McDonald’s Opens restaurant in New Delhi

NEW DELHI, INDIA —McDonald’s is opening its first restaurant in New Delhi, India. It is the only McDonald’s in the world with no beef on the menu. You can’t eat Big Macs here, but there are mutton Maharajah Macs. These hamburgers are made from Indian sheep, and the fries are made from Indian potatoes. The soda comes from an Indian bottler(灌裝公司).

Many old and young people come to the new restaurant. Mr. Sahani , who is 75 years old, says he comes all the way from a town which is 90 miles south of New Delhi. “I like it because McDonald’s has not brought things from overseas. All the food comes from India.”

A 19-year-old boy, Pankresh, says, “If the food is good, I don’t care where it comes from.”

A rich Indian man, Vikram Bakshi, owns half of the restaurant. The McDonald’s company owns the other half. Bakshi says the restaurant serves mutton because 80% of Indians are Hindu. Hindus don’t eat beef. They also believe that it is wrong to kill cows.

The menu at the New Delhi McDonald’s has some other Indian food. For the Indians who don’t eat any meat at all, there are Vegetable McNuggets. They are made with rice, peas, carrots, red pepper and apices.

McDonald’s has 20,000 restaurants in more than 95 countries. It fits its menu to each culture(文化).

In Thailand, people can eat Samurai Pork Burgers with a sweet sauce(醬) on top. In Japan they can try burgers topped with a fried egg.

Do you think that French fries are really French? French fries are called "pommes frites" in France and they are not from France. French fries come from Belgium(比利時(shí)) originally. French fries are made of potatoes, and they are cut and fried. The fried potatoes are called French fries because they were fist seen by Americans in Belgium, but they were fried in the French way. The French way is to fry potatoes twice with a small pause in the middle.
During World War I, there were a lot of hungry American soldiers in Northern France and Belgium. They ate French fries in Belgium. After the war was over, the soldiers went back home to America. However, they missed French fries so much that they made French fries at home. That's how French fries were fist introduced to America.
French fries were called Belgian fries once, but the name was finally changed to French fries. Sometimes French fries are just called fries.
French fries are one of the most popular potato foods in America. American fast food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King have French fries on their menus. French fries are freshly fried, and usually served with hamburgers.
If you visit any fast food restaurant in America and order a hamburger, you will probably hear "You want fries with that?"Why don't you think about the history of French fries a little while, and say "Yes, please. Thank you."

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “I’m afraid it’ll have to be someplace cheap, as I have little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.”

This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no, I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s,” or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They are great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”

American custom(風(fēng)俗) about who pays for dates(約會(huì)) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the date. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest(客人).” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.
