      I was thinking they suddenly have to deal with being “one of the rest” instead of us being subsidiaries of the American Empire, but I like your answer too.

        That’s why it now says “All passports”. It used to say “Foreigners” and Americans didn’t think they should go there.

        Am confuse, it says Bürger, not Burger.

        Also it’s singular, what self-respecting American would get derailed by the promise of a single burger? Had it said “king sized double double down meal with a glazed donut burger on the side”, then sure.

    My first time traveling internationally, I was by myself at Gatwick airport. I saw the signs with arrows pointing one way for “UK, Channel Islands, and EU” and another way for “All Other Countries” or something like those. I misunderstood that as being for what your destination was, like people simply connecting in London on their way to some other part of the world, but not leaving the airport, needed to follow the second sign. It was only as I got into the lines that I realized the difference was not the destination but what paper you carried. I think since then in other countries I’ve seen them explicitly include “Passports” on those signs, which is clearer.

    In Dutch we call the mayor a burgermeester, which can be literally translated into burger master.

      There were couple of … um, puppet animators back in the 1970’s who did a bunch of holiday specials, Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass. The villain in one of their specials is named Burgermeister Meisterburger.

      It’s burgemeester, without the r, so you can’t literally translate it to master of the citizens. The burg here doesn’t refer to burger, but to burg, master of the bourough

      Literal translation would be: ‘citizen master’ as ‘een burger’ is a citizen. Sorry to spoil the fun.

      As a vegan American traveling in Mexico there were a couple times I got frustrated and ended up just getting an Impossible burger from some hipster looking place. It did make me feel American as fuck.

          With my non-vegan wife’s family it was shockingly difficult to find even that. Though Mexican food is dead easy to cook vegan at home, people there barely understand vegetarianism let alone veganism. Things are often cooked in animal fat, meat broth, etc.
