Our daughter who is going to Uni in Auckland, NZ also mentioned that she was disappointed to find out that the McDonald's there doesn't have the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit breakfast sandwich that is so popular in the U.S. She said, "Mom, they call cookies, "biscuits"!" It also follows that KFC in Auckland doesn't have their yummy buttermilk biscuits.
This is all very interesting, isn't it? I think that the differences in foods offered are one of the things DH and I enjoy most when we travel. Well, that, and all the interesting folks we meet. We like to hit the "Mom and Pop" places to eat. I think we were in Dublin, Ohio when we first encountered Chili Mac. And when we were in New Orleans, I discovered I just LOVE jambalaya!
