Dude, it's France. They don't do English breakfasts. Legolas Send a noteboard - 19/02/2010 03:19:48 PM

And is a common item on many samich, over the frustrated moans of depressed cardioligists everywhere I'm sure. Since Quick is a cheap french knock off of the golden arches, they probably have a breakfast menu with sausage too, and while many a sausage is not necessarily pork, featuring turkey, beef, and occassionally rat and human 'additives' I would be rather surprised if Quick didn't serve pork sausage too.


Continental breakfasts are more inclined towards the sweet, pastries and croissants and stuff. Either way, they don't seem to have a breakfast menu, which doesn't surprise me much, the French will take their breakfasts in bistros if they don't do it at home.

As for a "cheap knock off", it's unarguably an imitation, but as a Belgian (i.e. the only country besides France to have the same two-way competition between McD and Quick), I'm not sure which of the two I'd say is best. In any case, McD adapts its menus to local sensibilities and preferences too - I imagine they don't have pork sausage in France either. *looks up* Okay, they do have a breakfast menu, one item on which is a bacon and egg sandwich. No sausages.
