McDonalds, who cares?

I was on a flight from ATL to Argentina on Delta.
My Delta One upgrade did not come through and obviously they did not know who I am.

I knew I would have to suffer the discomfort of Delta Economy Comfort, and the marginal meal service on a twelve hour flight. At Atlanta Hartsfield International Terminal there is a Varsity hamburger stand. I brought two Varsity chili burgers and onion rings as my take-out meal onto the Delta 777. Consumed them in an orderly fashion on board the plane. Only snobbery encountered was from the male Delta FA. Seat belt sign was on and I handed the boxed residue to the gaucho looking dude. His reaction looked like I handed him human waste. Would I have taken my Varsity burgers into Delta One...Probably! Paying a lot of $$$ for the seat and I will eat what I please.

There was a family friend who used to bring a can of caviar onto the plane into first class. He would give the bottle to the stewardess and ask if she could serve it with his dinner.
When he was often asked by jealous seat mates who hadn't witnessed the initial encounter, why he received this and he hadn't and would reply that he was a special level of traveller.

With Gatwick advertising that you can take food on board I can't see that any of us can complain...

I've no idea, but to the extent that Quebecois tend to be very literal, the most logical would be "Mc Pepites de poulet".

Are you telling us that you don't know how to hold a champagne glass? OK, just kidding.

I misunderstood the previous post - I thought the op was asking while indeed he/she was providing the answer! ^ What an ugly translation those Quebecois have provided!! Whether aptly or not, "croquettes" has a bit of a tendency to evoke pet food in French!

So no cheese for the smelly?

You are confusing "chicks" with "chickens"

Quebec is... special. Language police there is out of control. A few years ago they went after an Italian restaurant in Quebec for having the word "pasta" on its menu.

Funny how McDonald's in France calls them "Chicken McNuggets", but not in Quebec. Non!

However, not to be outdone, McDonald's French site will NOT reveal its secret content unless I try to access it within France. I get a white background with their logo only and the message: "Le contenu de cette page n’est pas disponible depuis votre position gographique."
