Did you know that Big Macs, the famous item on McDonald's menu, actually taste a little different in different countries? It's true - while they're meant to have the same flavor all over the world, there are slight variations in the recipe. Thomas O'Neill, head of menu at McDonald's UK & Ireland, revealed that the Big Macs in the UK have a different sauce ratio compared to other countries. This may seem like a small detail, but it's an important one for die-hard Big Mac fans.
McDonald's recently made some changes to their beef burgers, in an effort to create what they call their 'best burger'. And while explaining these changes, Thomas shared an interesting fact with The Agency - the beloved sauce has a unique recipe in the UK. This is just one of the nuances in the ingredients that contribute to the slight differences in taste of McDonald's menu items across countries. But don't worry, the iconic Big Mac sauce is still the same delicious recipe that we all know and love.
According to a McDonald's spokesperson, these slight variations in taste are due to the ingredients being sourced from different places in each country. However, they assure us that no matter where you order a Big Mac, you can expect to receive the same great taste. But this doesn't stop fans from trying to replicate the famous Special Sauce at home. The mixture of pickle relish, mustard, onion, and garlic has been a secret recipe that many have tried to uncover for years.
If you're still curious about the ingredients in the Big Mac sauce, McDonald's has actually shared the allergens on their website. Some surprising ingredients include free-range egg yolk, glucose-fructose syrup, and calcium chloride as a firming agent. It may not sound as appetizing when you spell it out, but luckily, a former McDonald's chef has shared a way to make it at home without all the preservatives. In a YouTube video, Dan Coudreaut revealed that all you need is mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, classic yellow mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
