Since when can I get poutine?
Seems to me that would be a Quebec thing, which they should specify before getting my hopes up.

McDonalds should open up a few International McDonalds in major centres where you can go and get stuff like this... There are a few things on that menu I would love to try (Maybe I need to get on an airplane).

The Maharaja Mac looks amazing. I'm assume smoke-flavor mayo would be like a chipotle mayo?

Most of those look just as bad as what we can get at North American McDonald's, but I could really go for a McBeer right about now.

McBeers....you haven't lived until you've got smashed in McDonalds. Preferably done in France, when you are under the age of 18.

It's not.

Almost every town in the Maritimes has a restaurant that will serve you a much better lobster roll for a similar price.

That fried cheese patty thing should be served with a side of bacon and a set of defibrillators

When I was in Australia, I had a McLamb burger. Just like the kiwi burger with egg and beet but the patty was lamb. Good, but dry.

I'd be all over that if they had it maybe. Just like if Burger King had the bacon sundae here I'd be on that.

I had the lobster burger years back when in Halifax. Meh. This September was in France and asked for a root beer with my combo, and was pleasantly surprised to see a Heineken on my tray, all for the same price as a combo with a pop.

Oh and only in France and Quebec will you see smoking cute ladies in groups eating at a McDonalds.

When I was in Holland in the fall, I noticed that McDs had croquette. prawns and some burger with a fried egg on it.

Thye had the prawns in Croatia when I was there too.

Also, that paneer thing from India sounds awesome. I love paneer.

I find it funny how the article is titled 17 McDonald's Dishes you can't buy in America and then they have one of the dishes localized to Hawaii.
