Personally whether the Sauce really tastes like Jerk Sauce or not, McDonald's are just adding a meal to their menu that has Jamaican flavouring on it, imo that's much less offensive than not having it because they perceive it to be "beneath them."

I’m sure McDonald’s have been making this burger for quite a while (or they had one which was very similar because I remember buying it a couple years back) and there was no issue like this surfacing so I’m a bit confused as to why this has come about now?

People could go on about actual worthy causes when it come to McDon's, such as how they contribute to the destruction of rainforests, keep expanding the disgusting meat industry, or even the crappy wages they pay the staff ... but no, what they call a sauce is much worse, apparently.

Respectfully partaking in different cultures is good, co-opting it for profit while trying to take credit for it is not. |

But ... I don't happen to agree Someone living today who wants to create something from another culture has nothing to do with imperial wrongs in the past. We are ourselves, not our ancestors. The imperial past of the Ottoman Empire shouldn't stop a Turkish singer from using Greek music, for example. |

Appreciation and appropriation are two different things. Katy Perry doing that infamous performance of 'Unconditionally' at that awards show was appropriation of Japanese culture because it was hackneyed and stereotypical and basically derogatory. She also appropriated Egypt in the same era with Dark Horse. She took elements of dress and culture from these two places and profited from it by presenting it as painfully stereotypical as possible. But ugh, I can't be bothered to waste my time with this. You won't ever get it because you don't want to. |

This isnt appropriation. You can find great Jerk Chicken burgers recipes online from many sources and many pubs will do a jerk chicken burger. This isnt an example but its always amusing to see this forums typical comments on issues like this.
A good recent example was when a bunch of female pop-stars starting wearing bindis on their heads as a fashion statement. Appropriation does exist.

I was referring to Burger chains as the thread is about Maccy D’s, we could also say Black Friday is a cultural appropriation with its links to the Thanksgiving holiday

The burger originated in Germany hence the name Hamburger

It doesn't work if they stole their items from another country plus one of the UK's biggest fast food joints in Nandos which is all British
Well they didn't invented the sauce but they tweaked it a lot
