You have these in the US ?
Except...its not European in origin?Snyder said:You know what? I think kebab is the one fast food that comes closest to what one could call a "typical European fast food", no matter from where in Europe you are.
Well the kind of kebab you're talking about you get here in Greek/Turkish restaurants. Very nice.
The kind of kebab we're talking about looks like the someone's inverted a human scalp, filled it with cat shit and lettuce, then vomited over the top. Nevertheless, they ALWAYS taste good because you only ever eat them when you're more than 10 times over the drink-drive limit.

Wait, maybe it is genuine British cuisine.MuFu said:
Yeah, well, taste differs. I once ate bread in Ireland that crumbled like sand, and no surprise, it tasted exactly like it. Maybe the island climate doesn't allow for real grain to be grown...nutball said:Ah, the Germans and their "bread".
OMG... never, never ever order a kebab in western France. They don't even know what Döner is and you only get meat and tomatoes pressed into a grilled baguette. It was one of my most disgusting experiences of my trip to France, even though I like the french cuisine very much.pocketmoon66 said:

Hey! You can get a great range of foods in supermarkets in the UK, and make whatever you want to eat from the ingredients, duh!
I love foods! I always want more foods! I want to try different foods, and I always can! I am very satisfied with UK foods, we have almost everything you could want. We are missing horse meat (illegal) and jerky (very scarce), though. Also, I am very jealous of French range of ice-cream - we don't have nearly as much choice (sorbets too).
French fries are long and thin: we have those, but what we call 'chips' are much thicker (and often less crisp). What Americans call 'chips', we have too - we call them 'crisps'.
This thread reminds me of that joke about how the people of a country are named by what they eat. So the English are Roast Beef, the French are Frogs, and the Americans are fat.

you know, our french fries actually vary greatly from institution to institution. McDonalds fries are the most common among fast-food but I suspect that it's because they are cheap and cook fast. GOOD french fries are cut in very generous thickness and are then cooked just enough to turn them into french fries, but not long enough to let them get all crunchy.
I was going to talk about coffee and Americans. How Americans like their coffee black and like to gulp it down. In contrast to British who like to sit down and sip tea (with pinkie raised?) and nibble on biscuits.
I didn't kniw British like salt and vinegar on their fries. Americans' choice of condiment for their fries is, of course, ketchup.
There's other differences, like Cricket versus Baseball and Rugby versus Football (not what Americans call "soccer").
