> French food is great ... except in France it's very different (and outside of the center of Paris sucks pretty bad) Can't tell if you're trolling, have never been to France, or just went to all the wrong places. The center of Paris would be the worst place to eat any great French food, unless you only care for pretentious, overpriced restaurants which get featured in tourist magazines. Go spend some time in small restaurants in Bretagne, Lyon, Alsace, Marseille, ... > Cheap Chinese food in Paris ... you'll be sick for days. Paris' immigrant Chinese population has been growing pretty wildly recently, and I've been to many Chinese restaurants with Chinese friends who are studying in France who find them pretty legit. Again, sounds like you need a better guide for when you're spending time in France :) > Turkish fast food, specifically Kebab, is as far as I know a German invention taken up by Turks, rather than something that historically existed in Turkey. Wikipedia disagrees with you: "With time, the meat took a different marinade, got leaner, and eventually took its modern shape. It was not until a century later, that döner kebab was introduced and popularized in Istanbul, most famously by Beyti Güler. His restaurant, first opened in 1945, was soon discovered by journalists and began serving döner and other kebab dishes to kings, prime ministers, film stars and celebrities. [...] In Germany the döner kebab was popularized by Turkish guest workers in the early 1970s with a center in Berlin." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doner_kebab#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doner_kebab#History
