You’d think a McDonald’s burger is a McDonald’s burger anywhere. Not quite. In England, the menu sneaks in local twists you won’t find in the U.S. Ever had a McFlurry with a Cadbury Flake stuck inside? Or a Chicken Legend sandwich with a tangy tomato sauce that tastes like ketchup’s cooler cousin?
And here’s the kicker: portion sizes. A “large” fries in England is what Americans might call a “small.” It’s like the chains are politely reminding Brits, “You don’t need a bucket of fries to survive a rainy afternoon.” Charming, right?
