McDonald's Golden Masala

As World Mc moves from France to India, McDonald's has introduced two Golden Masala sandwiches.
Hot Golden Masala (left) - which uses curry sauce, spices and grits (or hominy, but the photo looks like regular corn)
Mild Golden Masala (right) - also uses curry sauce and a chutney-mayonnaise sauce.

World Mac moves to Australia at the end of August.
