I would add two to the above list.

The first is Harry De Wheels from Sydney Australia. It has by far the best “British” meat pie I’ve ever had in the form of the “tiger pie” which is a beef pie topped with layers of mashed potato and mushy peas and then topped with gravy. It is absolutely fantastic.

Second would be Herman Ze German in London which has the best currywurst I’ve had anywhere and the location I went to is within easy walking distance of the majority of West End theatres. Plus it has an awesomely phallic logo.

Looks like a plate of hurl.

It looks sorta interesting to me.

Counterpoint: I think that looks really tasty.

Counter counterpoint: NDallasRuss has eaten hurl before and enjoyed it.

That doesn't sound good at all!

I just really like shepherd's pie, and putting a shepherd's pie on top of a meat pie looks like a combination I'd enjoy. Meat pie: good, mashed potatoes: good, mushy peas: good, gravy: good.

It is amazing. Especially if you like good quality mashed and gravy. And it’s miles better than anything I’ve got equivalent in England, Scotland, Wales etc... Australia and New Zealand do “British food” better than the actual Brits because they use actual good quality and fresh ingredients rather than old %*%*. And this is the best of the Australian varieties.

 

[MIKE_G]

It might be good. Just looks like something someone ate and lost.

I too hold out Miami to be a foreign country.

I agree.

Nobody does meat pies better than the Aussies. Probably my favorite drunk food and hangover food. If you're in Boston, CuppaCoffee has great meat pies....sorry no potatoes or peas. Located near the TD Garden. Their coffee and a mince meat pie blows away any Dunkin Donuts.

Around Atlanta, the Australian Bakery (in Marietta) makes a pretty good meat pie.

I’ve never eaten in a foreign fast food restaurant so I have no clue what’s out there.

Yeah me either. I wouldn't know what's good.

Any one of about a zillion udon chains in Tokyo. I love punching your order in at a little “jukebox” type of deal by the front door and then handing the ticket to the waitstaff. Ramen is great, but I prefer udon.

Also, would love to have the West Cornwall Pasty company here, as well as Nordsee (a German seafood chain, but well beyond the Long John Silver type of food).

Same.

Although, I've always been interested in trying some of the international menu items in fast food places like McDonalds, Taco Bell, KFC, etc. Good or not, it would be cool if some of those foods were actually available in America for a short time every year.

One of the worst dining experiences I had was ordering from a Pizza Hut at the airport in Cyprus. I thought pizza was a pretty safe bet while waiting for our flight out of there. I got the pizza, grabbed a piece, and bit in - it was then that I realize that they used goat cheese on their pizza, which was a LOT stronger than the mozzarella-blend cheese I was expecting to taste. I normally don't mind goat cheese, but in much smaller increments. A whole mouthful was more than I wanted, and I wasn't as hungry after that.

I agree with you about Udon versus Ramen. I’d also add in soba as a preference as well.

You should check these out, just add hot sauces. Mom called them the Cuban version of Shepherd's Pie.

There are restaurants that serve avocado muffins smothered in gravy?

I would eat that.

I didn't read the article, but ever since eating at Nando's in South Africa I've really wanted one here. There's apparently a few up around Maryland last I checked, but nothing else.

 

[KitingHigh]

I'm sure those items are tasty, but they don't really look appetizing.

I'll submit these places from a country better known for it's food (Italy):

And if you don't like the delicious Italian food they also cater to the American pallet:

 

[ReliableOstrich]

I wish there were more Nandos in the states.
That peri peri sauce is damn good!

There’s at least one in Baltimore...on the ground floor of the hotel we often stay at, just the other side of Little Italy, away from the harbor.

This looks an awful lot like the McDonald's off 44 near Vinita, OK:

Looks more like baby diaper on a plate.
