romanticist I believe that in France, it's a no-no to bring a doggy bag because it is deemed offensive because it will indicate that their culinary effort is worthy only as pet food. You know, the French held their cuisine in high esteem. I hope this helps.

Dokken, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, Poison... those were the days when metal was cool. I'm wondering if there's anybody here who share the same passion as I am about this kind of music.
