Reuters reports that The U.S. flag serves as a doormat to an office and nearby merchants announce “we boycott American goods”, but Syrians can’t seem to keep away from American fast food at the new KFC fried chicken restaurant.
“I oppose American politics totally, but what does food have to do with it? Politics is one thing, and food is something totally different,” Tareq Mashnouk, a 26-year-old fashion designer, told Reuters.
KFC opened its first outlet in Damascus this month, becoming Syria’s first fully licensed American food franchise. It belongs to Kuwait Food Co. (Americana), which owns and operates KFC and other American food chains like Pizza Hut and TGI Fridays throughout the Middle East.
