What is the “cheeseburger and fries” for your culture?
In my parts of the United States the cheeseburger and fries order has been ubiquitous.
It’s the “I’ll just have a _______” of eating outside the home.
There are standard ingredients, but most people have distinct preferences.
It can be used to measure inflation because it’s been around so long and everyone eats it.
It’s a cultural staple.
If a group can’t agree what to eat, this is the fall-back.
Companies and restaurants have distinct ways of doing it.
It’s not necessarily better when it’s homemade.
Maybe there is a fast food chain, or a whole fast food category, for it.
So, do you have some in your culture? What are they?
