During a photo session after meeting with Bush, Chirac did not mention the dispute over Iraq or NATO, but spoke instead of how much he had enjoyed the G-8 summit, particularly the food.

``I can tell you that over the last few days, this cuisine here in America was certainly on a par with French cuisine,'' Chirac said.

``He particularly liked the cheeseburger he had yesterday,'' Bush said.

``It was excellent,'' Chirac said.
