There was a hamburger stand in Al-Daura with the bizarre name of "Skylab."

They had these little beef patties (like you see on the cheapest and smallest burgers at McDonald's) inside a giant bun, which was about the size of one of thoes bread-bowls you put soup in.

It reminded me of the burger in the those old "Where's the Beef?" commercials.

It was okay, but I preferred the shawarma stand.

They call it KFC because it's not really chicken.

/obscure?

That's because shwarma is awesome. Though truthfully I've only had it in America, who's to say what Iraqi shwarma is like.

Did it have babies in it?

No famous bowls? I will not be eating there for that reason alone. I love me a bowl of chicken and corn and cheese and potato.

When everyone who walks in is a good candidate for a 'homicide bomber' wanting to take out that little cancer from the west that's growing in their country... yea, you kinda want patrons in and out about as fast as you can manage. More than 3 or 4 people in there at once paints a bullseye on the building.

/snark

Oh sure, they get a KFC but there there are no Dunkin Donuts anywhere in California. What's the deal?

I wasn't even thinking about that aspect of it.

Just that there have been times in KFC that the chicken I finally walk out with was an egg when I walked in.

A friend of mine lived in Pakistan for a few years. Because fast food places were backed by large and wealthy international corporations they were often the safest and cleanest places around. They even have private security watching their restaurants.

A real KFC though, not a comfort KFC.

The one stand I always stopped at in Riyadh was fantastic, but they used blonde, white women that'd been kidnapped and sold into slavery. After the cooter goes, you're food for the raghead masses on hajj.

The kofta that I had in egypt was great, too.

There are real KFC's popping up all over Vietnam. They're kind of pricey compared to local restaurants, but they're extremely popular, and also a heck of a lot cleaner and nicer than any KFC I've eaten at in the states.

/Now if only their delivery people didn't keep getting lost
//Oh yeah, they deliver, for free

I've had both and Dubai and Egyptian Shwarma. Tastes the same if its chicken or gyros. Beef is the meat I found that seemed to change tastes in every country.

//particularly if it was ground
///uh oh...

damn, I came to say the same thing.

It was the only american fast food chain I saw there. I didn't eat there though, I went to Lotteria instead.

We can't withdraw from Iraq now. All the fast food we've been fighting for will have been wasted.

There's also 1 Pizza Hut in Hanoi and I think 2 in HCM City, it's quite shocking because they've got amazing service, so totally not what I expect from Pizza Hut.

I've never been to Lotteria because there isn't one close to where I live.

It was good, although they did tend to slather it in that weird English HP sauce.

Plus, it was a little unsettling watching the lambs graze on garbage right after you ate one.
