We love fresh seafood and BBQ's. And meat pies. But you can find virtually anything here.
I don't where to look for fast food statistics. So no, I can't back that up. But we don't have Taco Bell, Fatburger, In and Out, White Castle, Wendy's, Blimpies etc etc. We have far fewer chains here.

O.K. I guess instead of "who cares what people eat" (because you're right, I love eating the food of different cultures) what I really should have said was why when a gawd damn fore-enner is runnin' down the good ol' USA you always start with that "blah, blah...McDonald's...cultural imperialism..blah, blah." Why don't y'all just not eat at the fuckin' things? They'll disappear FAST, I tell you whut. I mean, why the fuck IS there a McDonald's in Paris. BECAUSE PEOPLE EAT THERE! And they ain't eatin' frog legs and pate, it's Big Motherfuckin" Macs alll the way, baby!
