OTOH try getting a real salad in China

Or, god forbid, a pizza!

Mr. Pizza has you covered. A Korean chain in Beijing, who believe corn mayonnaise pizza is a good thing. At least Chinese pizzerias don't use ketchup as tomatoes sauce anymore....those were the days!

Although -- Kimchi pizza is pretty awesome after a long night of Soju and singing. But I never got the corn thing..

I always add kimchi to my pizza as a condiment. Amazing.

no need to go abroad for that. there's a mr. pizza in LA's koreatown. =)

There's a lot of places in the US you can't get a decent pizza.

Even in NYC the places with bad pizza outnumber the good.

That used to be harder than it is today. The one thing I could never get in china, however, was western style sausage. They just don't make it anywhere in china, so overly frozen imports are the only option.

There’s one type of western sausage you can get everywhere, globally, easily.

Volkswagen Replacement Part # 199 398 500 A

That’s VW’s own self-produced currywurst (in the past also from VW’s own farms, now they outsource that part of the production chain): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen-Currywurst

The fact that Volkswagen sells currywurst delights me, and the fact that they sold more sausages than cars in 2015[0] makes my day.

If you weren't already aware of it, I hope you are similarly charmed by the fact that Lego is the worlds largest manufacturer of tires[1].

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go call my local auto parts store.

And Peugeot make the best pepper mills in the world.

The East German restaurant across the street from the Saudi embassy in north sanlitun Beijing has good curry wurst.
