Wacky McDonald’s “Big Mac” Mashups!
Yes, I admit that #Quarantinelife is getting to me. I need an escape from the isolation – I need to mash up food!
Time for some of the wildest fast food mashups I have found from around the world, all through the filter of the golden arches – starting with this “deep fried Big Mac!”
More on this creation in a moment, but did you know that McDonalds sells some very unusual stuff around the world? Here are some examples:
Yes, that’s a “McRice” burger, and they have a Shrimp burger as well:
As you can see, Romania has a special menu to call their own, and if you went to India, you could order this:
“The Maharaja Mac!”
The Chicken Maharaja Mac is a grilled chicken patty filled with jalapeño, onion, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and lettuce dressed with a classical Habanero sauce.
As you can see, there are many unique McDonalds menu items around the world, but this one caught my attention:
A DEEP-FRIED Big Mac!
Yes, it’s a “deep fried Big Mac”, and I can only imagine how “two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles onions on a sesame seed bun” would taste breaded and fried!
McDonald’s seems to have a bit of fun themselves with their food. Let me suggest that you:
“McDo Me!”
Yes, McDonald’s has been mashing themselves up all over the world, with such offerings as a “McCurrywurst” and a “McDo!”
See them all by clicking on my story here:

Of course, fast food with a “south of the border” flair is called:
“McMolettes!”
It’s the restaurant’s take on the traditional open-faced mexican sandwich with an English muffin, refried beans, cheese, and pico de gallo!
And if you love sushi, but still want the delicious flavor of a Big Mac, then look no further:
“Big Mac” Sushi!
Yes, you can make sushi using the ingredients from a Big Mac!
There are no words to describe just how much I love this! And thanks so much to my good friend Nick Uemura for sharing this with me! I’d try this in a second!
Of course, I would serve that on my homemade “conveyor belt sushi bar”!
I love the guy who made a homemade version so he could still enjoy his sushi this way during #quarantinelife…see the video here:
Not sure I’d enjoy the flavor of a Big Mac turned into sushi, but why not give life a taste? And if you are in Japan, then you go to McDonalds for this:
The Mega Tamago!
See how McDonalds is stacking their burgers “mega Tamago” style – a slightly altered Double Big Mac with one meat patty replaced with an egg patty, and some bacon added as well – and many foodies have begun to make their own, with some getting really carried away:
As soon as the world reopens and I feel like going out, I’m going to buy a few burger and see what I can mashup on my own!

Some of these look especially crazy like the sushi & mega tamago. How are you supposed to them?!

I think those “mega stacks” are designed to be admired, then dismantled!

I would go for a deep fried Bic Mac, and certainly a McDo. BUT, a sushi Big Mac is just wrong, in every way imaginable! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, they can shape it like sushi, but you are correct: that’s NOT sushi!

Wow, these images make me hungry, John. I haven’t had McDonald for quite a while. I remember McDonald has a different menu in Hong Kong.

I think the fast food restaurants try to adapt to the local taste. Even Pizza Hut has different toppings.

I love all of these, John, except for the sushi. I don’t like sushi and a sushi hamburger isn’t my thing at all. I am also a bit tired of Quarantine life, John, but I have some inspired ideas for new posts and cakes.
