Although I have to admit that Mexican Coke is better. Dunno 'bout Mexican Coke, but the US sure leads, in my book, on such staples as steaks, corn chips (particularly blue-corn ones), and tuna-salad sandwiches (for reasons that escape me, that insipid bread of yours seems _ideal_ to house a tuna-salad filling). Oh, and micro-brews -- I'm not much of a beer expert, and I'll generally take a Tuborg or a Carlsberg Elephant over any other choice (Denmark really leads the world in this respect, I feel), but I must admit that some of your cities (at least Portland, Oregon) have an incredible, seemingly endless variety of diverse and very interesting micro-breweries. But your truly unchallengeable leadership is in *cocktails*. I have to patronize the costliest, poshiest downtown bars to get *decent* martini cocktails around here -- most US cocktail bars I know can do _at least_ as well for less than half the cost...! Alex
