It may be so common for you. American people probably don't really pay attention to hamburgers as much as I don't pay attention to croissant for my breakfast.

But believe me for me hamburger is just a myth. In France you will hardly find one in the menu (I don't talk about McDonald's and KFC... this is all we have). Some hamburgers in (real) restaurants are delightful (yes it is an experience to me) but it is the kind of food I will eat once a year (so I'm done for 2009). Simply because it is too much for me. Apparently it is for my mother too, who ate a hamburger in a restaurant in Ashland "since she was in America..." I took pity on her since she didn't digest her menu until late at night...

I chose the smallest picture because it represents the connection between French food and American food (it illustrates the culinary experiences of a French family...) I miss croissant, but it's only when you try other kind of food that you start caring about your traditional food.

The second picture is jus hilarious to me... Two symbols of the American culture. It was actually a real Nike ad.
