Only in America

Because it was St. Patrick's day, I took my Mom to dine on corned beef & cabbage with her Irish-American buddy, and this popped into my head:

Do they have cafeteria-style restaurants in other countries? I mean, I've been around, but all of a sudden, I realized I can't remember eating at a cafeteria on foreign soil, except on military bases.

Yup. Loads of them.

Hey, get off their sidewalk when they are driving!

It happened one time while I was walking in a parking lot. I'm going to need to learn to fly in order to avoid them. Then again, I might get run over by the police helicopters.

So, back on topic:
Is the police and doughnut association something that happens outside of the U.S.? I'm guessing there are other foo that take the place of doughnuts in other countries, but are cops in other countries associated with eating fattening foods?

Here too, but we suffer from your imperialism.

Good!

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Not here.

So what's the view on cops over there?

So what's the view on cops over there?

What, in terms of food, or as a whole?

The former - there's no association. The later - I have no idea how to answer other than "it varies". You'd have to be more specific!

Let's start with food.

Oh, sure. We have them here in Japan too.
