You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in France?
How do you like your burger?

It is actually just Royal in France.
In most markets unfamiliar with imperial measurements, the Quarter Pounder is known as the Hamburger Royale or McRoyal, or variants thereof. The "Royale with Cheese," as famously explained in the film Pulp Fiction, is not actually a name for the Quarter Pounder with Cheese. In France the official name of the Quarter Pounder with Cheese is Royal Cheese. In English-speaking countries that have adopted metrication, the burger retains the Quarter Pounder name, although it is named "Quart de Livre" and "Quart de Livre avec fromage" in French. Quarterão com Queijo is used in metric Brazil, "Royal Cheese" in Portugal, Cuarto de Libra con Queso in Spain and in Latin America, Quarter Pounder is used in Finland, and the QP Cheese is found in Sweden. In South Africa there are two variations; the Quarter Pounder with cheese, and the Quarter Pounder Deluxe. In some Middle-Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, McDonald's provides both a Quarter Pounder and a McRoyale burger on its menu, the McRoyale having slightly different ingredients. In Chinese markets, the Quarter Pounder is known as a "full three taels" (Chinese: 足三両because three taels is approximately equal in weight to a quarter pound. In Russia, it is known as Royal Cheeseburger.

Definitely--especially if you can get yourself some pork chorizo sausage to use as a patty instead of traditional hamburger. That is seriously good.
That wasn't what I was commenting on, though--it looks like they have singed the bun a little too much (especially on the bottom) and that might be the saddest bunch of caramelized onions I've ever seen. I'm not sure what that side is, I assume it's a hush puppy or some similar potato-based starchy side. Also, disturbing lack of tomato--I can do without lettuce on a burger, but no tomato either?

Anywhere from medium to well done works for me. Ground beef isn't a meat that I care to go any less than medium, however. Some other types of meat, like salmon, I'm pretty liberal about, but ground meats I'm more conservative.
Toppings: tomatoes and lettuce are the top two, and usually with a nice spicy mustard. Sometimes barbeque sauce or mushrooms. I've also had burgers with bacon or avocado to good effect. But no ketchup or mayonnaise for me.
I almost always have cheese with my burger. There's a lot of varieties that work, but I've never been one for blue cheese. I guess I just don't quite get why it was decided that mold tastes best on cheese.
I've seen it in the Midwest, too. Not really my thing, but it isn't just in Hawaii and France.

I feel I must protest.

Anyway, to go to France and enter a MacDonald's? What kind of madness is this?!

Really though, you could say that for anywhere assuming you're willing to hunt down good local food options. Fact is, when I want a Big Mac I want a Big Mac.
It always makes me laugh in Indonesia on the odd occasion I've been to Maccas and it's filled with locals. Guess what they're going crazy for? The bloody rice dishes they serve there.

Ah yes, I know the feeling when only a certain food product will do.
It is nuts though. Even when I feel it myself. It's exactly the same as any other addiction, imo.
I used to smoke a great deal, and only one particular brand would do the job. Though I would, at a pinch, naturally resort to any other.

With all due respect that's a load of crap. A committed nicotine addict would smoke half a butt they found on the ground if they needed one badly enough.

"Curb-side twist", sir. And yes I have smoked it.
You've not understood my statement, I take it.
I finally gave up smoking about 12 years ago. But I still frequently dream I'm smoking, and feeling disappointed with myself. I usually wake up relieved to discover it was "only a dream".

I meant whacked in the sense of invaded and messed up the place, not necessarily in the strictest terms of victory or defeat.
