Would it be Buffalo Burrito and Antelope Enchilada in Cambodia?

there are close to 300 Taco Bells outside the U.S. That means your favorite Crunchy Tacos can be found in 26 countries around the world. But opening up a Taco Bell in a country where most people have never tried or heard of Mexican food isn’t easy.


Taco Bell United States , Australia , Canada, Chile , Cyprus, Greece , Iceland, India, Mexico , Philippines, Poland , Russia , Saudi Arabia , Singapore, Spain , South Korea, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom
Dominican Republic, Guam, Aruba, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and on AAFES military bases in Germany, Iraq, Guatemala and El Salvador.
Very surprised that they are in Mexico. That's like opening a pizza hut in italy. I just saw this posted on tripadvisor (old post):
My search of the Internet seems to suggest that Pizza Hut does not have an outlet in Rome, which I find surprising given that Italy is the home of pizza.
Just reading looks like they have closed all Taco bell stores in MX

Never realised they were in UK either, I have never seen one.

I don't think I would personally go. Then again, I haven't been to Burger King, KFC, dominos, Carls Jr etc since living here

Does it give you the squirts like the ones in the US do? I nearly shat myself in a cinema in New York after consuming their product. I was tempted to shit my hand and throw at people who kept on clapping and whooping at the screen

Actually, no. The first known pizza was from Sicily, not Italy. The latter Italian version was nothing like we know pizza as it is today. The first Italian Pizza was pita bread dipped in Hommos. Later, a variation was made for the last Queen of Italy with tomatoes and basil (Queen Margarita), but still not the same pizza style as we know it today. The first Pizza close to what we know it today, was developed in early 1900's in New York, USA. After WW2, returning US soldiers developed a taste for Italian food. The Pizza subsequently evolved into the "American Pizza" which was the first to have cheese and is what we know the style of Pizza today. This style of pizza was introduced to Italy in the late 1940's.

The true birthplace/home of Pizza is either Sicily or New York, subject to what is a pizza as you would identify it.

I wasn't discussing where pizza originated from, even though I think you are wrong on that. I was merely suggesting that trying to bring a shitty fast food option of something to a country where they make the best in the world seems a little unintuitive.

Modern pizza was developed in Naples, hence the term Neapolitan. very different to the Sicilian style which was a focaccia with no tomatoes.

Traditional American pizza is a alteration to the Naples version, more specifically the margherita which did include cheese.

As we all know, the Americans enjoy adding copious amounts of cheese to just about anything so it is not surprising that there style pizzas have cheese as the main ingredient.
