That's fast food. Which you can get in many countries.

It isn't traditional American food.

NP - exactly what is traditional american cuisine?

Fresh pole greens, sliced Grainger County (Tennessee) tomatoes, stewed Silver Queen corn (from south Alabama), lady peas (from south Georgia), fried chicken (cooked in an iron skillet), sautéed squash/zucchini, buttered biscuits, and blackberry cobbler.

Is that a My Little Pony in the fast food picture? Now you've gone too far.

I've never really tried cuisine from Scandinavian countries. I've never seen any Scandinavian ethnic restaurants in SF, LA, or DC area. OK, maybe there are, and I just haven't looked hard enough. But, what are their cuisines like? The only one I am aware of is Swedish meatballs, and I only know of that because of IKEA (LOL), and which I don't like.

Yea, those don't look appetizing to me personally.

LOL. I have to try it now.

Personally? I can't stand Serbian and generally just Balkan cuisine--too much heavy meat and fat, and not enough vegetables. I haven't really had any Serbian food I've really loved.

I was at a boarding school in Scotland. We were served haggis on Burn's Day, accompanied by a bagpiper.

You know, to a starving 10 year old, haggis wasn't that bad!

What you described as good from Britain made me want to gag, so there's that.

I dunno, Ghana Cafe had pretty bad food. Usually some too tough goat stew accompanied by a gluten ball of some sort.

Yeah, the African food I've had in Dc, other than Ethiopian, has never been very appealing. I keep trying it, and it's always bad.
Agree Scottish is also pretty bad, except for the salmon and the desserts (trifle, sticky pudding, shortbread are all tasty).

Russian food is fabulous when done right.
And central Asian Plov is also really great. Yum.

That being said, I do not like seafood in any form and so Asian and Scandinavian countries would get my thumbs-down for cuisine (I would visit with an open mind but would have to find alternatives!)

There are some fermented fish items that the Swedish and Norwegians are very fond of: Lutefisk and Surströmming and probably a few others. I can't image that these are appealing to any human that was not raised on it since infancy.
