I will have chips with that

The bad boys of fast food such as McDonalds, KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut don't exist in Kurdistan, but that hasn't stopped the locals from getting fat without the pulling power of international marketing. Everywhere there are places selling hamburgers, pizza and every greasy combination you like to the think of.

Hamburgers here are pared down,kept simple and rarely contain anything vaguely healthy such as lettuce, tomato or onion and NEVER EVER beetroot. The local version is like driving a truck of fat directly into your arteries. Served on a large bun, the hamburger is just a meat pattie, melted sticky cheese and then topped with chips!!
