one") of what's on the Biggest McMenu (by the way, it's actually called the "McMenu" in some countries) from McDonald's restaurants around the world:

What's on the Menu: McDonald's Arabia 2012

This time on What's on the Menu, McDonald's Arabia (covers a bunch of Middle Eastern countries with McDonald's restaurants) is currently running a Tastes of the World promotion. So far they've already served up the Arabian and the Asian and now they're currently out with the Mexican.

The tagline they're using is "It's McDonald's... but a bit [Arabian/Asian/Mexican/whatever-else-they-think-up next]."

Curious to know what exactly makes an Arabian or an Asian? Read on!
