There are a lot less than there used to be, with the closure of markets
and changes to the 'old' way of life, but certainly thee is nothing that
sticks out as practical other than 'greasy_spoon'. So I'd go with that
until a more politically correct alternative appears. Tagging is after
all just about grouping similar objects together, and cuisine=78 can
just as easily do that if we all know '78' means a particular type of cafe.
