Fast food is everywhere — just drive down any major road and before too long, it’s likely you’ll see a sign for one or more of the large brands that are easily recognizable to most.

Perhaps you’re a fast food fan, and if so, you probably familiar with a lot of the foods found on menus at such restaurants as McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s and Dunkin’ Donuts.

However, these eateries also exist in countries across the world, and some tailor the main meals to fit the culture, just like in the USA. Here’s a look at some foods that, while foreign to fast food stops in the United States, are typical to residents in other countries.
