Food made from blood, we know also in Germany, for example "Blutwurst". In the area, where I live, just North of the Ruhr-area something similar to the Swedish blood-pudding is a local spciality (mostly available before Christmas). It's called "Panhas". I don't like it, Blutwurst neither.
Sure, nearly everywhere you will get food, which is only loved by a minority.
At a K 70-club-meeting in South-west-Germany (close to the AUDI-NSU-factory in Neckarsulm) once we got some butcher's specialities with new local wine. One of this stuff was pig-throat. Yes, the throat, just flabbly fat. It was disgusting (for my wife and me, others had liked it). We tried not to throw up, than we left the location quickly - and drove to the next 24hrs-McDonalds. My wife yelled, that she must have immediately that to forget the pig-throat.
But it was ugly, too, to buy a big bag of Mc-food (I don't like it generally) and to eat it in the night in the hotel-room. But it was an experience.
@taxiguy: I know Taco Bell from trips to the USA, but you should be sure, that it's not authentic Mexican food. If you go to a real Mexican restaurant, you'll get other (I'd say better) things.
For those, you have an interest about food, I recommend books of Anthony Bourdain, a New York-cook, who wrote about his life- and travelling-experience.
In Germany we all know McDonalds, BurgerKing, too, but it's less popular. We've also Pizza Hut. KFC and Subway are quite new and try to get their piece of the market.
I usually don't go there. I don't like this type of gastronomy, and the reputation of the tratment of their employees is quite bad (but at a lot of German discounters, too - nearly all of them are worse).
And last but not least: compared with local, private owned Döner-Kebab's, Chinese take-away, pizza-men (in germany often in Pakistanian or Tamilian hands), the prices of these fast-food-chains are quite high! For 10 Euro I got a fuller stomach at these private take-aways!
