MaccyDs has Ninja Burgers in Japan, McKrokets in the Netherlands, McBier in Germany. What uniquely British special should be on the Maccy's menu?

More like McSlurry amirite?! . . . Sorry.

[-]

Alarmed_Crazy_6620@reddit

Would honestly probably slap as a sundae sauce or pie filling

[-]

WhiteDiamondK@reddit

About 20 years ago they had a McIndian season… there were a number of items but my favourite was a lamb patty in a Naan bread with mango chutney. Doesn’t get much more British than that.

Was bloody lovely.

McFaggots, are Brain's faggots still a thing in the UK? I used to be forced to eat them as a child in the 80's.

[-]

Altruistic_Lock_3918@reddit

I don't think.theyd go over very well when the Americans find out

[-]

Key_Milk_9222@reddit

You say that like less American tourists is a bad thing.

[-]

dick_schidt@reddit

Fewer American tourists would be better.

[-]

HMS_Hexapuma@reddit

They are, but I can never get them in anything other than a six pack and that's too much for one. Still love them though.

[-]

HMSWarspite03@reddit

Can't you freeze them? Or would that cause brain freeze? (Sorry, I'll get my coat)

[-]

HMS_Hexapuma@reddit

I'll forgive a fellow warship anything (But you're on thin ice with that one!)

[-]

SnooRegrets8068@reddit

Yes they are. Not sure why but then SO gets them occasionally. Tasted at best like they needed a lot of sauce.

[-]

Key_Milk_9222@reddit

As a child we convinced my younger brother that Brains wasn't the brand name but in fact the principle ingredient.

[-]

stercus_uk@reddit

Brains are about the only organ proper faggots don’t contain

[-]

SnooRegrets8068@reddit

As someone with a child I heartily approve of this.

I had a samurai burger in Japan recently

Double patty infused with soi sauce

[-]

purrcthrowa@reddit (OP)

That's the one I was thinking of - not samurai. TBH I didn't rate it hugely. My favourite international McDs special is definitely the McKroket.

[-]

McDull: plain beef patty with salt and vinegar on it. No dressing, no sauces. Perfection

[-]

Apart-Purchase9580@reddit

Fruit crumble McFlurry, serve Irn Bru in Scotland if they don't already, McScampi

[-]

velvet-overground2@reddit

Mcchip butty

Seriously… it would be very cheap to make, could be a 99p item, filling but not desirable (so people would regularly eat something more expensive), and a fun local item that’s actually true.

[-]

KowakianDonkeyWizard@reddit

Is this desperate McDonald's marketing trying to get Reddit to do its homework?

McD's should stick to serving overpriced oversalted oversweetened American slop as is traditional.

An all day pork sausage burger with the option of an egg.

We already have bacon sandwiches, they’re not anywhere else

[-]

mmoonbelly@reddit

MacDonald’s did bring out the “English pub burger” in the US in 2011. - found in Galveston (Texas).

It had proper fried onions (our style, not the dried stuff they call onions over there) and tasted like a school fete.

[-]

JuneauEu@reddit

McParmo.

It's the cripsy chicken burger with a white cheese sauce and cheese slice.

Optional extras is a pot of garlic mayo to gonw9th your chips.

[-]

Silly_Triker@reddit

There’s no reason why McDonald’s couldn’t do proper chips for the UK market. I know the fries are basically the signature item but I would like to see their take on chips

[-]

theinspectorst@reddit

McFish and Chips. It's just the Filet O' Fish without the bun.

[-]

Traditional-Tour37@reddit

Using an actual muffin would be a start, right Northerners?

But also pigs in blankets would make a great side

[-]

2Spot68@reddit

I'll stick with the one I'm currently not eating, the McBoycott.

[-]

They have a filet o fish. But I always thought it was weird they didn’t do a fish finger sandwich, which is so much similar but everyone would love it imo. Filet o fish is suspicious sounding but a fish finger sandwich is proper British and sound.

[-]

Kian-Tremayne@reddit

Egg and black pudding McMuffin for breakfast

[-]

purrcthrowa@reddit (OP)

I would definitely eat that. Maybe with a Lorne sausage in there as well.

[-]

Crookfur@reddit

Yep proper lorne instead of that sad abomination they call "sausage".

[-]

Kian-Tremayne@reddit

Wetherspoons bacon and egg muffin with a slice of black pudding and a hash brown is not a bad way to start the day

imtheorangeycenter@reddit

I'd rather the bun be made of a yorkshire pudding than its batter, but yes.

Honestly though, resurrect their big breakfast with actual bacon (theirs is just awful) and the other bits of a fry up. They were halfway there so wouldn't be much of a push. I'll call it The McSpoons.

[-]

purrcthrowa@reddit (OP)

I wasn't thinking raw batter...but you knew that.

McSpoons. Where you can't buy any breakfast item without it being bundled with a pint of McCarling.

[-]

imtheorangeycenter@reddit

I know and you knew I knew :)

Anyway, McCirrhosis, supersized please. Hold the beans, mushrooms and tomato. Tell the coroner I'll be ready at about 11.

Honestly, I read the title of the post and went "Hmmm... McYorkie?" Honestly, I'd buy a bag of half-a-dozen plain, salted Yorkshire puddings. Maybe with a small pot of gravy for dipping.

[-]

Arnoave@reddit

I don't know why that isn't a thing you can buy from a burger van or chippie already tbh, I'd happily pay 3-5 quid for something like that

[-]

I forgot the gravy. How embarrassing, especially since I can drink the stuff by the pint.

You can buy beer in many European locations. Would be incredibly funny if they signed a deal with CAMRA

[-]

Lulovesyababy@reddit

They do indeed sell beer in McD's in other countries. However, Brits can't be trusted not to turn which is already a fairly antisocial place at the best of times, into an absolute shitshow, hence restrictions on all inclusives in Spain, and notices online and irl in Amsterdam about not drinking in the street......only for the British :/

They could probably do some riff on battered fish burger

[-]

No_Doughnut3257@reddit

They could call it something like ‘fillet-o-fish’

[-]

SnooRegrets8068@reddit

But with fish and batter instead of whatever that shit is.

[-]

Alarmed_Crazy_6620@reddit

Exactly. Most of the national offerings are riffs on existing menu items with slightly custom/premium ingredients. McChippy should just do what chicken selects do for chicken nuggets – a bit less processed and tad more premium

[-]

indigo263@reddit

Not too sure what I'd have for a British special, but I think it'd be pretty fun if each of the four countries had their own special. Like you can get irn bru in Scottish McDonald's, you could get a burger with haggis and whisky/peppercorn sauce. Wales could have a burger that incorporates welsh rarebit or something. Things like that would be fun to have!

But then it's Mcdonald's and it'd probably be a bit disappointing, like when they stick salsa and nachos on a burger and call it mexican, or pop maple bbq and suddenly it's canadian. Would be nice to see them be more creative.
