Americans: Have you thanked a frenchman today?

[KEmperor]

Every American should go to France for a year after high school, or perhaps after univeristy, in order to learn how to live well.

How about no. I have friends who have been to France and they say it is naste.  I think we Americans know how to live that is why we have health codes and they don't.

Um....I'm sure the French have health codes.

In healthy societies like Thailand, people care about the quality of their products as they tend to be small proprieters rather than low-wage serfs.

That's classic.

What do you mean 'health codes'?  Certainly french food is far superior to american food - in fact our law about pastuerization is one reason cheese in america is garbage.  The quality of ones food has more to do with who prepares it than the laws regulating it - in america the underclass toils in the food industry spitting in everything they can get their hands on.  In healthy societies like France (or Thailand), people care about the quality of their products as they tend to be small proprieters rather than low-wage serfs.

Oh Your pastuerization what? French milk is not even pastuerization. That is why America has cheese call American cheese. I never heard of French cheese. And we don't eat the slug off our back deck now do we. FDA here to make sure our food is healthy and don't kill us.

Ok, I never thought I'd be defending the French on this forum, but here goes:

Josh, the French are famous for their cheeses.  They have some of the best cheeses in the world.  And American cheese is actually not that great a cheese.  (It has its uses though, as certain properties make it perfect for melting)

Any particular reason for bumping it?

Columbus Day?  He wasn't French though, and its a week or so early.

BTW: It is "La Big Mac."

as I recall, the McDonald's sandwich marketed as "The Big Mac" in english-speaking countries is marketed as "Le Royale" in french-speaking countries.

JJ is right. it IS "la BigMac" in Mexico.
But we also have different kinds of MickeyD burgers you don't see in the US (i.e. McTrio, McNifica, McLoca, etc)

Those are the kinds with rat meat, correct?

correct! At least they're not as fattening as the ones you have that have aborted baby meat.

Only Reaganfan eats babies.
