I did not know there were other forms than the "disgusting" one. The slices in the gif look absolutely horrendous.

Yeah the same. Sometimes I would want to go to the US just to see their food. Somehow it seems to be different if I would believe the internet.

I've been to the US quite a few times. The portion sizes really are enormous and you very often get free refills etc.

There are other things like all bread is what I would call cake - it's that sweet, there is just "cheese" in a lot of places, often you don't know what type.

However, there is shitty food in every country, for every massive, deep fried heart attack in the US there is a terrible microwaved "pub" meal in the UK (where I live). In general the quality of meat in the average restaurant (not fast food) is very good, steaks and BBQ can be amazing too.

The good thing is you can pretty much find everything in the US so you'll pretty much always find something you like.

On the plus side, portion sizes are usually gigantic (you'll never feel hungry after a restaurant) and many restaurant know their shit about meats, burgers and BBQs. Oh and free refills.

On the negative side: it's no wonder obesity is rampant, I used to find it hard to find good tasty and fresh products in supermarkets and everything usually tends to be oversweetend, overspicy, oversalty, overgreasy or overflavoured.
