Ragebait, am European, love American Food!

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In Europe, the portions are European sized. In the US, they are whale-sized.

In Europe you pay 20€ for a semi decent micro Burger some Hipster slaps together, wearing black Nitrile Gloves thinking his shitty minimalistic "Burger-~~Shop~~Artisery" will become the next big joint.

I think both cultures have their issues when it comes to food. Europeans are just more pretentious about it.

America has pretentious, expensive burger joints though, and Europe has fast food. The real battle isn't "American vs. European", it's "the people in power vs the people that aren't", in both places. Trying to draw divides like "Europeans are more pretentious about their food" is just a distraction from that.

Some places won't let you order a kids meal unless you have a kid with you.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why would they care? Is the rule really enforced?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Absolutely they enforce it. To the point that they rather you leave the restaurant.

Some places they actually discount the kids meals. Places that don't have this policy people would abuse it by only buying 2 or 3 kids meals since that is the best food to cost ratio.

I wonder what the nutrition is of the average fish and chips meal. That would be a slightly more reasonable comparison, wouldn't it?

Americans shop for calories per dollar.

Please don't look at why they do that, we're the best country ever!
