The McPoutine and 24 Other Foreign McDonald’s Menu Items We Need Stateside, STAT

[The Straight Story]

People tend to get mad when any U.S.-based food news source covers menu items from other countries, but here’s the thing: it’s not that we’re trying to be irrelevant to you. It’s just that everywhere else has better stuff.

Take McDonald’s for instance. For most healthy, red-blooded Americans, the most we can look forward to is the McRib in fall and the Shamrock Shake in spring. But in Canada, they have the McLobster and McPoutine. In Asia, they have the Cheese Katsu burger and in England they have the McBacon Roll. McBacon! Seriously how have we need adopted this thing yet?

The following infographic designed by medicalinsurance.org outlines some of the best McDonald’s menu items from abroad, though it’s far from comprehensive.

1. Here's some more... Just for fun.

McSquid -- calamari topped with ulva on a bun. Just keep chewing.

McDirtySocks -- cheeseburger with just cheese, no burger. Limburger, mostly. Once you get past the smell you've got it licked.

McRoadkill -- whatever our manager, Hank, ran over last night. On a bun, smothered in ketchup.

McTexas -- for those driving pickup trucks with Eat More Possum bumper stickers. They can finally eat more possum. On a bun, of course.

McFloss -- deep fried grasshoppers. Get your protein while you floss your teeth. Those legs do it every time. Half off for dentists.
