Hey, if you want to hear people bitch about dinner go with a couple of
Brits to France and get one of them 'fancy' dinners with raw pork
chops and the vegetables all turned into baby food. As the pair I was
with put it "the French don't cook, they make sauces and puree."


'Raw meat' can be very tasty indeed. Nought wrong with purees either. It's a
shame IMHO that we don't see more French style cooking in the UK these days. It
was more in vogue back in the 70s when many towns offered an inexpensive
'bistro'. That's given me a hunger for a good old-fashioned coq-au-vin actually.


A friend (Wales) used to say that the national dish in the UK is now
"Chicken Tikamasala". Her mom almost blew a gasket whenever she said that.


Well, it's a change from fish+chips, or boiled mutton.
