SO, both Aetheling and Felix only loves beef hamburger? How about chicken and fish ones?

I think most schools in the U.S. offer second languages as either optional or required courses. It varies from school to school what languages are offered. Rural schools will generally offer at least Spanish. Larger schools can probably offer Spanish, French, and maybe others. A lot of Texas students take Spanish because we have a fairly large number of Hispanic residents.

You mean ground chicken and fish? Mom likes chicken and fish, but has never eaten them that way. Unless you count salmon patties, or croquettes. Mom had those a lot growing up - her mom used to fix them. Salmon with crushed cracker crumbs, an egg, and a little onion mixed in, and coated with cornmeal and fried.

Or if you mean just chicken or fish sandwiches, Mom likes those, too.

In Oz, the Macdonald offers deep fried Chicken hamburger (Chicken Royalte) and Fish filet hamburger. Are we on the same page? Now they make vegetarian hamburger also. I guess you have these products in US?

WE have smoked salmon sandwich in Oz, I guess you only use smoke salmon in sandwiches if you have fish in it? Sorry to be a bit naive

Sorry, I was at an online church service. I’m back now. I don’t know anything about languages in high schools now. Back in the Stone Age, when Mama was in school, her high school offered French, Spanish, German, Latin, and Italian. Understandable that in Australia they offer the languages of Asia. 😃 In college there were about a zillion different languages to choose from. Not just major languages, but even languages with fewer native speakers. I guess that’s common for universities. I don’t know what McDonald’s serves. Occasionally my parents stop there and get a big Mac.

McDonald's and most other other fast food restaurants here offer chicken sandwiches and fish filet sandwiches. Mom doesn't go to fast food places so often anymore, so she's not sure about the vegetarian version.
Not sure what you mean about the salmon? People here do eat smoked salmon and I guess some people have it on sandwiches. The salmon patties that Mom ate were made with canned salmon and it's not smoked. They can be put on a bun if you want, but Mom never had them that way.

McDonald’s does have chicken sandwiches and fish sandwiches. Ma makes tuna croquettes like that, Felix, during Lent. One year after she sautéed them and served them to daddy, he came up to the stove with his plate and said, where’s the tuna? 🤣 Mama had put everything in except the tuna! So they ate the tuna on top of the croquettes! 🤣
Tobbie, Mama cooks salmon fillets. Just sautéed with butter and a rub of herbs and salt and garlic.

Dad found that the big Mac becomes smaller and smaller in size nowadays! MUm occasionally will have a mac. But only a small one. It sounds to me you make your hambrger at home yourself according to your likeness rather than buying one outside?

Oh yes, I left out Latin as a language a lot of schools here offer. Mom took it in high school. She attended a small town school and the only other language offered was Spanish. Big city and good private schools can offer those others you mention, Aetheling.
Hi, Jas!

If Mom wants a good hamburger, she'll go to a locally owned restaurant here that makes good, thick burgers, rather than a fast food chain. Sometimes she prefers to make her own, though. Aetheling, that's funny about your mom and the tuna croquettes!

Jas, we've been buddies for a number of years, I can't remember exactly. It dates from early in our Catster years, so it's a long time. It's been a great friendship!
