>Pictured is the Africa mosaic by artist [Eleuterio Pagliano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleuterio_Pagliano) in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Italy. It is one of four mosaics in the center of the Galleria that represent Europe, America, Africa and Asia.
I remember this as being the only place with cheap food inside the Galleria. My memory is a bit hazy, but there were at least two Italian restaurants with insanely expensive, and quite mediocre-looking pizza.
The current McDonald’s contest is to show how America managed to conquer Europe with shitty food. Every city has a McDonald’s in its center. Hilarious.

Is it fancy and dignified on the inside as well?
Do you know how they call the Big Mac there?
It’s the MyHolinessMcBurger. And they eat their fries with melted truffles butter.
True story.
Didn’t they push McDonald’s out a few years ago?
