We find food is very 'regional' here.I hate traditional English food - meat, spuds, and two veg - with a vengeance! And as for junk like McDonalds - my opinion would violate netiquette.
Names of things vary regionally, as well - all the following are the same thing:
Lancashire - barm cake
West Yorkshire - teacake (teacake has currants in in West Country)
South Yorkshire - breadcake
Midlands - muffin (muffin is a crumpet in S/West)
Give me a (preferably home made) curry or pizza any day, and mountains of salad, washed down with real ale or a good red wine.
