The McFeast has been sold in Germany and Austria since the 1990s under the name Hamburger Royal TS (T for 'tomato'; S for , the German word for 'lettuce'). It contains a quarter-pounder patty, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and the McChicken sauce. For special occasions, it is sold in Germany as a McFresh which also contains cucumber slices.

(spiced ground beef). Both are served with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and garlic mayonnaise in addition to two small patties of grilled chicken or kofta, all wrapped in an Arabian-style pita bread. McDonald's has employed a rather large advertising campaign for the McArabia since its introduction in 2003, largely focusing on the Arabian-themed nature of the sandwich, and it appears to have worked well. The McArabia has been very well received throughout Southwestern Eurasia. The same product is also introduced in Malaysia with "Chicken Foldover" as an alternative name.


Buttermilk Crispy Tenders

Buttermilk Crispy Tenders were strips formulated with the buttermilk recipe used for the August 2015 revamp of the fried chicken sandwich, and were introduced in U.S. restaurants in September 2017. While they bear a resemblance to Chicken Selects, they are created and prepared differently. They feature a buttermilk chicken base and are cooked from thawed instead of frozen. This creates a juicier product than the Selects, as well as reduces cook time, though immediate supply issues caused them to effectively be removed from the menu until the end of December 2017. This was caused by demand being much higher than forecast. They were discontinued in March 2020 due to the

Salads

McDonald's introduced salads to its menu in 1987. Since that time, they have restructured their salad lines several times.

Sides


Apple slices

Apple slices are a common side that usually appear in happy meals. McDonald's added apple slices to their menu because the McDonald's CEO realized that kids were not getting enough nutrition in their happy meals so they cut the amount of fries in Happy Meals from 2.4 to 1.1 ounces and replaced them with a bag consisting of a quarter cup of fresh, peeled apple slices. "McDonald's Apple Slices are a wholesome, tasty side made from real apples. Specially selected varieties mean our apple slices are always crisp and juicy, making for a tasty snack with 15 calories per labelled serving. Enjoy it as a Snack or Side to your meal!" Said McDonald's.
