This week, on January 31, 1990, McDonald's opened its first fast-food restaurant in Russia.
Prompt: Sometimes McDonald's restaurants in other countries have different menus than the ones here in the U.S. For example, some McDonald's restaurants in Japan serve sushi. Do research to find out some alternate McDonald's menu items in other countries as wellfoods eaten in Russia. Name at least one food you might serve at a McDonald's there. Look up a few other countries as well..

There are many different restaurants in the world. Such as, in Hong Kong, Singapore, China, France, and soon, there'll even be McDonalds in Russia. However, since it hasn't been opened yet, nobody will know what kind of food they'll serve. That's why I searched up and put a list of alternate menu items that might be served in Russia and other countries, that aren't served here.

All around the world, McDonald's has franchises in Japan, India, Germany, and Turkey, being some of the most popular places with different menus than what we have here in the US. For example, Japan has a Pizza McPuff. Germany has minicakes in fruity flavors. Turkey has a chocolate orange pie for desert.

Mcdonald’s is an international restaurant chain that is found almost everywhere in the world. Although it is mostly known for their hamburgers in America, it is a different case in different places around the world. One of these places is Australia. There are several unusual items on the Australian menu, such as macaroni that is breaded and deep- fried, the bacon, egg and tomato wrap, and frozen soda slushies. There are also different variants of our own McFlurry, including bubblegum and hot fudge. For the kid’s Happy Meals, a special kind of cookie is included. They cannot be found at any Mcdonald’s. One last item is the Vegemite on an English muffin. Vegemite is a salty paste that is high in minerals and made with leftover brewer’s yeast. This spread is enormously popular with Australians and is commonly used on toast. These items make their menu unique and different from any other.

The McDonalds in Russia has brie nuggets which isn't available in the U.S.menus. Types of food that can be added to the McDonalds in Russia can be Bliny because it is thin type of pancake, similar to a crepe. I think it would be a good alternate choice for Russians rather than choosing a normal breakfast pancake. Another type of food I think will do well in Russia's McDonalds menu is Knish, which is a baked/fried potato dumpling made of flaky dough. Knish might sell well as a side dish accompanied by another main food from the menu. I also think that Lymonnyk, a lemon pie, would be good as a menu choice because Russians would be able to have the option oi either apple pie or Lymonnyk, which is a popular type of pie in Russia. There are also many other types of food that might do well in Russia's McDonalds menu, but I think these would be some of the better ones to choice from.

Throughout the years McDonalds around the world have grown popular and common in everyday life. However this fast food restaurant also has positive and negative feedback from the customers. The reason may be because of their exotic food, such as Bacon Rolls from United Kingdom, or Taro Pie from Asia. Each of these countries has different opinions of taste, which shapes their McDonalds. For an example, people in America enjoy burgers so we have burgers. Unlike us, Hong Kong people like eating rice, so the McDonalds there incorporate their taste to keep them happy and full.

McDonald’s is a popular franchise restaurant around the world. The McDonald’s franchise started in America. McDonald’s restaurants in America serve food such as burgers, chicken nuggets, and French fries. There are also snack wraps and other foods. McDonald’s restaurants in other countries usually serve their country’s traditional foods. For example, McDonald’s in India sells a McCurry. Curry happens to be a popular dish in India. Some countries in Asia also sell McRice burgers, which are burgers with rice patties.

McDonalds has many restaurants around the world. They have food that fits what the people typically eat. For example in Canada they have a sandwich called the McLobster. In Canada the weather is cold and there are a lot of seafood so many people prefer to eat lobster and salmon so McDonalds being a smart business added the McLobster to their menu. A McLobster is a sub with lobster with a small amount of salad and salad dressing. Pictures of the sandwich makes it look so delightful but it only exclusive in Canada and is also on the menu for a limited amount of time before they take it off for the year.

All around the world there are different food items that are in McDonald's restaurant. The food depends on what area you live in. In America we have the famous big mac but in different countries they have something else but almost the same idea. In India instead of the big mac they have a burger with hot spices in the meat, which is three times bigger than the meat in America. The food if supposed to have their own specialties so that the people in the area would enjoy it.

McDonald’s is a well-known fast food restaurant all through out the world. In each country a restaurant is located, the menu varies with the place that it is in. In America, we are already familiar with our menu with our McChickens and Big Macs. In other countries though, their selections are quite different from ours. For example, in Japan, you can get a bacon potato pie, which is exactly as it is named. There, you can also get an Ebi Filet O Shrimp, which is similar to our Filet o Fish, but the shrimp is a substitution for the fish. If you go north of our country, it leads to Canada, and there you can get a BLT Bagel. In Turkey, you can get a hamburger made of lamb meat instead of beef called the McTurco. Malaysia has Bubur Ayam, which is porridge with chicken strips and vegetables. Last, Russia has beef a la Russ, which is a beef sandwich using rye bread.

When your hear the words Mcdonalds you might think of burgers, fries, chicken, and sodas for a dollar, but around the world there is more then just that. In many countries people eat there breakfast on toast but Australia when they eat they eat something called vegemite. This is made from extract left over after yeast makes beer. In America your want all cheeseburger, hamburger, and sometimes fish to be all by itself but in japan its all of those combined into a sandwich called EBI Filet-O. in Italy you might thing there is probably think there is spaghetti and lasagna on the menu. They like to have McNuggets stuffed with spinach and parmesan chees which they call spinach and parmesan cheese McNuggets. In Brazil they like to have deserts at mcdonalds. It’s a famous pie called banana pie.

What foods are served in other Mc. Donald’s restaurants around the world? Many people believe that the money making fast-food chain just serves burgers and french fries. However, that is not true. In each country, they serve what people eat there. For example, in Australia, Mc. Donalds’ restaurants serve what is called vegemite for breakfast. Vegemite is a spread similar to jelly and Nutella but lacks the taste. You can order vegemite with your English McMuffin. Next, in Mexico, they do not serve Egg McMuffins, however, they serve molletes. Molletes is a combination of three English muffins, served with refried beans, white American cheese, and a little salsa. In Mexico, they are called McMolletes. Foods around the world take a spin on the modern fast-food chain Mc. Donalds and people love it.

McDonald’s might be one of the most popular, well known restaurants of this century. You can find a McDonald’s almost anywhere in the world. Just to name a few Russia, Australia, France, Finland and more. All this places in Europe have a specific food they like. When McDonald’s opens a new restaurant somewhere in the world they make menu changes so that the food could appeal to their customs and likes.

People say that McDonald is the greatest fast food restaurant in america. However people might think that McDonalds sell the sames food they sell here in america. But they actually have a different menu and food in different countries than america. Like in Philippines they sell spaghetti with your choice of sliced hot dog or fried chicken but only sold in the Philippines. Also in the country Turkey they sell a different dessert of chocolate orange pie. it must be chocolate with orange slices inside but only in Turkey.

McDonalds is a very popular fast-food restaurant over the world. However, not every McDonalds menu is the same for each and every country other than America. McDonalds try to modify their menu so it can fit into that country’s local tastes. For example, in Singapore there is something called an Ebi Burger, which is a sandwich with whole shrimp embedded in a patty and topped with lettuce and spicy sauce. There is also something called a Shaka Shaka chicken. It is made with a deep fried chicken patty with spices poured on top.

McDonalds is a very famous fast food restaurant all over the world. Many other countries added their own popular foods to their menu. Other countries like Australia named their McDonalds Macca. For example, a Singaporean McDonalds serve Shaka Shaka Chicken. Since Chines, Indian, Thai and Malaysian all blend together in Singapore, you would expect a lot of spices. Most menus in other countries add their own customs to the McDonalds menu. Popular foods in those countries would probably be on the McDonalds menu.

All over the world, there are popular foods that are added into the McDonalds menu to adjust to the taste buds of the customers of that country. Malaysia had a Burbur ayam in the breakfast menu, which is porridge with spices on top. In Hong Kong, McDonalds have recently put Sausage & Egg Twisty Pasta into their breakfast menu since pasta and macaroni are popular breakfast choices for usual restaurants. McDonalds in Turkey include a balanced protein and vegetables breakfast, with an English McMuffin and omelet with cheese, cucumbers, olives, and tomatoes on the side. There is a Maharaja Mac in India, which is Big Mac with lamb in it and also a McCurry Pan. The desserts in McDonalds of Germany include mini-cakes that represent their European desire to enjoy desserts during teatime.

JAPAN-Well what I found is that in Japan they sell a shrimp burger. The burger is called the “EBI Filet-O” in Japan. This burger has whole shrimp, layered with a pillowed of breading, served no a big Mac roll. Its really just like stuffed with bread except with the lettuce and they add some spicy sauce.

In Russia there are some McDonald’s dishes that we don’t have in America, and we think it’s so different from what we always have at McDonalds. Some dishes are very weird and foreign to what we have in the McDonald’s in America like the usual, Big Mac or McNuggets, and etc. Some dishes such as the Beef A La Rus in Moscow, Russia are made of lettuce, tomato, a big juicy slice of beef patty and bacon sandwiched on the rye bread of the bun, but there is a strange blend in the taste in the bun it has a tartness taste to it making the bread chewy and the people in Russia say it’s a strange but perfect blend.

McDonalds is a famous fast food spot in America but we are not the only on that has McDonalds in our country. Most country’s like China and Russia have McDonalds too. But in America the menu here is much more different than the one in other countries. Some menus are different from either the breakfast menu or the lunch/dinner menu.

Fast-food has been around for years in the United States and has been spreading around the world for awhile now. Although the menu of McDonalds is well known to some in the United States it could look different in other countries such as France. Did you know that the Mcdonalds in France, Netherlands, Germany, and Australia serve beer? Instead of peanut butter on toast that most Americans eat, Australians eat this similar food called vegemite. Therefore the McDonalds in Australia sells vegemite on toast in their breakfast menu. There are many more foods that McDonalds sells elsewhere but I would serve a Mc Hotdog at Asia.

There is always wide selection of food in any McDonald’s near you. However there are many different types of food that you couldn’t even believe are on menu. Some are common foods that are still never seen at McD’s and some are foods depending on what part of the world you are in. McDonald’s tries its best to imitate shawarma or falafel across not only in Egypt, but also the Middle East. It serves the McArabia, two chicken or beef patties in pita bread with lettuce, tomato, onion and tahini sauce. In Mexico, you’ll notice molletes, or McMolletes for breakfast. These are three English muffins, each topped with refried beans, white American cheese and a little salsa. Another example is in Spain, where different types of desserts are served. You can find cake slices dusted with powdered sugar which is an authentic Italian treatment. The cakes are carrot and peach, but also torta della nonna, a Tuscan cheese tart, and torta caprese, a chocolate and nut cake that was born on the island of Capri.

We know McDonald’s as the fast food place that sells the average food: burgers, nuggets, and fries. However, there are some cultural yet interesting menu choices from other countries. For example, Italian McDonald’s serve spinach and parmesan cheese mcnuggets. The dessert menu has quite a few Italian choices as well. There are carrot and peach cakes and ‘torta della nella’, a Tuscan cheese tart, dusted with powdered sugar. These resemble the pastries you would buy from an Italian bakery. Brazilian McDonald’s also have an added dessert to their menus: banana pie. This item is a rather ironic one because Brazilians often use the leaves of the bananas rather than the fruit. What is even more surprising are the burgers that McDonald’s sell in India. They sell the McVeggie, a burger with a rice, bean, and vegetable patty. They also serve McAloo Tikkis, which are potato-vegetable burgers. It is rather interesting to know about the many foods that McDonald’s serve in other countries to suit the local tastes.

There are many different types of food around the world. Some are familiar to us, while others are completely foreign. But sometimes, there are types of things that fall into both categories. An example would be McDonalds. McDonalds is a fast-food chain in America, and they have spread to multiple countries that serve some familiar foods…and others that are not as familiar. Some examples include the Kiwi burger in New Zealand, the McRice burger in Singapore, and the McLobster in Canda.

McDonalds has spread all over the world, from America to Russia and other countries. In Russia, there are many different food selections on their menu that is not in America. They have a slightly bigger burger named Royal DeLuxe, which is one large chopped beef steak, cheese, mustard, salad, and tomatoes. As if you don’t get enough cheese in the cheeseburger, there a solution for your problem. The Royal Cheeseburger has much more cheddar cheese then a regular burger and a lot more ketchup. Finally, the Big Tasty is the largest burger on the menu, it has a large beef patty, 3 slices of Emmental cheese, a huge sesame bun, salad, 2 slices of tomato, onion and grill sauce.

Across the globe, there are more McDonalds fast food restraunts than you think. Other countries’ McDonalds menus are quite similar but also have different popular food items. For example, in France, there is a special burger called Le P'tit Moutarde. It means “the small mustard” and is a small hamburger on a fancy bun, called a ciabatta bun. Another food item that France has but the United States doesn’t have are frappes. They come in four flavors: cappuccino, banana caramel, framboise (berry beer), and vanilla. France also has a sweet tasty dessert that we don’t have: Chocolate mousse. It comes in milk, white and dark chocolate.

McDonald's is not only a popular franchise in America, but also around the world. McDonald's serve items that they think would sell well at their restaurants; they must adapt to their cultural audience. One factor of how well the items sell is the location in the world of the restaurant. For example, McDonald's serves veggie burgers in India, because a large amount of people are of the Hindu religion, which prevents them from eating beef. As a result, McDonald's introduced a vegetarian option to increase their profits. If I were to serve a new item at a McDonald's in Russia, I would first think of what the people would like. A popular Russian food is "blinis", which is a thin pancake with some meat, fruits, or vegetables in it. using this knowledge, I would serve a variation of blinis at a McDonald's in Russia. I would include blinis as part of a combo meal, or even use blinis as a replacement for hamburger buns.
