angus is a type of cow.

Answer 13

It is a particular breed of cattle.  

However, I hardly believe that McDonald's would serve anything like this without jacking the prices up a bit.

They're probably just calling it "Angus" just to make it sound cool.

Also, BTW, how much percentage-wise Angus in the beef does it have to be, to be called "Angus"?

Answer 14

Angus Beef is sold as a better quality of beef.  In the south it is very popular.  Maybe in N.Y. it is just becoming popular.  They do not pay people working at Mickey D's enough to be intellectually informative.

This is a joke, right?  Their can't be that many ignorant people in the whole word to not know what angus means.

Aberdeen-Angus is the original name of the breed as developed in Scotland, and the term is still in use as such in the United Kingdom. In the United States they are usually referred to simply as Angus or Black Angus. Angus cattle are naturally polled and solid black, although white may appear on the udder.
