The Mutton Burge_: When McDonald’s introduced Mutton Burger

Well, according to an urban dictionary, the word “Burge” refers to spilling booze and it’s after effects. However, I live totally on Halal diet and the word Burge_ in the title came from truncating the letter R from Burger.  Now by connecting dots, the title refers to the McDonald’s newly introduced Mutton Burger in Pakistan which I happened to try last week. First of all this is what the Ad said about McDonald’s burger.

I ordered its Double Patty Mutton Burger with Tandoori sauce. To be honest, I thought it to be something different and somehow, unique. So far, I have only seen two kinds of options in burgers and sandwiches i.e. Beef or Chicken and tried McDonalds fish burger as well. However, this was the first time I saw a fast food restaurant offering a mutton burger. I ordered and tried the burger for dinner. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that extraordinary than I expected and as seen in the picture above. I mean it didn’t tasted bad or that bad after all but paying PKR 605 for something ordinary seemed like an experiment backfired. It almost tasted like Koftay; a traditional desi dish of meatballs in gravy.

Coincidently, which is funny, I had the same dish for dinner that night but I preferred the Burge_ over it.  I would say, Big Mac is an ideal choice and a full meal without any risks of having a bad meal whenever we get a chance to eat at McDonalds. After all, it’s a one of the largest food franchises and just because of a single experiment which backfired, I don’t think we should consider it a bad place to eat.

I guess that’s it …
