Fast food is a phenomenon that is seen around the world, although fast food restaurants are not new to any part of the world, the rate at which these restaurants are spreading is and with each country there is a variety of foods that can be taste and savored by its visitors as well as the locals. The options of fast food are as diverse as the countries themselves. Each country has their own favorites of fast foods which makes it very interesting to find out about fast foods from around the world.

USA

There is a good reason why the USA is thought of as the ultimate in fast foods with the wide range of foods that are served such as the king of burgers McDonald's that serves up burgers and fries in their own unique way which seems to be their trade mark right along side of the Golden Arches that reach high above these outlets. Burger King and Wendy's that offer flame grilled burgers to entice their customers and visitors alike and of course, Kentucky Fried Chicken can't be forgotten in the plethora of fast food outlets and this is only mentioning a few.

England

Though you will find McDonalds in England their favorite is still the English fish and chips. Most fast food outlets still wrap them in newspaper or paper has they have done for years. It is part of their heritage and we would be sorely disappointed when visiting England to not come across a fast food outlet for fish and chips. The English are famous for it as they dip their fish in batter and deep fry it as well as piles of French fries. England is also big on sausage that are sold like hot dogs and are referred to as Bangers.

Australia

In Australia we find the usual fast food outlets for burgers and fries but there is more to Australia's fast food outlets than these. Australia offers some traditional examples of their own such as Australian Hamburgers which is a disguised burger by the different fillings that are used. When you're in Australia you ask for a hamburger with the lot meaning that you want lettuce, tomato, cheese, beetroot, grilled onions, bacon, with a fried egg and pineapple. They also offer fast food outlets that serve sausage rolls and meat pies. All of these are very popular with the Australians.

China

There is more to China than Chinese fast food, they also offer their own specialties such as steamed or fried dumplings with a meat and soup filling, fried steamed bread, spicy and sour noodles and lamb kebab to mention a few. These are found in different parts of china. Fish
