Regional McDonald's Differences

[Illumination70]

Up here in Washington state, many people like tartar sauce with their french fries!!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Illumination70 that's interesting! I may have to give that a whirl

[ReiAyanami06]

I wish it was at my McDonalds :(

[thrillxofxice]

Hahaha you go girl, laugh yourself all the way to the bank girl. :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@thrillxofxice ;) And I shall hahaha $15 so far this month. That's a bit of saimin!

[sangyekyap]

how can you call anyone interested in mcdonalds foodies? it isnt food.. its highly processed crap, foodie? really?

[Keysta7]

Hey cool I wish we had that in my Mickey D's.

[HeyItsMopHeadMike]

They serve beer here.

[jonharson]

I never understood what is the fascination American, and for that mater the rest of the world too, got with the McDonald, mostly everything they make taste and look like shit...

[shadowtygo]

@jonharson Yes because EVERYONE ON EARTH HAS THE EXACT OPINION AS YOU..

[jonharson]

@shadowtygo Obviously not, seeing the bunch of fat pig over 250 pounds that populate your country.

[shadowtygo]

@jonharson I eat at mc-donalds but I'm skinny as hell, (metabolism) this is why people who don't have an efficient one should do it less. (BUT DON'T STOP ENTIRELY YOU WILL FAIL IF YOU DO THAT)

[hierapolis]

@cookingandcrafting totally am. U jelly?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@hierapolis pffft yeahhhh

[quaxk]

don't fucking eat there, it's shit

[CookingAndCrafting]

@quaxk ok I won't.

[silentswan12]

heyy look naruto uzumakixD where's sasuke...jkjk

[CookingAndCrafting]

@silentswan12 I don't get it.

[lowfiwhiteguy]

After watching a few of these, I realise that a lot of Americans pronounce "Breakfasts" as "Breakfastes" with the extra syllable. Not hating just seems different is all haha.

[hierapolis]

@lowfiwhiteguy not all americans speak improperly. i just say breakfast. :P

[CookingAndCrafting]

@hierapolis well aren't you the awesome one.

[AdamTehBoss]

@lowfiwhiteguy My father has always calls "Breakfast" "Brefkists."

[CookingAndCrafting]

@lowfiwhiteguy I guess I hadn't ever thought about how I've said it before, as I don't generally address more than one breakfast usually. Huh

[madhat1979]

In Africa they have the McNothing......you can even supersize it, than you have extra nothing.

[jpeter200]

here in NM we can add green chile to our burgers. I know thats a NM only kinda deal.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@jpeter200 yep, several people have said that. I think that is pretty cool. Will have to make sure I try one when in NM!

[RealNexusMedia]

@jpeter200 Green Chile is the best! NM is the best place for spicy food in the States :D

[katelync0]

we have pumpkin and cherry pies where i live..idk if thats everywhere though

[CookingAndCrafting]

@katelync0 ooh We don't have those here. Where are you at?

[katelync0]

@CookingAndCrafting north carolina

[CookingAndCrafting]

@katelync0 Wow, that is very cool. We have haupia (coconut custard/pudding) and taro (the root poi is made out of), apple and we had blueberry for a very short time once. But that's it.

[katelync0]

@CookingAndCrafting also a vanilla custard one around xmas time

[SwampDonkey345]

@katelync0 hell yea we have them here in aspen Co. they are dank

[soschadao]

in new england we have lobster roll sandwiches, i remember my father bought it when it was here. the mc rib comes back every year, but i dont like it.... we also have sales on the fish sandwiches and even bacon double cheese burgers (not sold often)

[willForeverLOVEyou]

In the Philippines they have mcspagetti and friend chicken and rice.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@willForeverLOVEyou I heard that. I want to go to the PI just to try the spaghetti haha

[Kitt0000]

Everything ridiculously expensive in Australia now, i should go for a cheep holiday to Japan or America.

[TheToolSound]

We have the RoyaleDeluxe burger here in Moscow, it is like a bigger badder BigMac.

[LegionnaireEtrangere]

At the on-base McDonalds in Japan, they sold breakfast and lunch together and beer 24-7. Nothing would top off a hard night of drinking better than an Egg McMuffin, McNuggets, & a Sapporo, then puking it up outside and passing out in the street.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@LegionnaireEtrangere Wow, that's the second time someone said they have beer. That's pretty cool.

[LegionnaireEtrangere]

@CookingAndCrafting I've had a McBeer in Japan, Korea, Sweden, Germany, & Holland; and in Spain, Portugal, France, & Greece I opted for McWine instead. America has a crazy obsession with demonizing alcohol, whereas most Europeans consider beer and wine to be food and a crucial part of the meal (Aperitifs & Digestifs.)

[soschadao]

@LegionnaireEtrangere i love your outlook on it, most americans demonized alcohol for decades as a segue for vice and catholocism (where i live used to demonize catholics, and still tries... america seems to be so fiercely protestant that anything that has to do with catholics is banned or controlled, like alcohol)

[LegionnaireEtrangere]

@soschadao America since it's founding has had an obsession with absolute stoicism. We're taught to deny ourselves any taboo pleasures (i.e. alcohol, sex, food), in a misguided attempt to divorce ourselves from our own humanity and foster the idea we can become more god-like in the process. Imitation being the highest form of flattery is the logic. I think it all stems from the puritan settlers, I mean they were kicked out of Holland (UBER-TOLERANT HOLLAND) for being holier-than-thou crazies.

[TheDarkdragon852311]

@CookingAndCrafting NARUTO RAMEN!!! :D

[LumineuxTV]

@CookingAndCrafting in austria they have beer too. i guess they have beer in every european country!

[JunkFoodJohn]

You call yourself a foodie eating at fucking mcdonalds? Jesus christ, you sound like a fat fucking cow. Feeding that shit to your child is abuse.

[Berwynjunior]

oh yea we also have the mc fiesta and the mc holiday lol...and burritos actually and it comes with a sauce..picante sauce..and it for breakfast i dont kno why who wants hot sauce first thing in the morning not this guy lol

[Berwynjunior]

[ClayAdventures]

ITS NARUTOOOOOOOOMAKI.

[thomasw809]

also in the dominican republic they have tostones (fried green plantains) taste like french fries. very good. google the recipe and make some. and if you wait till they turn yellow its a completely different dish. taste like a fried banana but not mushy

[CookingAndCrafting]

@thomasw809 ooh nice! Yep, I know what plantain are. That is cool that they are served there!

[thomasw809]

in the dominican republic beer is on the menu. they have two prices for combo meals, with regular drinks or beer.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@thomasw809 ha!! Even cooler! :)

[onexero1]

Which McDonald's has the McBabySeal?

[tedmerr]

@onexero1 Esquimaux

[derockn00]

the miso is salty enough... why give more soy sauce? sodium increase 10 fold

[OutlawMCC]

Here in Australia we created the Mc Cafe's no big deal but they have been successful. Our main difference is The Roo Burger, which naturally the Pattie is Kangaroo meat. So not only are Kangaroos the mode of transport for my kids to school they can also eat them as a snack from Maccas

[karlalana]

here we have the basic menu, burgers, chicken and fish sandwiches, wraps, black angus burgers and wraps, and seasonal pies like pumpkin pie, apple pie, cherry pie and custard pie. We have a thing called a fruit and walnut salad, not sure if everyone has those fruit and yogurt parfaits, we have the oatmeal here, i tried it it was too sweet! we have biscuits here for the breakfasts, mcmuffin and pancakes, hashbrown potatoes and sometimes some kind of breakfast burritos and french toast sticks...

[heyheytrinityishere]

In the phillippenes They sell rice with the meal instead of fries

[bublacok]

In ireland

It's normal burger, cheese burger, double cheese burger, quarter pounder, big mac, fish burger.

And some season type meal menus

[rjl408]

I'm jealouse they need to make a mc donalds that lets Americans try a little bit of everything around the world that would be a hit.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@rjl408 I agree!

[brentpieterse]

Over here in holland we have the Mc Kroket.

[enjoydotcom]

@brentpieterse Ha, I came here to say that! :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@brentpieterse I'm off to google it!

[BartManNL]

@CookingAndCrafting It is a bun with a burger-sized croquette on it.

[Sleyah]

We have grits on the breakfast menu. Dunno if that's just a southern American thing or not.

[AJtheory]

Yes, regional differences, in Brazil, when the female employees are working the dining room, they have to move around on all fours

[Hell6125]

In Australia, the only different regional food we have is the "healthy choices" menu

[sangsomphil]

mcshit is the same everywhere stupid,SHIT

[Mariolandenluigi]

i have mc ribs

[indy66]

When i went to Hawaii in 2009, it had banana pies...mmmm...delicious!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@indy66 They do not offer this elsewhere? I think it may be selling right now

[indy66]

@CookingAndCrafting

I live in Canada (Montreal) and we have only apple or fruit pies.

[dinosaurhunter3]

philipenos also eat taro

[pvtskarm]

at mine i have an old mikcy d's from the 50's so i have speedy and mine has the pizza and mcspaghetti

[inupup19]

i hate taro there is a korean place that serves taro boba and ick lol but no we have no regional foods at mcdonalds in cali

[obamaswallows]

dishwater.... best looking item on their menu of shit.

[ChaoSSxRiot]

un mecdonald in french canada , we have Poutine , its french fries, borwn sauce and cheese curd :D but im not into it.. :P

[CookingAndCrafting]

@ChaoSSxRiot I have seen and heard of this and I do want to try it at least once!

[AnonymousQuebec81]

@CookingAndCrafting if you want to try a poutine, go to Quebec, Canada ... and don't buy the poutine in a mcdonald's .... go to ashton instead :) ... cheers

[ZGRB1]

@CookingAndCrafting if you want t try poutine, dont go to McDonalds go to a quebec restaurant like La Belle Province orif you're in Montreal go te the Orange Julep

[Yukmoufwolf]

Taro is like a yam, but it's purple. I love taro!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Yukmoufwolf I'm from Hawaii :) We know taro hehe Yep, it is good

[stankwho]

probably the healthiest thing on the menu

[CookingAndCrafting]

@stankwho Agreed

[miubabyxx]

very nice, in Indonesia Mcdonald's serve fried chicken and rice. And their big macs are tiny macs.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@miubabyxx ahh fried chicken! That's nice!

[micmac99]

Is McRib in Hawaii? (McRib is a ground pork patty covered with pretty standard BBQ sauce on a long sesame seed bun)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@micmac99 Yes, we have it here! limited time only

[VoreTechz1985]

NARUTO!!!!!!!! =D

[SaneeXD]

@VoreTechz1985 I WAS TOTALLY THINKING THAT XDDDD

[supersonicprices]

@VoreTechz1985 Naruto didn't invent Ramen you know...

[VoreTechz1985]

@supersonicprices The pink and white fishcake in the ramen is called "naruto" in Japaneese. That is what the anime character was named after. My comment had nothing to do with the anime. I just really like to eat naruto. lol

[SuperBarbieSlayer]

So cup of noodles no?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@SuperBarbieSlayer almost, but not quite

[MetalSock21]

wtf, im seconds into the video, and an ad pops up

[grimiguana]

@CookingAndCrafting no your a fag

[mastercalle]

Are you a girl or a boy?

[loveeehk]

[CookingAndCrafting]

@loveeehk nope.

[smarfling]

$1 Spicy Chicken Motha fucka!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@smarfling LOL!!!! 

[Autoworst]

we have something called McArabia, really delicious.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Autoworst I Googled this and I now want to try it :)

[sandman19681012]

Most informative...thank you for posting~!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@sandman19681012 Thanks :)

[auntbecky]

They're really big on sweet tea here in florida and all through the south which is terrible because i hate sweet tea.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@auntbecky They sell some kind of tea here that is made here, which is actually kind of sweet. But when you ask for sweet tea here (Hawaii), most places have no clue what you are talking about

[IlluminatReptilian]

@auntbecky So sweet tea is a southern thing? I always wondered if it was? I love sweet tea with lemon. I'm sure sweet tea is probably popular in the northern states though, probably just not in Hawaii. An that soup looked really nasty.

[DementedSoullll]

I have poutine in my mcdonalds :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@DementedSoullll oh, Canada! :)

[p154831]

mcrib?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@p154831 Limited time only!

[ToyKingWonder]

@ShyPandaPanda Where in Cali are you? In SoCal, we have ALWAYS had chocolate chip cookies...and they added sugar cookies as well.

[ToyKingWonder]

When I was in Hawaii, in 1974 (it was either Kauai or Oahu) and at McDonalds they had a fruit cup. This, obviously, was WAY before any fruit or salad items at McDonalds. There was another difference but I cannot remember. Back then, it was hamburgers and fish fillets only, so it was weird seeing a fruit cup.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@ToyKingWonder hmm I don't know that I even remember that. But we were pooooor growing up and didn't even know what McDonald's was until probably 1978 or 1979 when I got a 'side job' (as a pre-teen, then teenager) that brought in some money. Back then I remember that the kids meals came with a box of cookies. And that Big Macs were only 99 cents, I believe.

[ToyKingWonder]

@CookingAndCrafting When Big Macs first came out if I remember correctly, they were 55 cents. I am dating myself. When I was a kid, there was no eating inside a McDonalds. Most were a "T" configuration, with a sidewalk down the center outside that you parked across from and walked up to the ordering window, and brought your food back. My favorite was a double burger, which was actually called a double, and an orange drink. I think back then all they had was a burger/cheese, double, filet.

[RussX5Z]

I use to order this before at Mickey D's. Saimin is the bomb! When I was a kid I sort of laugh at this (I don't know why). I think it reflected back during my childhood when my mother said, " Look at that guy there, he's eating a hamburger and slurping that Saimin at the same time"  And to me at that time as a kid I didn't think Saimin and hamburgers match as a meal." In fact I still don't think they go well together. LOL! Anyhow are you in the island of Oahu?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@RussX5Z ha! Yes I am on Oahu. When you go to Shiro's Saimin Haven, you can get all kinds of stuff with your saimin. Maybe not hamburger, but my fave used to be teri beef :))

[WiLdThAnG19100]

That red stuff looks fake -.-

[CookingAndCrafting]

@WiLdThAnG19100 It looks fake because it is fish formed into that roll. But it is definitely fish :)

[Jaridias]

@WiLdThAnG19100

It's known as "Naruto" which is a fish cake. It actually has a distinct flavor, delicious.

No, it's not named after that crud show about ninja's. It was named after the food.

[y0utUBeH8r]

OMG how can you eat at that place,

[CookingAndCrafting]

@y0utUBeH8r oh my god.

[GamersMedia100]

im really really hungry, and suddenly strted looking for food videos

[CookingAndCrafting]

@GamersMedia100 did it help make you not hungry?

[lazybeachpanda]

new mexico has green chili burgers. and you can add the green chili to any sandwhich as well. as for a breakfast item im not 100% sure its just new mexico but we have breakfast burritos too. most locations have done away with breakfast platters

[CookingAndCrafting]

@lazybeachpanda haha Someone said that about the green chili! I think their quote was "if they can stuff it in a chili, they will." We have just those regular little sausage burritors here

[ShadowDraik1]

We have lobster rolls :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@ShadowDraik1 nice! Are you on the east coast?

[meganandremmie33]

you didn't say hey kids?!?! </3 :( *broken heart

[CookingAndCrafting]

@meganandremmie33 yeah I did this one looooong ago

[MsTasyaIsm]

In Malaysia, we have prosperity burger. It's only available on festive seasons such as Christmas, Chinese New Year, Eid-ul Fitr or Deepavali. :P

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MsTasyaIsm I will have to google this and see what it is about. Thanks for sharing!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MsTasyaIsm oooh you have curly fries and that prosperity drink sounds awesome too! Never seen that before :)

[MsTasyaIsm]

@CookingAndCrafting yup! the prosperity mcfizz is actually a combination of sprite and orange juice. it's refreshing!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MsTasyaIsm Can I ask you -- is the blend 50/50? Or do they use more orange juice and only a little bit of sprite? I want to try it, so I want to see if I can get the measurements right

[MsTasyaIsm]

@CookingAndCrafting I'm not pretty sure but I think it's 70/30. more sprite than orange juice.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MsTasyaIsm Thanks so much, I am going to give it a try :)

[MsTasyaIsm]

@CookingAndCrafting Glad to share and goodluck! :)

[MrEddieswife]

U HAVE FUCKING RAMEN AT MC DONALDS??? omg... fuck...thts amazing.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MrEddieswife LOL!! Yes ours does.

[MrEddieswife]

In Australia , we get porridge at mcers...yeh...thts our government for u!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MrEddieswife yes they serve oatmeal here too

[LaurenPoly12]

Poutine in Quebec. it's french fries with cheese curds and gravy

[CookingAndCrafting]

@LaurenPoly12 oh yes, someone told me that a while ago. That is awesome!

[squirreludecker]

@LaurenPoly12 poutine at mcdonalds would be awesome. Currently i have to go to Memphis to get it.

[CrayolaBoi83]

We have this steak thing for breakfast that i know Canada doesn't have.

[meggis18]

We have lobster

[CookingAndCrafting]

@meggis18 that's pretty awesome

[CrayolaBoi83]

@meggis18 i want some

[DarkStar6161]

You can by lasuna where I live!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@DarkStar6161 cool!

[Danimal102306]

Looks like a cup of round worms.

[eliteswordsman1]

In Georgia and Florida they serve biscuits southern styled chicken biscuits Big breakfast made up of eggs, sausages , pan cakes MC griddles, oat meal and more

[CookingAndCrafting]

@eliteswordsman1 NICE!! I forgot to go through a drive through or look at the board at McDonald's when I was in TN last month. I just ran in for my java!

[MeliMe2]

I'm in New Mexico...basically if they have anything they can stuff green chili or chipotle into...they will. lol

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MeliMe2 LOL! This comment made me laugh. I had a stuffed chile while in TN--someone from NM suggested we have it ;) However, it was good!

[itsabitofnuffing]

no such word as"breakfastes". it is breakfast.

[knobylob]

@itsabitofnuffing is it really that important?

[MissMochibon]

The other Hawai'i differences are the coconut pie and breakfast platters with protuguese sausage or spam with eggs and rice.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MissMochibon You mean the haupia pie?

I went and showed them the breakfast platters in a different video :)

Jack in the Box and Burger King both have the same as well (though no saimin)

[MissMochibon]

@CookingAndCrafting Yah, I live in Oahu :) I said coconut since I figure people outside of the islands don't know what Haupia is.

[danielle002599]

I dont even know what that is

[MissMochibon]

@danielle002599 It is the Hawaiian version of ramen noodles.

[skporto]

I live in Texas and we have all the different muffins, pancakes eggs & sausage or backon all that really good fating stuff. We do have a yogurt which is really good

[SoFreakingLegit]

We have rice in the Philippines!

[anmoose]

Gads! I think it's been a good three years since I've seen a McDonald's menu. I'm surrounded by them, but I still manage to avoid them. I know they've never had Saimin, and they do have biscuits 'n' gravy, and sausage biscuits, or did last time I looked.

[JadeLing35]

I'm from hawaii and I love to eat saimin on a cold night. I do recall when I visited the great state of TEXAS (houston) about 20 years ago their regional menu favorite was tacos... I wanted saimin when I went there but they didn't have it ...I just wanted to share that ... and i enjoy your videos keep up the good job!...aloha*

[purityfaith700]

I so miss Saimin from McD's and that Taro pie! So yummy! : ) TFS Beth!

[Ultimatecruegirl]

I always am interested in what you post. Of course anything with food is good lol. I don't think we have anything regional here. Sweet tea maybe? I know we don't have biscuts and gravy that would be awesome. I do love their new oatmeal with all the fruit in it. but I think they have those pretty much everywhere.
