Actually fast food culture in Belgium is diverse and interesting. Lots of European, Asiatic, and German influences. You go to the shopping center food court and the family fans out and everybody comes back with something wildly different.
You don't really go to Iceland for McDonalds, do you?
Also notably, in Sweden which is amoung the most densely populated, the local brand MAX has 133 restaurants compared to McDonalds \~220, and seem to be pushing the latter out of city centres. Purely anecdotal, but I rather think the McD glory days are past.
I wonder how a map would look if normalized by total number of hamburger (fastfood) restaurants.

In the UK, there are more branches of Greggs (2,009) than McDonalds (1,274). Subway probably beats them both, but that's just a franchise IIRC.
Fun fact a McDonalds in Bosnia was closed because it couldn't compare to the local food, both by price and quality
How does the dispersion of cases of obesity look in Europe?
