American speak
There’s Bagels & Brownies in the 6eme, and Twinkie right around the corner from me. But nothing speaks to the Frenchies' weird and un-ironic obsession with American food culture like the name of this cafe:
I have a french friend who loves M&M's. I was disgusted. He lives close to Paris. I could not believe it. Here he can eat some of the best chocolate in the world, and he chooses our American WAX!:)
Love! Reminds me of the shoe store I once saw in Les Halles named Oprah.

ReplyDeleteI think we all love what another culture offers....difference is the spice of life...xv
ReplyDeleteA shoe store named Oprah!? Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd, even though I bought chocolate-covered almonds at Jean-Paul Hevin today, I also love M&Ms.
You're right, Vicki: it's the unknown and exotic that make things so tempting and delicious. Even when we know these things are heinous!
