McDonald’s Now Sells Fried Cheese Donuts
Eating deep-fried anything is the mark of an enjoyable day. Sparks fly when you bite into a generous piece of fried lasagna, snack on fried pickles, or take a few fried tequila shot. But let us go back to basics and say this: Breading gooey cheese and frying it in oil will never go out of style. McDonalds has done just that for its customers, but not in a been-there-done-that mozzarella stick kind of way. They're turning camembert into a freakin' donut.
Let's back up: The new menu item (which is only available in Germany as of now - harumph) has a crispy, golden exterior, and inside, it's loaded with the creamy cheese. In case you're not familiar with camembert, it's similar to brie: soft and made from cow's milk, but with a slightly stronger flavor.
The cheese doughnuts come in a 7-piece order so there are enough to share ... or just seriously pig out. The new side costs 3.99 euros - about $4.90 in U.S. dollars - and includes two packets of cranberry sauce for dunking.
One fan made a video of his donut sampling experience, and though we don't speak German, his “Oh my god” reaction confirms all.
Another Reddit user called them, "mozzarella cheese stick on steroids,” and that is the kind of culinary liberation this world needs. We are booking flights to Germany - and now, with cheese on our minds, also having a batch of mozzarella stick waffles to hold us over.
