I must be the exception then. My 20 year old French stepson knows more words to American songs than I do – by far! That was a great video, very professionally done. Good for them. Cynthia in the French Alps

Comment on They Got the Metric System Over There… by Sarah

“…and I don’t know why, but every time the NY Times does a piece about France, it’s just clichés and idiocies beneath the quality of that paper,” David, I comply ! I actually wrote to them about this while they were “following” the French presidential elections and all it appeared they were doing were perpetuating the French myths and stereotypes that Americans love. (Sarkozy, what a disaster)

Regardless, I have been here for 4 years now and by God do I love to stumble upon a good hamburger (which is not always an easy find). And I admit, I have started to eat steak tatare “aller retour,” which has influenced my taste in hamburgers: the bloodier the better. Bistro hamburgers are often very rare and they fall apart in the bun, hence the knife in fork (but I’ve always done that…even in the States as a measure of hygiene). I’m not a fan of American globalization by any means, but would it be legitimate to propose that the French knack for steak haché and tatare was a “segway” to the hamburger?

Maybe you’re right, Sarah — all I know is I’ve seen some bad mutilations of Beatles songs. Oh, and a guy in the metro singing Simon and Garfunkel… ouch.

That’s a great video! For some reason, Michael Jackson is always an exception when it comes to French kids knowing the lyrics. I guess his songs transcend any language barriers.

Burger it might be, but what a race of burger. Don’t you love the French for specifying exactly what race the beef hails from (Charal). That’s what I love about France – the details!
