McDonald’s to open vegetarian restaurant in India
MYFOXNY.COM -
Billions and billions served won’t mean burgers at a new outlet in India.
The fast-food giant reportedly plans to open its first vegetarian-only restaurant next year in India.
The Oak Brook, Ill.-based company has been known to tailor its menus to suit local demographics. In India, for example, it already uses chicken instead of beef for its Maharaja Mac sandwich. But this will be the first McDonald’s without meat on the menu.

I wonder what the prize is in their “Happy Meals”.
Gandhi action figures?
Malaria pills?
Tiger repellent?

Burger King already has veggie burgers. No doubt the Indian veggie burgers will be loaded with curry.
As for Happy Fun joy Meal, those people are more westernized now. They get Bollywood versions of Brats Dolls and Pashtun(पठान)Sponge Bob.

It will be a pull-string Obama doll. “The British Colonialist are Evil”. And every ones favorite “It’s Bush’s Fault!”.

What do we care? Mac and Don’s Supper Club saw a target market and rolled with it(and if those are gonna be curry-infused pseudo-burgers, then I hope they migrate over here so that their ‘food’ might actually contain flavor). Capitalism rocks, yo!
And Unruly Refugee has a point: I remember the days of yore when McD’s actually contained beef. I don’t know what they’re pushing now, but I’m reasonably certain it’s never been alive.

What, no deep fried cattails? Or breaded reed?
I can’t wait for the day when I get the opportunity to get a Big Mac with just grass in it and a piece of cheese.

I agree with what Wraith said. They saw a market and ran with it. With a population of over 600 million, and the predominant religious believe is Hindu, many Indians are vegetarians as a result, so it makes sense to cater to that market.
Now it would be different if they forced all the new franchises here into vegetarian restaurants.
