This is ironic - a French Confession's contributor editor sent this article to me today:
As Dorothy said to Toto in "the Wizard of OZ" We are not in Kansas
anymore. I am always amazed how the French take something American
and make it their own. Today I was in the subway and I walked by an
advertisement....for the McChevre. that is a wrap with fried goat
cheese. Now I had to go and see what this was and perhaps try it.
Even though as an American in Paris I would NEVER admit to eating at
McDonald's, and I usually don't, but I may start. I went into my
local McDonald's and stood in line and while I was looking at the
drink menu, Coke, Coke Zero, what did I see but "1664." To those of
you who are unfamiliar, it is a French beer. Now.....if they only
start serving a nice red wine we are in business!
