Of course there's KFC in Britain. I've never been there but can absolutely guarantee it. KFC is everywhere. You wouldn't believe how many there were in Thailand, almost as many as 7/11's. They are in over 80 countries. In fact, the only countries I've ever been in that *didn't* have KFC are Laos and Burma. We're so provincial. A person from Kentucky might be surprised to find a KFC in neighboring Tennessee, much less in Thailand. I'm even more provincial. I can get surprised when I see a Boston Market in uptown Boston instead of downtown Boston. |

I *think* there's one in the middle of London... it's only open in the mornings, though. ;-) Deb. -- http://www.scientific-art.com "He looked a fierce and quarrelsome cat, but claw he never would; He only bit the ones he loved, because they tasted good."

I must admit I'm rather impressed with the Curry Chicken Burgers at McD's in Belgium...those are goooooood and I want them here in Canada! I could pass on the Cheese Nuggets though. (Imagine a Chicken McNugget, made of cheese.) I always get a kick out of the different things they have at McDonald's in other countries. Seems that they always have the basic staples, but then they have a few "regional specialties". In Thailand, they had these pork burgers for a while where there was no bun but 2 patties made of sticky rice. They also had McSomTam (green papaya salad) which came in the salad shaker cup. Thais looooove fried chicken (hence all the KFC's) so McD's also has fried chicken. It really was amazing at how many franchises there were in Thailand. Some very commonly seen ones were KFC, Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, Sizzler, Starbucks, Dairy Queen and Baskin Robbins. In Australia, I've noticed McD's have an Aussie burger, which has beetroot on it. I'm not into beetroot in the slightest, but Dennis likes it but said that the McD's Aussie burger is vastly inferior to the Hungry Jack's one. From what I've gathered, Hungry Jacks is the Aussie version of Burger King. It's funny, but there seem to be less American franchises in Australia than there were in Thailand. I've yet to see a Starbucks for instance. Are there any on the other side of the country or are they just not in Australia? And before everyone thinks we constantly eat fast food...we really don't! It's just something we save for road trips. Also, we have done a ton of travelling and I know I've been to more countries than the average Joe. But many times we were glad of the fast food joints because they were about all we could afford. This does not apply to our travels in Asia, where fast food is way more expensive than local food from street stands. But after 5 years in Asia, you get to the point where you crave some non-Asian food, no matter what the cost! -- Britta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.
