McDonald's recently unveiled a limited edition burger that celebrates the country of Ireland. While St. Patrick's Day is still several months away, this tasty burger provides the perfect way to indulge in the cuisine of Ireland.
The patriotic burger is called the 'McMór' and features a number of local Irish ingredients. 'Mór' roughly translates to the word 'large,' which alludes to the size of the hearty dish. The burger itself is made from locally sourced beef which is topped with shredded cabbage, baby kale, and tomatoes. The limited-edition burger also features several Ireland-inspired toppings such as Ballymaloe Relish and Charleville Cheddar. The entire burger is served on a potato-flaked bun for an added Irish twist.
The dish is only available in the Republic of Ireland, meaning residents of Northern Ireland will have to head south for a taste of the McMór.
