It's a hamburger on a baguette

(Newser) – McDonald's is getting classy in France with the McBaguette. The sandwich is a version of the French classic, except that—unlike last year's version—it includes two McDonald's hamburger patties. And the fast food joint classed things up by adding "grainy French mustard," CBS News reports. How does it taste? One sampler deemed it "too dry," while a chef and pastry expert said it's "way too chewy. It's too soft. A regular baguette you buy in France would be crispy for the next 24 hours."

Looking forward to seeing the hundreds of other international variations on McDonalds' menus soon. Because dammit, these stories need telling!
