What McDonald's menu staple can't you find in India?
A few years ago when McDonald’s wanted to open new restaurants in India, it had to eliminate the portion of its menu that Americans equate with the fast-food giant: hamburgers. Hindus, who make up a large portion of India’s population, consider the cow a sacred animal and its slaughter a sacrilege. Indian customers at McDonald's can instead order a “Maharaja Mac” -- two all-lamb patties.
