Why not eating senegal food instead of hotel food?
Every opportunity to eat Senegalese food was a great day. Unfortunately for the group, there was a just concluded civil war and our hotel had machine gun-toting soldiers guarding the property. Not ideal for going out on our own. Of course, all of the New Yorkers in the group gave the tour guide a heart attack as we went into town on our own and visited a couple of homes of local students. That's where we had the best meals during the trip.
And although MicMac's wasn't close to McDonald's, I would classify the food as Senegalese: at least a Senegalese twist on an American staple.

Seems to me MicMac's (as described) *is* Senegalese food. Certainly as much as any other locally produced food.
In the US you can find just about any style of food. Americans tend to enjoy variety.
BTW, going to Paris in April and looking forward to the food (no I will not be having any hamburgers.)

I greatly enjoyed the food living in China for 2 years.
That didn't prevent me from also enjoying the occasional yack-burger when I was in Tibet though. No not McDonalds — this was in the mid eighties.
