Product Description
In most markets unfamiliar with imperial measurements, the Quarter Pounder is known as the Hamburger Royale, McRoyal, or variants thereof. In France, Belgium and Portugal for example, the Quarter Pounder, which by standard includes cheese is called Royal Cheese. However, "Royale with Cheese", as famously explained in the film Pulp Fiction, is not actually a name for the Quarter Pounder with Cheese anywhere. In English-speaking countries that have adopted metrication, the burger retains the Quarter Pounder name. The term Quarterão com Queijo is used in metric Brazil, Cuarto de Libra con Queso in Spain and in Latin America, and QP Cheese is used in Sweden. In South Africa there are two variations; the Quarter Pounder with cheese, and the Quarter Pounder Deluxe. In some Middle-Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, McDonald's provides both a Quarter Pounder and a McRoyale burger on its menu, the McRoyale having slightly different ingredients. In Chinese markets, the Quarter Pounder is known as a "full three taels" (Chinese: 足三両) because three taels is approximately equal in weight to a quarter pound. In Russia, it is known as Royal Cheeseburger.
The burger comprises a beef patty weighing 4 oz. (113 g) before cooking and 3 oz. prepared, pickles, raw onion, ketchup, and mustard. The more common variant, the Quarter Pounder with cheese, adds two slices of American cheese.
The nutritional content of the Quarter Pounder varies between countries and locations. For example, in Australia, which uses local beef for its McDonald's products, the average Quarter Pounder has a higher protein value of 33.7 g per serving, in comparison to those found in the United States. However, such values do not account for exactly all burgers within a location, as variation is always a possibility.
