I went to McDonald's today for my first french McFlurry. The French McFlurry is slightly different from the American McFlurry. First of all they are smaller and the cups and spoons are different. The toppings are also a little different; the M&M's are peanut M's; you can get Kit Kat, Oreo, and a couple other weird ones; last but not least you can add caramel or chocolate sauce to any of the normal toppings which makes it more like a mixed up Sunday. I wouldn't say the French McFlurry is better but just different than the American. In case you were wondering whether the Quarter Pounder is really called a Royal... YES that is true(thank you Pulp Fiction). The mayonnaise is different here too, when I first ate it I thought 'hmmm this kind of tastes like mustard'.(I have yet to see anyone, other than myself, put mayo on their frites(that's french for french fries)) Later I found out that that in fact they do put a little mustard in their mayo, but I still put both on my popkins. Speaking of popkins french people tend to put sliced hard boiled eggs on all of them even on tooter fish popkins! I had one on the bus ride back from the Alps and it was actually pretty good.
The January sales ended today... I didn't find anything worth buying. I did however find this wonderful quote which I feel really captures the essence of trying to speak to the french:
"In Paris they simply stared when I spoke to them in French; I never did succeed in making those idiots understand their language." - Mark Twain
(hint: "popkin" is not french... figure it out)

Tooterfish popkins!! Say thankee sai, do ya ken? (And that's about all I remember of that. XD)
ReplyDeleteAt first eggs and tooterfish didn't sound good, but thinking about it, I guess you have both in a Niçoise salad, and I like those, so maybe I'll have to try it next time!
