The McItaly Burger

The Italian Minister of Agriculture is a fan:

Minister Luca Zaia has argued that McDonald's new McItaly burger — using all Italian beef, Asiago cheese and artichoke spread — will pump (EURO)3.5 million ($4.8 million) more a month into the pockets of Italian farmers grappling with tough economic times.

The slow foodies are upset:

"Taste, like identity, has value only when there are differences," Petrini wrote.

Well, we don't have artichoke spread on our McDonald's, though it sounds yummy to me.

What I liked best in Italy was the gelati. Wonder if that's on the menu.
