McItaly ‘Chew n Spew’ Burger Gaffe

When Italy’s Agriculture Minister, Luca Corruptioni donned an apron at the new McDonald’s Chew n Spew outlet in Rome to promote their ‘McItaly Burger’ he probably thought he was doing his country’s food producers a good turn.

Sold under the slogan “McDonald’s speaks Italian”, the McItaly was made “completely from ingredients sourced in the country," according to Corruptioni.
A greasy blob of meat plopped onto a square bun and layered with sliced tomato, a Vomitelli asparagus sauce and Asiago ‘old sock’ cheese (cunningly red, white and green ingredients to reflect the national flag) the burger was supposed to “promote the taste of Italy”.

Instead it has cooked up a furious argument, with Signore Wotde Fuccinelli, the founder of the Slow Food Movement, berating the concoction as a ‘pile of Yankee shit’ and accused the Berlusconi government of undermining Italian cuisine and a thousand years of culinary tradition in the name of commercial profit.
“You know, this thing tastes like a Neapolitan grogger – a bucket of shit with a crust on top,” Fuccineli told a reporter from the Chuck Up & Chunder Review.

McDonald’s founded its supposedly-innovative Hong Kong-based sweatshop Food Studio in 2006 to devise dishes suited to local tastes at its 31,000 Chew n Spew restaurants in 119 countries around the world.
