26 crazy McDonald's items you can't get in America

McDonald's India offers many vegetarian items, from the McVeggie to the Veg Pizza McPuff, which features tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and an array of vegetables. Many international McDonald's sell veggie-friendly items, but American McDonald's do not, because they do not sell well here.

According to McDonald's India's website, "McDonald's has developed a menu especially for India with vegetarian selections to suit the Indian palate, and has also re-engineered its operations to address the special requirements of vegetarians." Further proof, another vegetarian item: the McPaneer Royale, which features paneer cheese, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers, and a cheese and onion sauce.

McDonald's Japan has a chicken veggie burger, which features a fusion of chicken, soybeans, and vegetables.

People love the Samurai Pork Burger (called the Samurai Burger in Singapore and Malaysia). According to Travelling McD's, it makes promotional appearances on the menu every year.

The Shakachiki Red Pepper chicken is a chicken patty with red pepper sauce you can sprinkle on at your discretion.

The Gracoro burger is a recurring burger in Japan with cheese, shrimp, and macaroni in a croquette.
