(CBS News) In France, where food is a passion, some people believe fast food is an assault from America.
The French managers of McDonald's have determined the good old American hamburger isn't good enough. They've launched the McBaguette - McDonald's take on one of the basic French food groups: the baguette sandwich, two hamburger patties, some lettuce and some grainy French mustard in a roll that looks a little like classic French bread. It may not be the beheading of Louis XVI, but it's positively revolutionary.
And the French have lined up in their ones and twos to try it.
