As you've said before, when you travel, you try to stay away from the 'American Cultured' places (food places in this case..)
This being said; what kind of foods have you tried? Any particular ones that liked or disliked? (like the monotonous cornbread-things from Turkey?)

Do any of your guides frown on the the encroachment of our "fast-food" culture?
its kinda sad knowing that western society has warped other civilizations. have you seen any small town local restaurants? how often do you see pop culture in saudi arabia? hope its goin good.

Hey,
