American bubble

One of my co-workers actually said today that the only dessert she likes in Germany is what she finds at McCafe, the McDonald's cafe. I was rendered apoplectic. Really, figuratively. What an incredibly stupid thing to say. Germany has a centuries old pastry and dessert making tradition called konditorei. It is absolutely mind boggling that she has never tasted anything here that she likes except for what she finds at McDonalds. Does she have no curiosity? Is she living in some American bubble?
