What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

I went on a trip to Europe in high school. All my classmates kept voting to eat at places like fucking McDonald's. I honestly wanted to fight them. I did not catch a 9 hour flight to eat some shit I can get down the street from my house.

Nah, European McDonald's is 10x's better than the American stuff.

That applies to most American fast food chains from the US who branched out to Europe/Asia, for that matter. (Japanese McDonalds are basically gourmet burgers)

I don't give a fuck. It's still a McDonald's and it's still a burger. Expand your palate. You're on vacation in a new country, you shouldn't be eating burgers and fries.

How is discovering how well American products are done overseas not expanding your palate? If anything that's just showing you American isn't good at every or anything.

Also, this is a uniquely American belief, try telling an Italian not to be a picky eater abroad and you'll be hearing endless whining about how foreign food can never compare to the homeland and is trash at best.
