Differences Between Western Foods

Hamburgers here are way different than back in the states. Most of the hamburger patties back home are just meat. Japan on the other hand fills it with veggies too. I also think that they are beef/pork mixtures. They taste much lighter and not like real hamburgers. A staple of all hamburger places too is a fried shrimp burger. It’s miniature skrimps battered and fried into a patty shape. I have yet to try it because there is fried shrimp everywhere and I don’t particularly want to try it in burger form.

The tomato sauce/ marinara sauce here is much different too. It’s basically thin ketchup. Pizza, pasta, and any other Italian foods are filled with the stuff. The cheese too is all processed. It’s one thing on a burger, but when they try to use velveeta to pass off as mozzarella, then i’ve got a problem with that. I want some real cheese. Oh, and the pizza here tends to be really expensive. Pizza-La, the equivalent of Pizza-Hut, is like 35 bucks for a large pizza. I’ve had better dog in Korea.
