I can't eat tinned fish of any type. Tuna, salmon, sardines. The smell puts me off too much. Funny thing is, I like eating it fresh :)

I LUFF canned Tuna. But I won't touch salmon. Like you, I like it fresh.

Mrs A.D. loves canned tuna. She takes great delight in breathing all over me when she eats it :bleh:

:lol: Mrs. AD rocks, man.

i'd eat it unless it had the metallic taste from the can.

but either way, it can't be as bad as... Vegemite. *shudder*

I'm with you there, krim. I could never understand the attraction :bleh:

I'm not a big fan of canned fish myself. I only ate 1 can in the last year besides this one. I prefer sushi or fresh salmon. I liked this one, cause it didn't smell like cat food. It's not sushi, but it's cheaper. :)

You needn't worry, Geez: they have KFCs, McDs, and BKs in Japan and through most of Asia. :mrgreen:

All of them have localized food. Like the ebipuri burger at McDs (shrimp burger). They have the classics like Big Mac / whooper tho.

i don't mind canned tuna in oil. :) heated and mixed with tomatoes and rice, yum. :victory:

but what i don't like is canned roast beef, which my boyfriend LOVES. eew, it doesn't even look like real roast beef, or meat, or spam... just processed... something. :shakehead:

When I was in Paris the other week, the McDonald's there carry a gyro-like burger called the Oriental.

My GF, who is rather picky and not into American fast food, really liked it... too bad we can't get it in the USA.



Cheers, :drink:

Yikes.

Canned tuna in spring water is fine, but only for tuna salad... Anything else, bleah. :bleh:

Shouldn't it be called The Asian? :beaten:

I guess the French aren't politically correct. :hehe:

It doesn't look so bad. It's not on the regular menu tho.

Yes.

Yes.

Interesting.

Though I don't go to McDs... I haven't stepped in one in years... Maybe decades. :beaten:

You're not missing much. :D They had a few good salads, but I don't go there as much as I used to. I used to go there once or twice a week in high school. I only stop there when I'm traveling for 5+ hours during Christmas or summer vacation. After eating I always feel like crap for 2 hours and regret it each time, but I still go. :beaten:

I prefer the Japanese burger chain, Mos Burger, when I'm in Japan. I do get the Japan-market McDonalds products though, like the san-kaku (triangular) melon pie.

In college, I went there several times a week, but since then, maybe 2-3 times in the past 20+ years.

There's much better burgers to be had at other places.

Hiya PC,

Heya Geez', what's the deal? Not into Asian food?

I think it's pretty safe to say, I do not have an adventurous palate.

I once stepped over to the wild side by putting orange marmalade on my PB&J samich instead of Welch's Grape... and I've never gotten over the trauma.

Makes people wonder how you got into J-Dramas... :headscratch:

I like British comedies and dramas too... but I'd probably starve to death over there as well. Have you seen what those people call bacon?
