FATAL is Surströmming but what about the rest?
DnD is probably McDonald's.

Invisible Sun is Russian Beluga Caviar. It's really expensive, but actually just tastes of fish eggs.

Pretty sure GURPS is a grocery store.

Pretty sure GURPS is a grocery store. Or a smörgåsbord (smorgardsbord for non Scandinavians).

Savage Worlds settings always seem to have a weird twist to them. They are rarely straightforward examples of a given genre.
Deadlands is a Western with magic and horror. Slipstream is sci-fi, but Flash Gordon style. Etc.
So Savage Worlds is fusion cuisine. An entree with a little of this, some of that, and exotic spices.

OK Ill bite (see what I did there)
Traveller is clean, compact, efficient, fast and good. Lets call it the protein drink of RPGS

Legend of the Five Rings would be really good sushi at a not so well known restaurant. There are lots of rolls and nigiri and sashimi(the classes), and each has several fish to choose from(Clans and schools). Its very delicious and filling(fun and rewarding), but there's always this fear that one day you could come on the wrong day and get that bad piece of fish(get the Taint).

Rolemaster is Spaghettos.
It's something I grew up with and enjoyed in my younger days and am occasionally nostalgic for... But trying it today it's ultimately unsatisfying...

Swords and Wizardry is Johnny Rockets. Luring you in with the biggest nostalgia train in the world, but totally underwhelming in the end.

Wild Talents is Sonic Drive-in. They have a little bit of everything(generic system), but they are known for their amazing drinks and shakes(Supers).

Maybe Fate is a smoothie bar? You can put it whatever you want, but it's gonna be a smoothie. A delicious smoothie.
So maybe FAE is pressed-to-order juice. Similar to the smoothie, but without all the chunks.
