Curry sauce is a staple on the British McDonald’s menu – and now the “top tier” fast-food item is finally launching in Australia. Words by Rebekah Scanlan.
McDonald’s Australia is releasing a cult British menu item Down Under.
The fast-food giant is currently running a “Sauces in July” promotion, giving Australians the chance to get their hands on a run of famous limited-edition condiments from around the world.
The first two sauces released were the brand’s Cajun Sauce and the “rare” Szechuan Sauce.
But now two more flavours have been released – closing out the winter promotion with Curry Sauce and Mighty Hot Sauce.

Curry Sauce dip is a staple at British Macca’s restaurants. It’s a “delicately spiced and fruity” condiment that is similar to the famous yellow curry sauce sold at fish and chip shops in the UK.
To give you an idea of just how popular it is, here are a couple of tweets from dedicated Brits declaring their love for the condiment on Twitter.

While the Mighty Hot Sauce, a spicy chilli dip that “packs the ultimate punch”, originally ran in the US alongside the limited-edition spicy nuggets.
According to American social media users, the sauce was “the real deal”.

The new McNuggets sauces will be available in Macca’s restaurants nationwide from Wednesday 20 July – Tuesday 2 August, while stocks last.

Macca’s previously gave sauce fans the chance to secure their “own supply” of the rare dips before they hit restaurants with an online “Sauce Quest”.
The digital scavenger hunt caused chaos with Aussie Macca’s fans who tried to uncover hidden sauce packs by solving clues.
Sauce supplies are “super limited” so you’ll need to be quick.
