There are many fast-food items that you can get in the UK but not in the US.

If you think the UK is just tea, crumpets, and jam then you'd be wrong, as its fast food industry offers a range of delicious treats.

From deep-fried chocolate bars to mac 'n' cheese bites, the UK has tasty options for grabbing food on the go, particularly if you're vegan.

The United States might have more branches of McDonald's than anywhere else in the world, and might be the birthplace of the cronut and corn dogs, but it doesn't always have the monopoly on interesting fast-food items. For example, you could get the "Purple McShake" if you're in Japan, or there was a Doritos Crunchy Crust Pizza which popped up at Pizza Hut Australia in 2014.

If you think the UK is simply Yorkshire puddings, toasted teacakes, and seaside fish and chips then you'd be mistaken. Fast-food is an integral part of UK culture, from baked goods with enough hype to have queues out the bakery door to a late-night bag of chips dipped in curry sauce.
