@Minion-Queen Warning: Pizza in Russia comes with barbecue sauce unless you order it "American style", it's pretty gross.
BBQ sauce on pizza is tops

Of course you US Mangoes like your American/Americanised foods. I'd be surprised if you didn't.
I'm not to keen on it, well not lots of it. It's nice every now and then. I couldn't eat it all day every day.

I like food from most countries. Especially coffee. I really like coffee. -
Childhood memories of Nutella and Cream Crackers (maybe this is an HK thing... maybe it's just a me-thing, who knows)

@julian looks tops!

The only place I visited is Dominican and Jamaica. In Jamaica they through out McDonald's due to it being unhealthy and the chickens being treated with chemicals. I was shock!
-
I liked McDonalds when I lived in Hong Kong. But I worked in an office that had a KFC on the ground floor and for a while I ate spicy chicken with mushroom rice every day for lunch, until I grew a second chin and decided I'd better stop. KFC in HK was great - KFC in the UK is disgusting.
Generally I find American food far too sweet.

Best coffee was in Ethiopia. But Congo was pretty good, of course if you wanted a cup it took you a day or so to make it. Go to market search through open air market for coffee beans. Take home pick out various identifiable and unidentifiable things (some still alive). Clean and boil for 10 minutes (had to get all the bugs out). Skim for bugs. Dry then roast over your funny little camp stove (you know the little multi fuel ones). Set to rest. Time to grind! Oh wait no power today to use the grinder, how bad do you really want coffee? Morter and Pestel to the rescue while you also try to get water to boil. One small cup later (cause grinding up too many attracts bugs and also takes too long). Creamer HA! Dream on.

I was lucky to get to have New York Cafe coffee while over there a few times. It was the winner of the best coffee in the world at the time that we were there and it was indeed very good. We were staying in a town very near that cafe so they served the coffee locally in Tuscany.

what was the origin of that coffee? I couldn't tell you the origin of what I had in Paris or Rome, I just know for a straight cup of coffee, damn it was good!

Origin is New York Cafe. They make their own coffee. If you want it, you can import it directly from them I'm sure.

We were staying in Montecatini Terme which is very close to the New York Cafe and nearly every cafe in town used New York Cafe's coffee. And it's Tuscany so coffee is life and they take it crazy seriously.

They may roast their own coffee but I can guarantee that they don't grow their beans
Usually when someone asks you the origin of a coffee, they are referring to the beans and where they were grown. -

Speaking of coffee, We have coffee plants in province. I think i can boil the coffee leaves and drink it instead of coffee seeds. -
Is that any good?
-
Just my silly idea. not sure if it is good .
-
Would you make apple sauce from apple tree leaves rather than apples? Part of what makes coffee good is being roasted. Would you roast the leaves?
