Otherwise, you are crapping all over thousands of privately owned restaurants that represent real Americana, and real American food.

I disagree. I think it best represents our cuisine: highly standardized.
And that would be wrong. No giant, transnational corporate fast food chain represents cuisine from anywhere but a lab. And that's a fact, partner!
Yaaay, new movie poster came today!

Real American cuisine should be stuff like buffalo steak with acorn bread.

I'm currently scoffing down chilli and chips.

Had some frozen chips left over so I threw some of my homemade chilli on them.

Yummy.
I'm hungry.
Don't worry, us Brits have out British cuisine representatives in places like the Chippy and in Greggs.

Fish And Chips with a ton of salt and vinegar for £2.99... or a Greggs sausage roll with a Steak Bake and a bottle of pop for £2.
Or a meat pasty with a triangular packet of sandwiches for £3.

British cuisine at its best.

I would agree that I would define McDonald's as an American place, but I would never brag about it.
