Since the US is the birthplace of McDonald's, you would think we'd get all of the best menu items, right? Traveling around the world, you might get a different view of the fast-food chain. From getting a beer with your fries in France to specially named burgers in Japan, here is a list of McDonald's menu items that aren't for Americans:

1. McShrimp
This side dish is a favorite menu item in Switzerland and Russia. Why get french fries when you can get a large order of deep-fried McShrimp?

2. Pineapple Oreo McFlurry
When in Colombia, take a bite of paradise with this fruit and chocolate ice cream treat.

3. Sausage N' Egg Twisty Pasta
Did you ever think you would order pasta at McDonald's? This unique dish is a fast-food version of a traditional breakfast in Hong Kong.

4. Filet-o-Ebi
This burger is only available in Japan because it is named after one of the country's most famous models, Yuri Ebihara. The Filet-o-Ebi is a panko-coated shrimp burger with tempura sauce.

5. McVeggie
Great news for vegetarians in Europe! After a long day of sightseeing, you can head to McDonald's for a veggie burger.

6. Jalapeño Chicken Burger
In South Africa, this spicy dish is one of the national favorites. It also comes with a single, double, or triple patty. One taste of the Jalapeño sauce and you'll be bringing these burgers back stateside.

7. McMolletes
This breakfast dish is available in McMexico. It is a morning treat of three warm pieces of bread with beans, cheese, and delicious salsa fresca.

8. Alcohol
At many international locations, you can get a cold beer or wine to go with your meal.

9. McSpaghetti
The McDonald's in the Philippines offers pasta with marinara and parmesan cheese. Think that's strange? Get this—paired with your Italian dish you get a fried chicken drumstick, all on the same plate.
