When I was living in New Zealand, every McDonald's branch had a "Kiwi Burger". Bun, lettuce, tomato, burger, sliced pickled beets and a fried egg, and the ketchup and mustard thing. The pickled beets and egg is a real "Southern Hemisphere" type of vibe.
I absolutely love beetroot - so that Kiwi Burger sounds right up my strasse ! I am sure that one of the more upmarket chains in the UK used to do something similar, or am I imagining it - maybe was Byron burger, someone like that?
@@GreenoEatsi was going to sugest the beetroot on your home made burgers i saw from early videos . Yp kiwi burgers are awesome . . They stoped them for a while then re introduced . . Not sure if they still do them . . We also had one called the Boss burger . . Like a dbl quarter pounder with 2 different cheeses and sauce and had lettuce and pickles . . Mmmmm Bye from NZ 👋🇳🇿🍻👍twa
Those burgers did look nice. I wish McDonald's UK would take a few experimental risks and do something different like that. I love the idea of a coffee milkshake, I guess it is similar to an iced coffee or frappe - yum. My current favourite drink from McDonald's UK is the Iced Latte; I just love it and fingers crossed, I hope it is here to stay. The McFarm is interesting. Do you remember the McDonald's UK McRib burger? It was an elongated pork pattie served in a sub shaped roll. Unfortunately it was withdrawn for "technical" reasons, because they could not guarantee zero cooking contamination between the beef and the pork; although they still manage to cook bacon.
The coffee milkshake was more like melted coffee flavour ice cream - which is by no means a bad thing! I do remember the McRib, with a sweet barbecue taste. I think the McFarm is better mind :-)
Many a happy memory of hanging out at the MaccyD near Keleti in Budapest, air conditioning decent WiFi decent grub and the ice cold frappes were quality too, well done on your hungarian pronounciation I too know the culinary wonders of being married to a hungarian, plus my parents were Magyar too, some great, people, great places and great food.
I would like to show more of Hungary if people are interested, as you say lots of interesting places to visit - as we know your average Brit will only ever go to BP !
Your choices there looked pretty good Greeno ! I've pretty much given up on McDonald's here in the UK, even if you go in the restaurant or drive-thru the food is rarely hot. It sits around too for too long after being cooked . With all these food delivery agents coming in to collect their orders as well they are doing too much. That McDelivery advert makes me laugh, everyone jumping on the bandwagon, guaranteed by the time their order gets there it'll be stone cold. I've tried it and tried warming the items up , fries are ok in the Ninja but forget trying to warm the burger. I have the occasional Burger King now, you wait 5 minutes and it comes out hot n fresh.
I never use the drive through and M delivery doesn't exist where I live in semi rural Dorset 🤣 Always order in the store, on the terminal and make a small customisation so they have to cook fresh 🙂
Very interesting thanks! I would love a coffee milk shake. Shame they don;t do them in the UK. I guess a frappachino from Starbucks/Nero/Costa would be the closest equivalent.
@@Benjipee77 well you're having fun in the comments section today aren't you ! It might look like it to you, but it's not a 5 minute job putting these together - planning, travelling, filming, editing, upoading, all takes plenty of time I can assure you!
The heat wave was crazy 😂 Love your Greeno-around-the-world videos 😊 McDonald's sometimes is nice if they have food you dont know 😊 coffee milkshake sound adorable ❤
I know it's only McD, but I'd be happy to get that burger flavour in any restaurant. And the coffee milkshake was an absolute delight! I hope that the England fans all behaved in Koeln this week Jessi :-)
@@GreenoEats absolutely, like little lambs 😂 It was very peacefull and a lovely atmosphere ❤❤ We are very happy in Cologne with english and scotish fans, you are more than welcome, come and visit our lovely brewing houses, stunning cathedral and cozy christmas markets 😊
Hello Greeno hope you are well and thanks for sharing your video with us 🤗 My favourite was the milkshake 😂 Wishing you and your family a lovely weekend 🤗🍀🙏
McDonald is my fave greeno ,this looked different to the UK but scrumptious 😋 have had maccas abroad but was same more or less ,had kfc in usa once and got wedges over their traditional fries/ chips wasnt a fan 😀
I'm glad you thought it looked good - the coffee shake and the spicy burger with the breaded cheese are two of the best things I ever had in a McD certainly!
What a lovely place. So clean on the streets. I liked the little 'English' shop too. That coffee milk shake looked good even before you tried it. Somehow everything looked fresher there. I have had a heavy meal this evening but I still could have eaten the burger and drank the milkshake. 👍🍔🥤
Györ is such a lovely little city, myself and Mrs Greeno are talking about going over again at some point in the none too distant future. I used to love that little English shop. While I love embracing the local culture and cuisine, sometimes only a slice of marmite on toast will do!
With Maccy D's fries ask for 'no salt'. They cook them fresh. Then get a little sachet of salt. The Hungarian Maccy D's has a great offering. Thanks for sharing with us what's available.
Yep - I do use that chips hack myself sometimes, if I am not in a hurry and happy to wait for the fried to be cooked :-) I think it's interesting to see what they have on the menu in other countries - I do love to try new things!
The kosher MacD’s in Jerusalem had an interesting alternative to milkshakes -because of the rule about not having dairy and meat products in the same meal. I never found out what it was - my Hebrew was nonexistent- but it was lighter and much less cloying than the traditional milkshake. Your Hungarian cheese thingy looked interesting. I’m enjoying your Hungarian travel vlogs- thanks for doing something out of the ordinary .
@@rosemarymee I didn’t try any fast food in the couple of trips I made to Israel, was too busy eating the most fantastic olives etc. 🙂 I am glad you’re enjoying the videos from my trip, they may not get the most views of any RU-vidr but I am just not a Roast Dinner in Benidorm or pie and mash in Tenerife kinda guy 🤣
Top video Greeno, it’s got its own spin on things over there. I’m not a big coffee fan although I will have one now and again. Enjoy the rest of your time there! ….Smithy
Everywhere around the globe has the basics I guess, Big Mac, QP with cheese etc. but it's always fun to try the regional variations. These ones in Hungary were great - that burger with the breaded cheese patty was I reckon the best thing I ever ate in a McD.
I had a McDonalds in either Singapore or Australia, can't remember which and they had beetroot as part of the salad in the burger bun. Wasn't expecting that! Like you, I am surprised they haven't done the coffee milkshake here.
There's another comment on the video about a McDonalds KiwiBurger in NZ which has beetroot and egg as well as all the usual McD favourites - sounds good to me ! I am sure they'd sell a lt more coffee milkshake than that banana one surely?
@@The-KimP the banana one always tastes to me a lot like those foam banana sweets - remember the ones you'd sometimes get mixed in a bad with the foam shrimps!
Depends - if they like burgers that look like they were put together by Stevie Wonder, unclean tables and floors, and staff for whom the words "customer" and "service" don't seem to go together then they're in for a real treat ha ha !
Hi Greeno,I’m not usually a Micky’D fan,but I must agree that their fries are only good straight out of the fryer,but there is a difference here to what happens to older fries in the UK, here they go hard,not soggy like the UK Micky’s do,must be either different type potatoes,or oil.I love coffee shakes,ice cream,or iced coffee,even coffee candies.Nice to see a Hungarian Micky’D review,I have seen some of the Asian ones reviewed.Try to keep cool,it’s hot here too,I refused an invite to someone’s house as it was 32C and they didn’t have A/C.this English lady just couldn’t face that temperature for several hours.😊
Glad you enjoyed the review ! I am not good with extremes of heat - so what's my plan for the summer vacation? Head to central France where it's likely to be mid 30s all the time. I must be mad !
I did once put a double expresso into a banana milkshake tasted good, the coffee was free so it was worth a try. Great video always interesting to see the menu variants from across the world
It's a shame they can't be as inventive over here! Coffee shake, sounds lovely, and those waffle fries looked great! I always ask for McDonald fries without salt, so almost without fail you get the new fried batch, before they let loose with the salt shaker! I've heart problems anyway, so don't need an excess of salt!
That's a hack I use for the fries myself sometimes (although I do add the salt myself afterwards - just want to be sure of getting freshly cooked fries! The coffee shake was a revelation for sure :-)
@@TimK2646 That's true, there is generally a lot of salt. You can ask when ordering that the fries are without salt - which is normally a good tactic anyway, as it means they have to fry some fresh 🙂
What a beautiful place and that McDonald's looked so clean as well. Glad you enjoyed the food there, some really interesting items on their menu, I would definitely try the shake and the burger with the fried cheese!
@@mamasinger49 it's sad really - I know they're only paying minimum wage, and probably don't invest an awful lot in staff training, but there should at least be a bit of pride in a place where customers are coming to eat - at least keep it clean and tidy, and try to present the food a bit more nicely!
That last burger looked really tasty! A hack I've seen is one or two espressos with vanilla milkshake, reminded me to try it at some point. Cheers again for the vids.
I am gonna try that espresso / vanilla milkshake thing myself sometime! And I can assure you that the last burger was great, like really good. Can't think of anything I hve ever had in a McD that could beat it !
@GreenoEats Being honest here , they have never appealed to me . Taken nephew's there , pallid patties , buns that deflate as soon as you take a bite . Not for me . Have had a couple of their egg mc muffin . They were fine . Hope you are all having a great " working " holiday . Just seen the great news that your mate Gary has passed 100, 000 subscribers 👏. I'm sure you will get there soon . 😁
@@catherineparr5489 yeah, really chuffed for Gary - he's such a likable fellow, and him and the cameraman have really put the work in. Success well deserved. It's gonna take me a while longer i think, baby steps ha ha!
@GreenoEats Gary started small , but like you, he comes across as genuine . We are not asking for a Jay Rayner report , ( have to confess I do adore The Kitchen Cabinet ), every time. What we viewers value is your honesty . Never been a Masterchef fan , so the only time I have seen JR on the show was the Christmas special . We love actually seeing the food "live", not just a static photo. Keep up the good work 👏
Here in Europe we have such a difference in regional tastes and flavours, I always find it interesting to see the fast food variations around those themes.
Tbh not a fan of any of McDonald's,Burgers King KFC . Admit in Germany they taste a bit different and some sell alcohol lol. The problem i have especially with the burgers i prefer my hamburgers a little rare just a preference but good to see European countries do things a bit different. Looked very clean place that does help . Take care Jonathan
Definitely not gonna get a McD burger with little pink in the middle that's for sure. I've been to branches in both Spain and Italy many moons ago, and you could get a beer. Unlike UK McD they had 3 or 4 staff permanently on the floor, clearing and cleaning which was nice to see, wish it was the same here, makes it a lot more pleasant experience.
Hiya Greeno was that a SPAR supermarket reflection on the window of the little Britain Shop?? Can't stand this stick a straw in every drink, hopefully a few more years before I have to have everything blended and suck it up a bloody straw🧋🥤. Pork burger, brilliant. The "Hot One " not too my taste ( spicy food wimp 😢😮) in general terms I'm more than happy to burger off to my local indie shop, and support them. But the chains, will survive with or without my few quid 💷💷🍔🍟Always good to see you with a big broad smile 😊😁 good content in the video cheers Allan&Family
Yep, there is a Spar across the street, they are everywhere! The pork burger was a nice change of pace to your standard burger, and the Eros Pista burger wasn’t really that hot, just spicier than I expected in that part of the world ! Agree with you though that supporting local businesses where possible ahead of corporations is the way forward!
That's not something I have ever done - although some people say it's amazing. Sounds like the kind of thing competitive eater do to make the food softer and easier to chew 😂
