Many of our fast food chains in America have gone global. While traveling abroad, you may take comfort in knowing that you can get a Big Mac regardless of how exotic a destination you may have chosen, as McDonalds is available in almost every country. You may not realize, however, the wealth of menu items available at otherwise familiar fast food establishments that we lack in the United States. Foreign countries have a knack for adding local flare to their menus. A cheeseburger in Asia may sport a zesty teriyaki sauce, while a similar item in Greece includes tzatziki. In some cases, menu items overseas are so bizarre, one might wonder if even the locals indulge.

1. Wendy’s Rugby Burger

   A New Zealand exclusive, the rugby burger comes topped with hickory smoked bacon, free-range eggs, and pickled beets. While beets may sound like an odd choice, they are a common topping for burgers in Australia and New Zealand, with their sweet taste complementing the savory, seasoned burger patty. American Wendy’s locations may pride themselves on stacking more and more meat patties inter-spliced with cheese, but New Zealand recognizes that flavor is accomplished by the right combination of accompanying toppings.

2. Domino’s Korean Triple Cheese Pizza

   Only available in South Korea, Domino’s triple cheese pizza boasts a staggering three-layer crust sandwiched with cheddar, emmental, and camembert cheeses. For the cheese monger, this pizza packs a delicious punch. While the chedder may not be much of a stretch, emmental and camembert are recognized as gourmet cheeses and are a treat for the refined palette.

3. McDonald’s McArabia

   The McArabia is only available in McDonald’s locations around the Middle East, and is a grilled chicken or kafta patty, flanked by onions, tomatoes, garlic mayonnaise, and lettuce wrapped inside an Arabic-style pita. Westerners will not find this exotic dish in McDonald’s restaurants around America. The soft, chewy texture of the pita bread provides a pleasant departure from the common burger bun. Likewise, the Eastern spices of the kafta patty provide additional kick to an otherwise bland beef patty.

4. Subway’s Paneer Tikka Sub

   Found in Subway Stores within India, the Paneer Tikka sub’s base consists of "cottage cheese slices marinated with barbeque seasoning and roasted to a light crispness." A delicious, meatless option, the cottage cheese rivals any American sub prepared with deli meats. In fact, a vegetarian has considerably more options at Subways in India, while its U.S. counterpart merely offers a veggie delight.

5. Burger King’s Nacho Whopper

   Should you go to Burger King in the Netherlands, you may encounter an unusual menu item known as the Nacho Whopper. The Nacho Whopper is exactly as it sounds – a burger with nacho chips, jalapenos, and Mexican sauce. Apparently, the Netherlands appreciate a good fusion of Mexican and American cuisine. The nacho chips allow for a satisfying crunch, while jalapenos and Mexican sauce spice up your burger to include a Southwestern tang.

6. Starbucks’ Coffee Jelly Frappacino

   For fans of Boba tea, Starbucks in Japan offers a coffee jelly frappacino, allowing for coffee drinkers to simultaneously drink and eat their caffeinated beverage. The jellies are made from Italian roast and, true to bubble tea form, are slurped through an extra-wide straw. Bubble tea is quite popular in Japan and surrounding Asian countries. Unfortunately, Starbucks has no plans to add texture in the form of chewy jelly bites to their coffee here in America anytime soon.

7. KFC Krushers

   Unlike American KFC’s meat-centric menu, locations in countries such as Australia, Germany, and the Philippines offer a frozen delicacy known as the KFC Krusher. A similar concept to the Dairy Queen Blizzard, Krushers are ice cream cups laced with various sweets and fruits. Flavors range from blueberry to dulce de leche and everything in between. Meanwhile, American KFCs serve up an utterly lackluster desert menu with far fewer flavors from which to choose.

8. Pizza Hut’s Golden Fortune Pizza

   The Golden Fortune pizza of Malaysia features tempura king prawns, chargrilled chicken, chicken loaf, onions, capsicums, and pineapple, smothered in roasted garlic sauce and baked to perfection. No Pizza Hut in America offers a dish so hefty or eclectic, with seafood, meat, and fruit all on the same slice of pizza
