    The real thing the US fast food market is missing is Indian food and it could be a serious game changer in terms of providing healthier / vegetarian options.

      There’s an indian place by my work that has a tikka masala wrap, thought it was genius as a takeaway item. Super delicious, but an extreme mess… the idea that it would be portable was a big miss.

      healthier

      Fast food and mall food court Indian restaurants are common in Berlin, and I wouldn’t call any of them healthy. Every single one leans heavily on deep-fried everything, covered in flavoured oil disguised as a sauce.

      The “fast” in fast food often works against the carefully prepared, fresh ingredients required for a truly healthy and tasty meal.

      In lots of ways, it’s the same dichotomy as Italian cuisine, where you can get amazing Mediterranean food at a sit-down restaurant, but the fast food variety is usually just greasy pizza or oil with a side of pasta.

        We have three Indian restaurants in the neighbourhood - tiny provincial town in Markgräflerland - and they’re surprisingly good. But I did notice when I lived in Brandenburg that they have the Scottish attitude towards food. Deep fry everything. Including sushi.
