Yea, as in -> real food has to be "americani[sz]ed" and preprocessed thru
Burger King et. al. before they'll eat it... Shame.
We have 2 chinese restaurants in town, which both suck... (americani[sz]ed)
and 1 greek restaurant, which is extremely good but don't serve enough
(IMHO) choices in the way of greek food... They have gyros, kalamari, and a
few other dishes & the rest - american. (damn good american, but american
nonetheless...)
:-(
I'm continually begging them for new greek stuff - you can get a burger
anywhere, after all - and I was *finally* greeted with something new this
Saturday (don't recall the name, some type of lamb & beef dish with a
baked pancake-like topping - started with an "M") and it was fantastic!
[[ And my kids *love* kalamari & most everything else I make them try... ]]
I am *not* a normal american... ;^>

Gravy is *not* strange if you've ever had pickled pigs feet... after that,
you know that gravy can be made with many things other than flour or corn
starch... ;-)
hmmm.... Poutine anyone? ;-)
POUTINE! POUTINE! POUTINE!
Awrighty -- educate this idiotic american... what's Poutine? (Oh, and as an
aside, what's Haggis?)
