The French don't like fast-food...

The French pretend they don't like fast-food...They claim it's one of the many horrible American inventions on earth, that it tainted the great old-style European way of life. They may have a point. However, the truth is, they can't get enough of the Micky D's!...Because let's face it, fast-food is practical, and kinda tasty.

One of the things that's so wonderful about the French is their love and passion for food. So, McDonald's had to take that into account. So if you happen to run into a McDonald's in France, don't be surprised by the menu; it's adapted to the French food culture. For instance, on their menu, they've got croque monsieurs and sandwiches with goat cheese.

You know, come to think of it, their version of McDonald's is probably tastier than ours. Actually, I'm not so sure of that because they don't have strawberry shakes or real honey sauce for chicken Mcnuggets with a capital 'M' (I'm sidetracking here).

Anyway, just some food for thought for Friday evening.

This is Lindsay, signing out.
