Is McDonald’s introducing delicious food everywhere aside from the UK just to spite us? It certainly feels like it.
Japan has a katsu burger with cheese running through the middle, America has all-day breakfasts, and now Italy has a Nutella ‘burger’ on the menu.
It’s called the ‘Sweety con Nutella’ and it looks like a burger bun stuffed until bursting with hazelnutty, chocolatey goodness.

Now, we’re not saying you should all book yourselves on the next available flight to Italy just for this bastardized doughnut, but bear this in mind – freedom of movement across the European Union is not a long-term guarantee after the Brexit vote, and we can’t promise that the supply of Sweety con Nutella will last forever.
Can you make it at home? Maybe. Does it look and feel better to eat sickly-sweet food outside an Italian cafe with a top-quality espresso or cappuccino? We’re not sure why we even need to ask the question.
I mean, just look at James Richardson here. Would you get the same amount of cool in a flat in the UK? That’s what we thought.

Oh, and it gets better. We’ve had a little look at the McDonald’s Italy website, to see what other goodies you can get out there.
There’s a sandwich with *pecorino* cheese instead of the…well we’re not even sure what cheese you get in McDonald’s sandwiches here.
There’s something called the Crispy McBacon, which sounds like the name of an everyman hero in a sandwich-based children’s movie.
There’s only fucking tiramisu, you guys.
Oh, and the best part? You’ll be in Italy, so you can do other stuff like get a really good pizza and not have to speak to the people in England who you hate. Folks abusing you in the street? You won’t know because you don’t even speak Italian. Ignorance is bliss.
We’re just off to book those flights. See you in one Nutella-filled week.
