Many years ago our very frum daughter and her husband took their two children on their first trip to Israel. One result was a beautiful album stuffed with great pictures.
I remember sitting with the kids as the three of us paged through album. It was fun listening to them narrate the trip. At the end I dutifully asked them: "So, what part of your trip did you like the best?" One of the grandkids immediately answered: "McDonald's!" His parents had taken him to one of the few kosher McDonald's in the world.
It seems to me that his was the response of a Jewish American.
