We call Chinese food "Chiense food" is it the same for them?
chiense
If we took our "Chinese food" to China they'd probably wonder what the hell half of the stuff is, so I assume their American restaurants are all wrong.
I wonder if they have as hard of a time with forks as we do with chopsticks
I gues because they say "they are as fat as their food".
But, what do I know?
Chines food
American food
And so on...

Burger-hut, where they serve large patties of fried cow with ketchup. Yep. No buns. Also potatoes. Large cow patty with potato on top.
Well...considering we Americans aren't technically known for having one genre of food, this is irrelevant, but I suppose the would call it "shit".
I heard of a restaurant recently. They worked in India, selling Indian food such as tiki tiki masali etc. Every Indian guy thought it was exotic and not at all like their own food :D
They call it Hamburgers.
They call it whatever the dish is called, just like you wouldn't normally classify the food that originate from your country, you'd just call them each by their individual name.
'American'
Food.
What would you classify as American food? Hamburgers and Fried Chicken?
Grease and sludge.
Is there really any difference?
Really all America has is Americanized versions of other nations food, most the stuff you'd eat at Taco Bell they don't eat/personally make in Mexico, same with Pizza and Italy.
Can you actually picture someone in China saying "I wanna eat some American"? I can't.
well, of course no one says "I wanna eat some American". They hardly know much English, I'd wager. And as I said, our food is mostly sludge anyway.
They call it the way Americans call it.
shit
McDonald's
The only canada/american food I can think of is deep fried chicken or hamburgers.
100% serious
Chin Chan Wao's Burger Shop!

You're totally correct. McDonald's has invaded a lot of countries.

美麗 is chinese for beautiful so 美国 is just the name of America, so beautiful country should be 美麗 国 right?
