Fast Food = cooked food that you buy in some kiosk to be eaten on your way... (My own Irene's definition).
1) In St. Petersburg, in Koroblestroyteley Street, they have the best kebabs (Shaorma) in the world... Maybe because those where the first ones I tried, when I was 19 (b.G.: before Globalization), and were eaten with appetite and in good company.
2) In the Netherlands you can insert a coin in a machine and get a Coke, a coin in another one and get a chocolate bar, and then a last coin in a third machine and get a hot hamburguer... Not very tasty, by the way, with some Dutch "touch" in the sauce that didn't convince me at all. I would advice to get three chocolate bars instead and wait to reach some place and get a proper meal.
3) In Britain Fish&Chips' fish is too greasy and quite disgusting... Chips fried in that same oil, I don't know why, taste very good, though, specially after pub crawling (half pub crawling in my case)! And, by the way, kebabs are much spicier than in other places in Europe I've been in... The Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi influence, I suppose.
4) In Italy you can get a piece of pizza in every corner, Pizza al Taglio, and it costs differently depending on its weight. On kebab local specificities, I'm afraid, I don't know... But food at an Etiopian cafe is worth trying! (Although it's not fast food in that case...).
5) In Romania fried chips are served INSIDE the kebab, all together with the meat, vegetables and sauce.
6) I would need some outer look at Spanish Fast Food context to detect local specificities... Help on that :) But yeah, I do have one (a Madrid one, in fact): we get huge sandwiches filled with fried squids!! ("Bocata de Calamares")
PostScriptum: Kebab is my favorite kind of fast food, just in case this fact passed unnoticed for any of you...

Pues yo creo que lo mejor en fast food es un perrito caliente en un mercadito de Navidad en Hamburgo.
Pero tomo nota, y cuando vaya a verte te invito a un kebab con patatas fritas dentro!
I am thinking i am going to eat kebab today... i don't know why... jeje
Que buena idea de post.
A ver: yo tengo que decir que el mejor kebab lo morfe en Varsovia, una casa turca era, picaba hasta el dia despues; pero muy ricos. Para empacharse.
En Argentina empanadas, para sumar a la lista.
But is shaverma really kebab? It smelled different...
Mi restaurante favorito de comida rápida es In'n'Out Burger en California - presumen de que todos los ingredientes son frescos y hacen las hamburguesas al estilo anticuado de los años 50... Mi menú favorito es una double-double (dos filetes y dos lonchas de queso en la hamburguesa), patatas fritas y un batido de fresa.
Another good one you can find in the UK is Pret-a-manger, the French answer to McDonald's, with baguetted instead of burgers. Another REALLY good one, although it's less healthy and less fast, is The Waffle House, which you can find in the southern United States. There, instead of fries you can eat ash browns and, of course, really tasty (and greasy) waffles :)
Is a shaverma the same as a kebab? Maybe that-s a good PhD theme :)...
It looks like it. Here is a recipe: http://www.mission.net/russia/saint-petersburg/page.php?pg_id=3116. Maybe shaverma is Russian for kebab.
