When people are in rivers and lakes, whether it is to solve the lunch on weekdays or to comfort the hunger of travelers, fast food is of course inevitable. If fast food is limited to McDonald's, there will be no university. Fortunately, there are many choices for fast food.
A common fast food in North America, hamburger is the first one. This word is usually abbreviated as burger, and few people say the full name of burger in spoken language. Even fast food restaurants and regular restaurants often only write hamburgers on their menus. People who just went abroad told people that hamburgers were misunderstood as handbags. I saw it with my own eyes more than ten years ago.
Looking closely, hamburger should be considered as a sandwich. Any two pieces of bread with some stuffing can be collectively called sandwiches, either hot or cold. However, the definition of hamburger is much stricter. What can be called a hamburger must be hot food, and the middle must be a meat pie made of minced meat. Meat pie usually means beef by default. In addition to beef patties, some other fillings can be added in the middle of hamburgers. Cheese is almost necessary, the most common is orange cheddar cheese; ; Some hamburgers deliberately semi-melt the cheese after heating. White mozzarella cheese or Swiss cheese is usually used at this time. Diners who have no meat and don't like it can have two meat pies, just like McDonald's Big Mac, or add some crispy bacon. Common vegetarian dishes are tomatoes, lettuce, onions, mushrooms and so on. There are pickles, such as pickled cucumber, lime sour and spicy, very spicy Mexican pepper and so on. A more innovative way of eating will offer the choice of adding avocado, roasted pineapple or mango. There are sauces to choose from, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard sauce, barbecue sauce, garlic honey sauce and so on.
Various ingredients are layered on top of each other. McDonald's Big Mac is just a pediatrician, and the picture of the title is much exaggerated. This is a burger named Apocalypse produced by a chain store named Burger Priest in Toronto.
Hamburgers are usually served with French fries or onion rings, and sweet potato fries are healthier and more delicious. French fries are served with gravy. A tall snack unique to Canada is called poutine, which is made by adding cheese to French fries and gravy, and then adding fried chicken, bacon, or pulled pork (after the whole rack of ribs is roasted, the bones are removed and only the meat is left). Pudding is actually a very full snack. It is delicious. As for heat, it can be used to replenish the brain.
Similar to hamburgers, but simpler, hot dogs are usually sold in street stalls. There are not many choices of bread in general. The choice of sausage mainly includes ordinary sausage (mainly pork), whole beef sausage (whole beef) and Polish sausage (a bit like sausage, relatively dry). The stall owner puts the baked sausage in the bread for you, while the other ingredients are put aside and the diners add it themselves. In addition to onions, condiments and pickled peppers, there are usually German sauerkraut which looks and tastes similar to northeast sour cabbage.
As mentioned above, hamburgers are just a branch of sandwiches, and a large number of sandwiches are also the main force of fast food. Subway is a bigger fast food chain than McDonald's. Now ordering food at his home is more and more graphical and convenient. The first step is to choose bread: white bread, whole wheat bread, multi-grain bread, Italian vanilla bread, cheese bread and so on. When I was asked "white or wheat" when ordering food in a store for the first time in America, I didn't understand it until I saw the real thing. Now Subway has posted pictures and names of various breads on the counter, so there will be no more embarrassment. Then choose meat. There are all kinds of cold cuts, also called cooked food, including chicken (cooked chicken cut into pieces like ham), ham, turkey and so on. There are also hot meats such as meatballs (usually beef balls) and steaks (beef cut into small pieces). Then choose cheese, vegetables and sauces. If you don't like cold food, these sandwiches can usually be heated, and the clerk will bake them quickly in the electric cooker.
This is how Italian sandwiches are baked and eaten while they are hot. It is called panini. Bread is generally square or triangular, which is hard and contains a lot of spices.
The replica of the sandwich is all kinds of wrapping and stuffing, but it is not bread, but rolled up with a round pie to eat. Pita cake, which is popular in Greece, the Middle East and other Mediterranean regions, is a typical representative of the roll. A common way to eat is to participate in kebabs. The Greek kebab is called souvlaki, and the Middle East kebab is called Kebab. The two are similar. The main difference is that Greeks put lemon juice, while Middle Easterners don't add sour seasoning. Souvlaki is usually a whole piece of meat, while Kebab sometimes puts a vegetable between two pieces of meat. These kebabs are chicken, beef and mutton. Besides meat, some salads, sauerkraut, sour cream and sauces will be added. Pita cakes are sometimes used to roll meat, and sometimes they are cut like small packets to put meat and vegetables.
There is a special roll made of pita cake, which is Shawama. In 1980s, many cities in China sold a kind of Turkish barbecue, which was for Shawama. An electric oven has a metal column in the middle, and the meat is hung on it layer by layer to form a huge meat column. The column rotates slowly clockwise and the meat is roasted on it. When eating, the master cut a certain amount of meat with a long knife and wrapped it in pita cake.
Another very popular book is burrito. The dough used to make burritos is called tortillas. Unlike pita cakes, tortillas are not fermented. It's a skin as thin as paper, not a small cake like pita cake. Besides all kinds of meat, it is essential to add some rice and a big red bean. The sauce is different, too Mexican sauce is called salsa, and its spicy degree is different. Mild basically not spicy, moderate spicy, spicy spices.
The most important thing to eat fast food is to be fast. It's disgusting to queue up at rush hour. On the wheels of the United States and Canada, fast food restaurants usually have a drive-through lane where you can buy food without stopping. The car stopped in front of a huge menu display, ordered food from the waiter through the intercom, and then drove to the front window to pay for the food. Convenience is really convenient, and the functionality of fast food is also inestimable.
In today's internet plus era, how can there be no fast food APP? Personally, I feel that the best ordering APP in Toronto is gift. At least in the financial district where I work, one-third to one-half of the fast food stalls have used rituals visually. After ordering a good meal, I will pay by credit card in the APP. The store will feed back the time required to prepare meals to the APP, and then the APP will send a text message to remind you when it's time to leave for take-out according to the distance from your location to the restaurant. You feel better in the eyes of others when you bypass the long queue and go straight to the counter to get takeout during the lunch rush hour.
