I don't eat out alot.
I love steaks, pork chops, chicken, and seafood.
Steaks because I am was born, raised, and lived in Oklahoma for 17 years.
Pork Chops and Chicken because my mom is Puerto Rican and that's part of staple diet of Puerto Ricans that and fish, plus rice, also don't forget beans.
Seafood because if I didn't get it from my Mom, I got it from my Dad who is from Connecticut.
Yes I would have to say Americans do grill alot, but grilling is healthier than frying and baking, just look at the difference between grilled chicken and baked chicken.
As for McDonald's, which I prefer Burger King or Taco Bell, the Super Sizing took place like people have said so I just get the supposed Medium Meal or something to that effect, because Large and King or Super Size are just too freakin' huge.
Now what gets me is that all over the country outside of the southwest I see alot of Texas Themed Grills / Steakhouses and that is just annoying to me, because most them just DON'T know how to cook up a good Mesquite or Hickory or Texas Steak like I could get in the Southwest, but from what I see, rich caucasian people love it, when I try to eat and just offended by the it. It's the same thing for other styles as well, it is hard to get a GOOD Fish and Chips, or some GOOD Hibachi here, but there is Sushi, though the Japanese Steakhouse we do have is more American than Japanese but still good. Best Mexican food in town is Mi Pueblo or wherever there are good Hispanic cooks in the Kitchen cooking up the Hispanic food.
As for the salt thing, I never use salt on anything, because the food already has salt, even no salt added food has salt, I don't know why people use large amounts of salt, guess they want to die from a corroded artery or something like that.
As for alcohol, I do not drink beer anymore, if I drink I drink only liquor, the reason being I just can't stand the taste of beer, even imported ones, I would rather be sipping on some Bacardi Rum, Chivas Regal Scotch, Irish Whiskey, Bourbon, or some good wine than drink beer, though I would like to try whatever the Vikings used to drink that was made out of honey sounds like something good.
I think I covered everything I wanted to cover, hope this helped at least to give you my viewpoint on the subject if nothing else.
Go ahead and ask questions if you want.
