In 2001 I had a vegetarian (vegan?) burger at McDonalds in the UK. McDonalds in India already has plenty of unique veggie items on their menu. I’m confused by these statements.
- VoxPelli 6y agoYeah, we've had a McVegan (actual name) in Sweden and Finland since 2017: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelpellmanrowland/2017/10/12/mcdonalds-vegan/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelpellmanrowland/2017/10/1...
- motives 6y agoIndia is a more unique market due to the extremely high number of Hindus, who do not eat beef due to the revered status of the cow. This has a significant impact on the provisioning of products, as McDonalds would not be able to survive on beef alone.
- howlgarnish 6y agoMcD in India doesn't sell any beef products, period. The menu is entirely chicken and vegetarian options. (They tried a lamb-based Maharaja Mac earlier, but pulled it in favor of the current chicken version some years ago.)
