McRoyale with Cheese

At McDonald's in Qatar (http://www.mcdonaldsarabia.com/english/qatar/index.asp), they offer a McRoyale (with cheese) at McDonald's. They also have something called a "McArabia", which is "McArabia CHICKEN": Two grilled chicken patties (de-boned breast meat), Arabic bread, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, garlic sauce, but I got the McRoyale WITH CHEESE. The McRoyale with cheese is the same beef and cheese quantity as the Quarter Pounder with Cheese, but has more fixins' like lettuce, tomato and special sauce...they also have a Big Mac. Also, because cetrain coutries in the Middle East, including Qatar don't allow ham to be sold or imported, the HAMburger is called a BEEFburger even though there is no HAM in the HAMburger. If you go into a McDonald's and by Western instinct say "HAMBURGER", the person behind the counter will look at you funny and SOMETIMES go "BEEFBURGER???" McDonalds needs to have a cross-cultural communications course for all new new employees to combat Western instict in ordering. (To prove that McDonald's is imprinted in the Western mind and especially hardwired into my head, I will demonstrate...."Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun"...I know that jingle by heart...I didn't even have to look it up, but if you didn't recognize that as the 1975 slogan for the MacDonald's Big Mac go here.

Also, the bigger sandwiches come in sytrofoam containers. Yeah! Back to the 70's and 80's again. So much for not using styrofoam to protect the environment. Best part about the styrofoam containers is that you can make McDonald's container hand puppets with them again!

To understand the "Royale with cheese" reference, see the quote below from the movie "Pulp Fiction" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110912/):

Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac.
Jules: Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.
