Deli Choices 3377388 210492291 2008-05-06T03:42:05Z 124.187.101.82 /* Australia */ {{Unreferenced|date=October 2006}} '''Deli Choices''' is a line of [[sandwich]] rolls containing different fillings. The rolls were released by [[McDonald's]] in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]] on October [[2004]]. ==Product description== Each sandwich is prepared to order. The bread is toasted (toaster conveyor belt, similar to a pizza oven) prior to being prepared. Meat and cheese fillings are heated in several seconds using a quick-steamer (similar to the device used to steam buns for the McChicken and Filet-O-Fish). The Bacon & Egg roll is part of the breakfast menu. ==History== A similar sandwich called the McHero was on the menu in the early 90's, but was recently brought back annually starting in 2004 in franchises in the [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]]/[[Akron, Ohio|Akron]] metro area as the Cavaliers Triple Double. It was also offered there in the summer of 2002 as the Thome Triple in reference to then [[Cleveland Indians]] player [[Jim Thome]]. It was also marketed in the summer of 1995 in conjunction with the [[movie]] [[Batman Forever]]. ==Variants== ====Regional variants:==== =====Australia===== * [[Bacon]] and [[Egg (food)|Egg]]. * Chicken [[Tandoori chicken|Tandoori]]. * [[Turkey]] and [[Cranberry]]. * [[Chicken]] Caesar. * Deluxe Brekkie Roll Discontinued Variants: * Classic [[Ham]] (October 2004 - April 2005) * Italian Supreme (October 2004 - April 2006) * Veggie Pesto (October 2004 - April 2006) * Change of Roast Beef to Barbecue Roast Beef (October 2004 - April 2006) * Barbecue Roast [[Beef]] (April 2006 - September 2007) * Chicken Parmigiana * Sweet Chilli Chicken roll. *BLT roll (part of Australian Bacon promotion) * Thai Chicken Served on a choice of wholegrain or white rolls.{{Fact|date=April 2007}} =====Canada===== * Chicken Caesar - Crispy or grilled chicken with bacon and lettuce, topped with Caesar dressing. * BLT/Turkey BLT - Smoked bacon, lettuce, and tomato with mayonnaise.
