yes, but these countries *used* to have their own cultures.  French bistros
where one could get a simple sandwich, English pubs and fish & chips shops
for instance. The locals would go to these places.  With Micky-D's the forced
upon choice is a *hamburger* not local cuisine.  Europe is ape-ing the not so
appealing aspects of American culture.

OK... a related question.  Since the hot dog is  the *All-American* food
(more so than hamburgers way back when, when fast food chains got started,
how come Mickey-D's didn;t hawk the hot dog and instead picked up on the
hamburger?
