I imagine plenty of non-Americans have also eaten McDonald's in their home country
I remember that nightmarish NaNoWriMo in November 2018. I got writer's block a week in, and made the decision to switch projects. By that time I was thousands of words behind where I should have been (November is the big one where only 50,000+ words counts as a win).
To catch up, I was writing 8+ hours/day, and grudging every bathroom and meal break I took. Finally, on the last day, I just ordered a bunch of stuff from McDonalds and my win that year was fueled by cheeseburgers and Dr Pepper, as I grudged the time it took to even muck around with the microwave (yes, Maddy got fed; no story is worth more than my cat). I did over 8000 words that last day to push myself past the 50,000-word mark, which is 6000 more than most people do in a single day.
The foods and beverages people use to get through NaNo is a topic that's discussed on the forums there, every so often.
I see you've had our Mc'Donalds...delicious... but not for Thanksgiving... or for serving the NCAA champs on their White House visit.
You don't mind if I might choose to have a cheeseburger for Thanksgiving, if I serve it to myself? Truthfully I'm not a huge fan of turkey, as I find it quite dry. Turkey pie is okay, though, as there are potatoes and vegetables in it as well.
Holiday meals here aren't usually traditional. I have whatever I might be craving at the time, which could be pizza, pasta, Chinese food, a cheeseburger, or sometimes just a bowl of tomato soup.
Where on this planet can you find one of those anymore?
When I cook a burger at home, it's not going to have lettuce or tomato on it (or onion, or anything except cheese), so a 'fast food' burger has that over my 'home cooked' burger.
Buy a tomato, just to use one slice of it? (even in the fridge, rest of tomato will go bad before I need more tomato, as I'm not cooking a burger everyday, more like once a week).
Is it that you don't care for tomatoes in general? Or would you eat more of them if it was more convenient?
There are grape-sized tomatoes that my grocery store calls "snacking tomatoes". They're quite good and very handy - you don't need to slice them at all.
