Royal with Cheese

Yup, it's called the Royal Cheese and at the McDonald's at the A9 exit # 30, it's 3,40 euros. That's like $5.10. For a quarter pounder. Le Big Mac is the same price. There is no way a sane American traveler could eat at McDonald's with the exchange rate as it is. There is something called a Big Tasty for 4,50 euros. That's like $7!

What's a Whopper cost? "I don't know. I didn't go into Burger King."

We found it on our trip to Carrefour--the megastore in France. It was closed because the Romans executed some guy who bothered the rich, and then his followers built up a bit too much of a story around him a few decades after the fact.

On the plus side, the non-Christian places were open, so we found a nice halal butcher with cheap turkey that we ate tonight. They also have cheap couscous, and cheap spices. The nice part about living in the sector with a lot of Arab immigrants is that we get inexpensive meats and veggies even on Easter. I wonder which Muslim and Christian holidays fall on the same day...we better stock up for those days.

Anyway happy Easter to all. Maybe the rabbit, eggs, and all the chocolate contribute to the celebration of the story of Jesus rising from the dead. And may Jesus have mercy on the souls of all those who eat ham for Easter. ;-)
