Good to see that France is willing to lead the way on the all-important condiment issue in these troubled times.

Lunacy.
Haven’t the French figured out they’ve got more pressing domestic problems than whether or not Petit Jean-Claude likes to his burger with Heinz?

Just relabel it “Tomato Vinaigrette” and we’re set to go.

When I was in Holland many years ago, the McD’s there had mayo with a touch of garlic and I liked it very much. I am not a big ketchup user but like some from time to time.

You have to love the French - last time I was there I had a Duck, pork and sausage cassoulet that had enough fat per portion to knock a hippo unconscious and they ban tomato ketchup on health grounds! :D
Mind you, I half blame my American friends who continue to patronise gallic sorts by continuing to call them ‘french fries’. Do as we Brits do - stick two fingers up Churchill style to le grenouilles and call them ‘CHIPS’!

The French ban on ketchup will quickly change once Heinz sends three night security guards around the Maginot line.

Missleading headline. It should read France bans ketchup in SCHOOL cafeterias
The difference is enormous. It also makes this pretty much a non-story, which is why they left the word out of the headline.
It should actually read:
“French School Cafeterias no longer to provide free ketchup for kids.”
I highly doubt that are prohibiting kids from bringing their own.

Poor leadership.
Poor strategy.
They fought to the end.

So on one hand, France takes draconian measures to protect its language and cuisine from English-speaking countries
On the other hand, they allow anyone from Algeria to move to France, so now France is 10% Muslim.
Frogs: enjoy your Halal ratatouille while French “youts” burn tires in front of your maison.

I’ll hand over my bottle of ketchup when they pry it from my cold dead hands. Say, can I have some of your frenchfries?

While some French food is better than others and I imagine school cafeteria food in France to be little better than its counterparts in the US, in my trips to France I have never had any desire or saw the need to use ketchup. However, when I visited the UK ketchup and Worcestershire sauce were welcome additions to the food I found to be bland to the extreme. The Australian version of ketchup, referred to by the locals as tomato sauce, just didn't cut it for me and I spent considerable time in Woolworth's looking for good old Heinz ketchup for my burgers on the “barbe”.

Do as we Brits do - stick two fingers up Churchill style to le grenouilles and call them CHIPS! That could be misinterpreted. The "V" for victory two-fingered signal to the bartender has long been recognized as the Roman way of ordering five beers.
