McBaguette at McDo

In four weeks I’m heading back to Paris for my as-often-as-I-can-get-there-mecca. I have to admit that my FIRST stop in Paris way back in 1972 (which was when I first stepped foot on French soil) was to a Wimpy hamburger chain by the Luxembourg Gardens.  I’m sure that it’s no longer there, but since I arrived in France with nothing more than $100 in my pocket, determined to STAY for 3 months I was on a budget…a BIG budget and unfortunately French cuisine would have to wait for date night and I’d be shopping at Carrefour and Prisunic (now part of the Monoprix chain), and heading into McDo on the run (“McDo” is what the French affectionately call McDonald’s – much like our “Mickey D”).

McDonald’s is as much a part of French culture as it is here in the States. As a matter of fact, while the French probably wouldn’t acknowledge it…they are the #2 consumer of McDonald’s in the WORLD.

Does that mean that as a tourist in the city of lights, that I should stop in for some “authentic” French fast food?

Beginning next month, McDo will begin serving hot, fresh baquettes with butter and jam (tartine) for breakfast at 130 McCafés around the city. My guess is that Parisiens on the run will be waiting in line from day ONE (just like they do at Starbucks and other chains).

Will I give up Poilâne for McDo? Probably not.

Am I curious to see what all of the houp-là is? Absolutement.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

    Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Hello! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site
    mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.
    I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might
    be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.

    I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing problems with your website. It appears like some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This may be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen before. Kudos

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

    Hi Dr. Deb,The way you describe what it was like to be hypnotized reminds me of what people say they feel like when they achieve that deep meditative state. Do you think the hypnotic state and the meditative state are one and the same? I guess one difference is under hypnosis you lose control, whereas when meditating you maintain control, but I wondered if the lowered brain-waves led to that relaxed feeling is the same.
