They thirst for vengeance – or at least, for a large Coke and an order of fries –in Northern France, where the citizens of Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise have been ready to demonstrate in the streets because local bureaucrats are delaying construction of a McDonald’s the town has been promised.
Les citoyens are angry at delays to the opening of their new “MacDo” as they are called in France, and this week 200 were planning a protest to demand a new outlet of the fast-food chain, according to the Local.
It is not something the left-bank intellectuals want to admit, but the French love Big Macs. The Local quotes Business Week: “France has become the chain’s No.2 market after the US, with 1,300 outlets bringing in more than $5 billion in annual sales.”
The Facebook page gathering protestors has received almost 4,000 likes, nearly equal to the population of Saint-Pol, according to the Voix du Nord newspaper.

Can we export “365 Black” to Fwance with it? A Royale with cheese and bus a cap off in le cul, putain.
Nous voulons que notre Royale avec du fromage!!
Do they pay at least $15 an hr. or whatever the equivalent is in Francs. Probably not.
Avec! Avec!
They should have Pepe Le Pew as McDs’ mascot.
If I have to have a fast food burger. BURGER KING

Protesting. On FACEBOOK.
Yeah. That’s France.
It’s a little known fact that Julia Child, author of “The Art of French Cooking,” was a fan of the Quarter-Pounder. Only because of her voracious appetite (she was 6’2″ and always hungry), she was more inclined to regard them as appetizers
The big mac is rather tasty, but I think the secret is in the sauce. Which is (I think) modified 1000 Island dressing.
Regardless, viva la big mac!
