5 American Fast Food Items You Can't Get in America

While America may be known around the world as a fast food paradise, there are actually some menu items you can't get stateside. Here are our Top 5 oddities from abroad.

1. McDonald's Spaghetti and Fried Chicken (Philippines)

Fried chicken with a side order of spaghetti? Yes, please! McDonald's Philippines puts two great tastes that taste great together into one handy-dandy combo. Who wouldn't want to be asked, "Would you like spaghetti with that?"

​

2. Pizza Hut's English Style Pork Stew (China)

It's no secret the Chinese love pork (and, really, who doesn't?), but Pizza Hut China's "English-Style Pork Stew" may just set a new standard for parallel-dimension dining.

​

3. Subway's Herb Dog (Japan)

Again with the turkey, ham, and roast beef? Subway Japan's Herb Dog goes all-American with a greasy weenie on a bun. Why didn't we think of this!

​

4. KFC's Shrimp Zinger Burger (Korea)

You can order shrimp at KFC? Yes, you can, if you're in Korea. The Shrimp Zinger Burger is like the Korean equivalent of a Carl's Jr. Spicy Chicken Sandwich, but with shrimp. Meaning it's nothing like shrimp at all.

​

5. McDonald's Chicken Maharaja Mac (India)

Beef isn't exactly on the menu in India, what with the cow worship, so what's McDonald's to do? Chickenize, of course. Behold the Chicken Maharaja-Mac!
