USELESS TRIVIA

There are more than 25,000 McDonald’s restaurants in over 115 countries. McDonald’s has actually been remarkably responsive to the local cultures: they offer “ayran”(a popular chilled yogurt drink) in Turkey; “McLacks” (a grilled salmon sandwich) in Norway, and “teriyaki” burgers in Japan. In New Delhi, India, where Hindus shun beef and Muslims refuse pork, the burgers are made o mutton and called “Maharaja Macs”. And if you’re vegetarian, as many strict Hindus are, there’s the “McAloo Tikki” burger, a spicy vegetarian patty made of potatoes and peas.
