I... don't recall every seeing a Burger King when I went, actually, though judging by what other western chains do it would just be a transliteration. On the whole cultural "appropriation" thing, and as thread content, I've heard someone use it as an argument against dubs before.

It's called a Whopper and it's the same as the North American Whopper. Here, have some pictures: http://www.burgerkingjapan.co.jp/menu/index.html

In Australia Burger King is pretty much the same but renamed "Hungry Jacks". Same style signs and lettering and menu. Just changed name.

Whitlam posted:The few people around were suitably awkward and embarrassed (because of him, not because of me misreading the situation). As far as I can tell, I think he was invited out of social obligation, rather than because they liked him and thought he was a cool good guy. He spoke with a bullshit affectation "theatre student" voice (you know the one I mean) and I'd bet money on him owning several fedoras. Maybe if he was literal royalty I'd have considered it, but he was just a princess (of the non-royal, very precious variety). I dunno, he sounds more like a queen to me.

Make a philly cheesesteak for a midnight meal. Have Lucky Charms for lunch. It's whatever. If I have leftover pizza, I'll eat that for breakfast sometimes. The only thing I don't understand is people eating food cold or uncooked. Like cold pizza or broccoli.

quote:As they are very perishable, Weisswürste traditionally were manufactured early in the morning and prepared and eaten as a snack between breakfast and lunch; there is a saying that the sausages should not be allowed to hear the noon chime of the church bells.[1] Traditionally, Weisswürste may only be served until midday because preservatives are not used, the meat is not smoked, and hence the sausage is made fresh every day; indeed, they are sometimes called morning sausages. Before modern refrigeration technologies, in summertime the sausages would go bad before nightfall. Even today, most Bavarians eat Weisswürste before noon.

And there are no laws against drinking in public in Japan--you can crack a beer or canned cocktail open on the train home, etc.--so I imagine you can get it to go. I'm heading there on Wednesday; I'll ask.

In Queensland I think you can't sell alcohol in supermarkets, but it's Queensland and also there's a bottle-o next to every supermarket anyway so it doesn't matter. Google says it's in other states too? I don't know, I'm pretty sure they stocked alcohol last time I was in a sydney supermarket.

Can't buy grog at the supermarket here (NSW) but pretty much every supermarket has an attached liquor store that gets labelled as a department by staff.

You can definitely buy alcohol in supermarkets in Victoria. My local Coles has a liquor aisle, and practically every little independant supermarket has a liquor section.

Hyperlynx posted:I think it's just Australia and the US who have weird hangups about alcohol, isn't it? I think pretty much everywhere else you can buy it basically everywhere. Haha, no. I live in Norway and grocery stores cannot sell anything stronger than regular beer (I think the limit is 4.7% ABV); also alcohol sales are restricted by time (sale has to be completed by 20:00 on weekdays and 18:00 on Saturdays even though the store is open longer). For anything stronger you have to go to a specialist monopoly store (which I don't really mind much since this results in a proper specialist store which has a very nice selection and where the staff actually know their poo poo; a bit inconvenient for the people who live out in the sticks with no such store in the immediate vicinity, though). Used to be worse, only a decade or two ago in some parts of the country you might have to go for quite a bit of a drive to find a store that would even carry beer. Also back in the interwar period we had our own Prohibition which lasted for about a decade and worked about as well as you'd think (although our population was too small to support much in the way of a proper mafia so it mostly resulted in a lot of moonshine being produced all over the place, a tradition which has lasted to the present day).
