    Mount Quarter Pounder? Sounds suspiciously English to me......

    Edit: Also wouldn't Mount Royale with Cheese be Montreal avec fromage?

    Do you mean the original inhabitants of Mont? They're still there and Montreal is still a pale imitation.

    Does real mean real or royal? While French and Spanish are different languages, they are part of the same language family. The real in Real Madrid means royal.
