Uhh, because of the metric system? Check out the big brain on Brad! Done What do the French call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese? : The Good Life France Written by janine on February 22, 2012 in My French Life McDonalds St Omer, Pas-de-Calais It never ceases to amaze me that the country that has given us foie gras, coq au vin, profiteroles and champagne has taken to McDonalds or McDo (pronounced MacDough) as the french call it. Everywhere you go now in France you seem to come across the green M and they are almost always full at lunch times and in the evening. We expats just don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong, I like McDonalds and worked in several branches in London as a teenager to earn some money while I was at school and college. In those days I truly believed that a Vanilla Milkshake was a valid hangover cure.

I still occasionally indulge in a burger and chips though not so much these days being older and wiser (and fatter). Whenever we have visitors they seem to be astonished that there would even be one branch in the land that is so famed for its gourmet gastronomy let alone almost 900 branches. Only the US has more McDonalds outlets than France – a fact that I find incredible and quite bizarre. McDonalds opened its first French restaurant in 1979 in Strasbourg– home of the European parliament and a shrewd move, probably designed to appeal to the Eurocrats who inhabit the centre. Taking on the French was a bit of a rocky ride for McDonalds though and in 1999 Jose Bove, an agricultural unionist, became a hero to anti-globalization supporters worldwide when he and his gang, Confederation Paysanne, bulldozed a McDonalds in Milau, France, to protest against U.S. trade restrictions on French dairy products.

With bullhorn in hand, he declared gravely to the television news cameras: “We attacked this McDonalds because it is a symbol of multinationals that want to stuff us with junk food and ruin our farmers.” There are some major differences between McDonalds in France from those in other countries. On the negative side in France every burger comes with cheese, there is a notice on the wall that customer requests to remove cheese or anything else for that matter will not be agreed to – their attitude is “eat it as it comes or bugger off”. On the plus side they serve beer with your meal and have a much wider range of food which is clearly designed to appeal to the epicurean French palate – including the recently introduced McBaguette with its terroir cheeses. I suppose another reason for its popularity could be that at least McDonalds’ doors are reliably open. Even after several years in France I’m still surprised that restaurants and bars seem to close whenever they feel like it – so if you’re in France and looking for something to eat and the only thing open is McDonalds, you might overlook the lack of fine dining and classic French cuisine and be glad Monsieur Bove didn’t get his way.

JULES Well, hash is legal there, right? VINCENT Yeah, it's legal, but is ain't a hundred percent legal. I mean you can't walk into a restaurant, roll a joint, and start puffin' away. You're only supposed to smoke in your home or certain designated places. JULES Those are hash bars?

VINCENT Yeah, it breaks down like this: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it and, if you're the proprietor of a hash bar, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry it, which doesn't really matter 'cause -- get a load of this -- if the cops stop you, it's illegal for this to search you. Searching you is a right that the cops in Amsterdam don't have. JULES That did it, man -- I'm fuckin' goin', that's all there is to it. VINCENT You'll dig it the most. But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is? JULES What? VINCENT It's the little differences. A lotta the same shit we got here, they got there, but there they're a little different. JULES Examples? VINCENT Well, in Amsterdam, you can buy beer in a movie theatre. And I don't mean in a paper cup either. They give you a glass of beer, like in a bar. In Paris, you can buy beer at MacDonald's. Also, you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

JULES They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese? VINCENT No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is. JULES What'd they call it? VINCENT Royale with Cheese. JULES (repeating) Royale with Cheese. What'd they call a Big Mac? VINCENT Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac. JULES Le Big Mac. What do they call a Whopper? VINCENT I dunno, I didn't go into a Burger King. But you know what they put on french fries in Holland instead of ketchup? JULES What? VINCENT Mayonnaise. JULES Goddamn! VINCENT I seen 'em do it. And I don't mean a little bit on the side of the plate, they fuckin' drown 'em in it. JULES Uuccch! Category Do they really have a Royale with cheese on the McDonald's menu in France? - Quora Quora Written Jun 14, 2012 Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) is right about the metrication bit.

Since France was one of the earliest countries to use the metric system officially (since the late 18th century), a 'Quarter Pounder' is hardly a good name for a food product (or anything for that matter) in France. A quarter-pounder, in France is known as a Royal Cheese - slightly off from Pulp Fiction's 'Royale with Cheese' It's interesting to note that since the words for both 'burger' ('burger') and 'cheese' ('fromage') in French are masculine nouns, the adjective corresponding to either of them (depending on which interpretation you choose) would also be the same gender - i.e. 'royal', and not 'royale'. Here's a menu from a French McDonalds, showing an entire range of Royals, including 'Royal Cheese' and you can even order online. and have it with a beer (aparently they don't do that in the US) but the movie was badly translated.... 5.2k Views · View Upvotes · Answer requested by Written Mar 14, 2016 Yes, France does have a Royale with Cheese (Royal Cheese on the actual menu) in their own McDonald’s France branches.

This menu is not that unique at all except for the fancy name, but due to its popularity, for sure you will be dining like a king once you eat this big-sized burger of theirs. However, you need to take note that the Big Mac is still the biggest among all of the burgers that they have on the if you want to know more about Royal Cheese, then just take note that this is simply the Quarter Pounder – the second largest burger in the menu. There is a huge reason why French people named their Quarter Pounder like that, and it’s a decent one as well. The metric system for measurements actually came from the French people – wherein they sparked the idea of using this system in order to define measurements in a more detailed way. This made them decide that naming a food with ‘Quarter’ seems to be a bad idea on their end; thus, resulting in Royal Cheese. Take note that this is not just the Royal that’s on the menu because there are a lot of them as well. there’s Royal Bacon, Royal-o-Fish (a bigger variation of the Fillet-o-Fish), and even the Royal Deluxe.

These menus are almost the same as what other countries offer; it’s just that the French people have a better way to make things fancier on their end – something that they really specialize and are great at. Cultural differences affect a lot of stuff, right?

The scene is a beautiful portal into the way Americans look east and see themselves. The Simpsons parodied the scene beautifully, using the show’s infamous Springfield (Krusty Burger)/Shelbyville (McDonald’s) divide. But given that McDonald’s is a quintessential American food, how does the rest of the world see America through the glimmering embassies of its most benevolent ambassador Ray Kroc? The perception is muddled. Earlier this year, McDonald’s franchises in Israel released the Big America Burger, a line of delectable burgers that included the Big Texas and Big New York. Each of the beauties were made with over one half-pound of kosher beef! To mark the launch, Israeli television spots for McDonald’s capitalized on the “special relationship” between Israel and the United States by having Secret Service agents seize some Israeli McDonald’s employees from a nightclub/movie theater to make Big America Burgers for a President Obama look-a-like. The ad, which is almost entirely in English, ends with a burger-rich President Obama at the drive-thru uttering “God Bless Israel and the Big America.” It’s very poignant; you may want to have Kleenex at the ready. Then…there is France.

This week, there is some discontent on this side of the Atlantic over three new French McDonald’s burgers called the Grand Bagel Cheese, the Double Shiny Bacon, and the Double Cornbread Barbecue, all of which are served on bagels. (Though it pains me, I must first tip my hat in admiration for the naming of that second burger. C’est le pied!) And how does McDonald’s in France choose to market these burgers? Surely, the estate of Edith Piaf was consulted, non? Nope. Turns out an expired, uncorrected proof of the American stereotypes handbook was used instead and it is to the detriment of centuries of Franco-American relations. All three commercials feature pushy, swaggeringly dumb Americans invading (yes, invading) French lunchspace to requisition the new burgers. In all three commercials, each French citizen says no as if to suggest that the only remaining American virility lives in le boeuf. Most dismaying is the commercial for the Grand Bagel Cheese, which features an American hockey player(!) skating over a guy in a library to demand his Grand Bagel Cheese. In English no less! Over at Slate, L.V.

Anderson ponders : The first question that comes to mind is: Why is the floor of this library made of ice? That doesn’t seem like a very conducive environment for preserving books. My second question: Where are McDonald’s French copywriters getting their images of American pop culture? The commercial for the Double Shiny Bacon (B”H, what a name!) and the Double Cornbread Barbecue aren’t much better. They feature a Baywatch Pamela Anderson-type in a swimsuit and a cadre of American police officers, respectively, appearing from the ether to declare their burgerly rights. It’s a reverse Freedom Fries moment. But most unfathomable of all, WHY ARE THESE BURGERS ON BAGELS? The short answer is (probably) anti-Semitism. The long answer is anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism. Don’t be fooled by the hockey player, friends, these are not Montreal bagels . And while we may all have been desperate or injudicious or perhaps tipsy enough to make burgers on bagels at one point or another in our lives,* they are NOT the default setting.

That’s not even considering the religious slight of having a traditionally Jewish food supporting the supernal weight of either double cheeseburgers or double bacon cheeseburgers. What’s next? The Dreyfus Dégueulasse? On all counts, this is a failure of messaging, a failure of imagination, and a betrayal of a crucial alliance.

Pumpkin : Not regularly. Jules : There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you." Now... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You'd be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here...

he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd. Jules : Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals. Vincent : Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood. Jules : Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces. Vincent : How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces. Jules : I don't eat dog either. Vincent : Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? Jules : I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty.

But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way. Vincent : Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?

The Wolf : Jimmie, lead the way. Boys, get to work. Vincent : A please would be nice. The Wolf : Come again? Vincent : I said a please would be nice. The Wolf : Get it straight buster - I'm not here to say please, I'm here to tell you what to do and if self-preservation is an instinct you possess you'd better fucking do it and do it quick. I'm here to help - if my help's not appreciated then lotsa luck, gentlemen. Jules : No, Mr. Wolf, it ain't like that, your help is definitely appreciated. Vincent : I don't mean any disrespect, I just don't like people barking orders at me. The Wolf : If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Clean the fucking car. Jules : [pause] What? Jimmie : I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is.

When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage. Jules : Oh, Jimmie, don't even worry about that... Jimmie : [interupting] No, No, No, No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"? Jules : Jimmie, you know I ain't seen no... Jimmie : [cutting him off again; getting angry] Did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"? Jules : [pause] No. I didn't. Jimmie : You know WHY you didn't see that sign? Jules : What the fuck's happening, man? Ah, shit man! Vincent : Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face. Jules : Why the fuck did you do that! Vincent : Well, I didn't mean to do it, it was an accident!

Jules : Oh man I've seen some crazy ass shit in my time... Vincent : Chill out, man. I told you it was an accident. You probably went over a bump or something. Jules : Hey, the car didn't hit no motherfucking bump! Vincent : Hey, look man, I didn't mean to shoot the son of a bitch. The gun went off. I don't know why. Jules : Well look at this fucking mess, man. We're on a city street in broad daylight here! Vincent : I don't believe it. Jules : Well believe it now, motherfucker! We gotta get this car off the road! You know cops tend to notice shit like you're driving a car drenched in fucking blood. Vincent : Just take it to a friendly place, that's all. Jules : This is the Valley, Vincent. Marsellus ain't got no friendly places in the Valley. Vincent : Well Jules, this ain't my fucking town, man! Fabienne : I wish I had a pot. Butch : You were lookin' in the mirror and you wish you had some pot? Fabienne : A pot. A pot belly.

Pot bellies are sexy. Butch : Well you should be happy, 'cause you do. Fabienne : Shut up, Fatso! I don't have a pot! I have a bit of a tummy, like Madonna when she did "Lucky Star," it's not the same thing. Butch : I didn't realize there was a difference between a tummy and a pot belly. Fabienne : The difference is huge. Butch : You want me to have a pot? Fabienne : No. Pot bellies make a man look either oafish, or like a gorilla. But on a woman, a pot belly is very sexy. The rest of you is normal. Normal face, normal legs, normal hips, normal ass, but with a big, perfectly round pot belly. If I had one, I'd wear a tee-shirt two sizes too small to accentuate it. Butch : You think guys would find that attractive? Fabienne : I don't give a damn what men find attractive. It's unfortunate what we find pleasing to the touch and pleasing to the eye is seldom the same.

Jules : [talking about Mia, Marsellus Wallace's wife] I think her biggest deal was she starred in a pilot. Vincent : Pilot? What's a pilot? Jules : Well, you know the shows on TV? Vincent : I don't watch TV. Jules : Yeah, but, you are aware that there's an invention called television, and on this invention they show shows, right? Vincent : Yeah. Jules : Well, the way they pick TV shows is, they make one show. That show's called a pilot. Then they show that one show to the people who pick shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they want to make more shows. Some get chosen and become television programs. Some don't, become nothing. She starred in one of the ones that became nothing. Jules : This was Divine Intervention! You know what "divine intervention" is? Vincent : Yeah, I think so. That means God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets. Jules : Yeah, man, that's what it means. That's exactly what it means! God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets. Vincent : I think we should be going now.

Jules : Don't do that! Don't you fucking do that! Don't blow this shit off! What just happened was a fucking miracle! Vincent : Chill the fuck out, Jules, this shit happens. Jules : Wrong! Wrong, this shit doesn't just happen. Vincent : Do you wanna continue this theological discussion in the car, or at the jailhouse with the cops? Jules : We should be fuckin' dead now, my friend! We just witnessed a miracle, and I want you to fucking acknowledge it! Vincent : Okay man, it was a miracle, can we leave now? Lance : [answering the phone] Hello. Vincent : Lance! It's Vincent. I'm in big fuckin' trouble, man. I'm coming to your house. Lance : Whoa. Whoa. Hold your horses, man. What's the problem? Vincent : I've got this chick, she fuckin' O.D.in' on me! Lance : Well, don't bring her here! I'm not even fuckin' joking with you, man! Do not be bringing some fucked-up pooh-bah to my house! Lance : She's O.D.in'?

Vincent : She's fuckin' dyin' on me, man! Lance : Okay, then you bite the fuckin' bullet, take her to a hospital and call a lawyer. Vincent : Negative. Lance : This is not my fuckin' problem, man! You fucked her up, you fuckin' deal with this! Lance : Still got your Malibu? Vincent : Aw, man. You know what some fucker did the other day? Vincent : Fucking keyed it. Lance : Oh, man, that's fucked up. Vincent : Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of shit fucked with it. Lance : They should be fucking killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution. Vincent : Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it. Lance : What a fucker! Vincent : What's more chickenshit than fucking with a man's automobile? I mean, don't fuck with another man's vehicle.

Lance : You don't do it. Vincent : It's just against the rules. Vincent : [Lance is looking for a medical book] Hurry up, Lance! We're losing her! Lance : I'm lookin' as fast as I can! Jody : [to Vincent] What's he looking for? Vincent : I dunno. Some book. Jody : [to Lance] What're you looking for? Lance : A little black medical book! Jody : What're you looking for? Lance : A little black fuckin' medical book! It's like a textbook they give to nurses. Jody : I never saw no medical book. Lance : Trust me, I have one. Jody : Well, if it's so important, why don't you keep it with the shot? Lance : I DON'T KNOW! STOP BOTHERING ME! Jody : Listen, while you're looking for it, that girl's gonna die on our carpet! You're never gonna find anything in this mess! Lance : I'm gonna fuckin' kill you IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP! Vincent : [from the other room] STOP ARGUING AND GET IN HERE!

Maynard : [Butch runs into Maynard's pawn shop being chased by Marsellus] Can I help you with somethin'? Butch : Shut the fuck up! Maynard : Hey you just wait a god damn minute now! What the fuck you up to? Butch : [Marsellus enters, Butch wrestle him to the floor then starts to punch him] Come here motherfucker! Feel that sting, big boy? That's pride fucking with you! Gotta fight through that shit! Marsellus : You better kill me! Butch : [Brings up a gun] Yeah, somebody gonna get killed. SOMEBODY GONNA GET THEIR FUCKING HEAD BLOWN OFF! Maynard : [Points a shotgun at them] Hold it right there, goddammit! Butch : It's none of your business, mister! Maynard : I'm making it my business. Toss the weapon. Butch : You don't understand, man! Maynard : Toss the weapon. Maynard : [Butch throws the gun away] Get yer foot of the nigger, put yer hands behind yer head and spproach the counter right now.

Maynard : [Hits Butch with the shotgun then makes a call] Zed? It's Maynard. Yeah, spider just caught a couple of flies. Jules : So, tell me again about the hashbars? Vincent : Okay, what you wanna know? Jules : Hash is legal there in Amsterdam, right? Vincent : Yeah, it's legal, but it ain't a hundred percent legal. I mean, you can't just walk into a restaurant, roll a joint and start puffing away. You're only supposed to smoke in your home or certain designated places. Jules : And those are hashbars? Vincent : Yeah. It breaks down like this: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it, and, if you're the proprietor of a hash bar, it's legal to sell it. It's still illegal to carry it around, but that doesn't really matter 'cause... get a load of this: if you get stopped by the cops in Amsterdam, it's illegal for them to search you. I mean, that's a right the cops in Amsterdam don't have.

Jules : [laughing] I'm going, that's all there is to it, I'm fuckin' going. Vincent : Yeah baby, you'd dig it the most. The Wolf : You must be Jules, which would make you Vincent. Let's get down to brass tacks, gentlemen. If I was informed correctly, the clock is ticking, is that right, Jimmie? Jimmie : Uh, one hundred percent. The Wolf : Your wife... Bonnie comes home at 9:30 in the AM, is that right? Jimmie : Uh-huh. The Wolf : I was led to believe that if she comes home and finds us here, she'd wouldn't appreciate it none too much? Jimmie : [laughing] She wouldn't at that. The Wolf : That gives us exactly... forty minutes to get the fuck out of Dodge. Which, if you do what I say when I say it, should be plenty. Now, you've got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Take me to it.
