Just to clear up a point here, this morning I returned from a short trip
to France, and I can tell you that they have no concept of "fast food"
whatsoever. Sure you can buy a burger or hot-dog. But it won't arrive
fast. It will arrive very slowly indeed. Don't think, however, that
because it's French it will have added taste or flavour - it will taste
like cardboard and sawdust just the same as elsewhere in the world.

A truly remarkab;e performance - fast food that is not fast, and is food
only in the sense that you put it in your gob.
