It is amusing and disturbing to see McDonald s, Pizza Hut, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Ice cream is sold at every corner and on the coldest days. At my hostess s apartment there never was something that I did not recognize. However, it was always prepared in a different manner than what I am used to. Sour cream was served with everything.
Ketchup tastes different.
Cheese and sausage are staple items. Extremely large meals are a regular occurrence. It was difficult to refuse a second helping of food for fear I would offend my hostess. She was extremely impressed when I bought a four dollar cake for her one night. This made me take notice of the price of the food items that people needed versus the price of treats.
