I've never heard of anything like that. McDonald's are everywhere, there are new American concoctions of dubious nature making their way into the mainstream everyday and half the central streets of any given city seem to be made out of kebab joints.
- paganel 5y agoI may be wrong and too I’m too lazy to search, but I think that at some point France was one of the biggest markets for MacDo. But honestly nothing can beat that kebab/swawarma thing, that stuff is the best meat for the buck you can get (and quite tasty, too). I’m surprised the kebab culture hasn’t made any big inroads in the States just yet, or it doesn’t seen that it has from half a world away.

- Bayart 5y ago>the best meat for the buck you can get In France it's usually the worst meat available, aggregated with salt and spices to hide the horror. McDonald's has the best meat I'm aware of and they've gone to great lengths to wash their shit food image.
