Also, have you ever bought a MacDonald's hamburger in Paris? What they
charge is totally unethical.

John, you were in Paris and bought a burger at MacDonald's??????? Are you
nuts??????
Some of the best small family owned restaurants in the whole world are in
Paris and they are VERY inexpensive. The art of cuisine was invented in
Paris!

My wife's best friend's husband was posted to the Paris Embassy about 23
years ago. The kids got to choose the eatery if they got very good grades.
They chose McD's. The bill for the meal was about $50. This is when you
could probably eat at the top Paris restaurants for not much more.

How many kids under ten were you dragging into the small, family owned
restaurants?

Hi John: Just one! At that time, when I was in Paris, my Granddaughter was
7 years old, and she ate for free at most of the restaurants.
Most of the smaller, family type restaurants in Europe, do not charge for
the kids meals. This is the same at a lot of places here at home.

Perhaps we could have done that. I don't know if they'd feed four kids
for free, when only three adults are paying. These kids were between 7
and 12 (not ten as I said earlier). Plus, as a newbie to Paris I
didn't have your knowledge.

I spent four and a half years in Stuttgart, and I don't recall ever
getting a free meal for my kid. Most of the time, if we ate out, we
ate at the small, family owned places. Never got free meals though.
