Yeah, it is definitely better now but I remember trying to find a place to
eat in the early 1990s - I forgot the location - and I ended up in a chain,
Pizza Hut if memory serves.  Abomination.

Or perhaps it is yet another urban myth, a legacy of the old Euro-joke:
Q: What is an European heaven?
A: French being the cooks, British being the policemen, Germans being the
auto-mechanics, Italians being the lovers, and Swiss running the trains.
Q: What is an European hell?
A: French being auto-mechanics, British being the cooks, Germans being the
policemen, Italians running the trains, and Swiss being the lovers.
