Parisien delights @ McDonalds

While watching the beginning of the McD's commercial, the music was such a big give-away that the new burger theme was going to be a French one, then a girl appears wearing black and white stripes an iconic image of France.

French Croque McDo

 

Having been to France, the McD’s there do not serve any burgers like that, however they have a CROQUE McDo, which is like a Croque Monsieur in burger form with ham and emmental cheese.


The McD’s in Italy however serves a burger similar to that.
I just felt that McD’s new French Le Grande burger is more Italian, the bread used is CIABIATTA is Italian, and the emmental cheese is from Switzerland according to Wiki, although France popularly serves it too.
SIZE:
Overall, the Ciabatta was very big, the beef patty inside it was as big as a Quarter pounder, but since the patty was round and the Ciabatta was rectangular, not all the beef patty was sandwiched in between the ciabatta.

Emmental cheese (pale yellow), Cheddar

 

TASTE:
Frankly it tasted like a Double Cheese quarter pounder, and the cheddar cheese was far stronger than the Emmental, so I couldn’t taste the emmental cheese.
The garnishing was a good match of onions, tomato and cheese.
After finishing the burger and washing my hands, there was still a strong smell of beef on my hands from the beef oils!!
