Well, in one long trip to Europe, after a few weeks of having their wonderful charcuterie meats, I longed for a simple American ham-and-cheese sandwich.
It's the same with hamburgers. At the end of most trips, I started to look for McDonald's. Sadly, the hamburgers there often were not good. I am not a picky eater, but still remember a hamburger bought in Sète which tasted literally like a cardboard. The only redeeming thing was that for the meal deal, they allowed the choice of a mini Heineken instead of the usual Coke for the drink.
I got stuck in Europe for a while and totally agree. After a week or so I craved a Big Mac and kept going back every week. In Amsterdam they had American ketchup but it cost an extra 25 cents, I'd always blow the dough for two packs of ketchup.
