Where's the Beef Might Be A Chicken Salad.

You know how I have a book coming out in Oct?

And

You know how it's called "I Wanted Fries With That: How to Ask for What You Want and Get What You Need"?

And

You know how the title is loosely based on the McDonald's slogan "Do You Want Fries With That?"

And

You know that I live in Montreal which is in Quebec which is mainly French?

Well, Listen To This.

Guess what they were saying in Quebec while the rest of us were saying "Do You Want Fries With That?"

They were saying:

"Un chausson avec ça?" which loosely translates to "Would you like a hand held apple pie with that?"

Observations
1. Luckily poutine was not invented at McDonald's. We would be stuck with apple pie smothered in gravy and cheese.

2. You would think that French fries would be all the rage in a province where almost every one speaks French but instead Quebec was into Apple Pie bringing into question the expression "As American as  --"

3. Hang on, Quebec has one word which means hand-held-apple-pie?

4. You can translate something literally but the principle can still be lost.

5. If my book ends up getting translated I'm going to need some new emojis.
