Culture clash à Orléans
OK this may be pushing the envelope of acceptable cultural integration. Most Europeans probably have encountered a doner kebab at some point. It's a Turkish dish served in a fast food restaurant which has (often in the front window) a large cylindrical hunk of meat roasting on a vertical spit (as demonstrated by the drawings in the window here). The meat is usually veal, beef, or lamb. It's sliced off in thin strips and put on a flat-bread like pita with a tasty sauce. I love 'em. Anyway, that's all well and good, but this restaurant has decided to merge the fast food concept into its name by borrowing from a certain well-known chain. I could only groan when I first saw it.

You're just upset that you didn't think of it first - ha! ha!
ReplyDeleteThe owner probably laughs when he looks at the sign. Or maybe his name is Mac.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the owner must be pretty pleased with himself...whatever his name. Anyway, I wonder if being associated with McDo's (as they call it here) is helpful to business or not.
