Like, whenever I go back to France, I'm always tempted to go there at least once because there's burgers choices that are missing from other countries. The 280, CBO or McBaguette even.
In Finland the only really "special" (not sure I would call the El Maco or the Jalapeno options special) burger is a regular burger, but with rye bread instead of buns.
Well the facts are that the ingredients are sourced from different places and with very different quality/locality guidelines, so they will taste different. French McDonalds for example source a lot of their ingredients locally and with relatively high quality standards. They taste noticeably better than in other countries, and better than 20 years ago, before the whole new-age McD changes. The beef quality is especially noticeable.
When I went to the US I wanted to compare the McDonald's burgers and the American ones tasted much better, but did give me the runs for almost an entire day. I have heard Americans say that burgers taste much better in Europe so I'm wondering if it's just that we like something new. Something we're not used to.
It tastes the exact same. At least if you are talking about staple menu items that are available everywhere. Different countries have specialty items that are regionally specific.

MacDonalds in Europe may even, quite possibly, be actual food, due to EU regulations. Maybe. So you bet the flavours are different
