For fast food, that's pretty good. I spend three weeks in Manila and discovered a Yoshinoya near the hotel half way through. Then found one in Honk Kong. I might have gotten tired of it after a little while, but when alone on a business trip, sitting hungry in a hotel room late at night, that was a pretty good option.

I don't think we're properly appreciating the potential for growth in the FF community as thousands of Japanese restaurant inspectors fan out across the world. We should be applauding this initiative!
(I guess this will be post #500 - do I get a cookie or something?

)Regarding the post #500, yes, you will get a cookie within 45 minutes of the post. I got mine, this morning! If it doesn't arrive in a timely manner, just go to your favorite local, Japanese restaurant, you'll receive a fortune cookie with your check.

Just came across this website:
http://www.lasprovincias.es/valencia..._20061102.html
disseminating the same news to Spaniards.
Of interest is the paragraph:
En diversos momentos se ha intentado hacer lo mismo con la cocina valenciana del arroz en el extranjero. Los resultados de fijar una Denominacin de Origen de la paella han sido nulos hasta el momento. En Berln, Otawa o Miami se puede encontrar el visitante restaurantes espaoles, en los que sirven (supuestas) paellas con tocino, guisantes, pimientos y chorizos.
Eso no es una paella, claro. En todo caso ser la Paella del Terror , sacada del recetario de cualquier presentadora de la televisin local que hace aos pas unas vacaciones en Almansa, que no pilla muy lejos de Valencia.
which translates as:
"From time to time there have been attempts to do the same with Valencian Rice Cuisine abroad. Any attempts to fix a 'guarantee of authenticity' to the paella have so far proved futile. In Berlin, Otawa or Miami a visitor can find Spanish Restaurants which serve (supposed) paellas with pork lard, peas, capsicum and chorizos.
Of course this isn't a Paella. We're talking about a 'Paella of Terror' here, pulled out of the recipe book of some local TV cook who, years ago, spent a holiday in Amansa, which isn't that far from Valencia.
