WE seem to be suffering from a surfit of French peeps,,,,,,,,

The French played a blinder and the All Blacks looked tired and out of sorts in the first half. They appeared to be missing some key players, not sure whether injury related or not.

Good. Let them remind their neighbours how to cook!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

You mean very small over garliced portions massivly ovewrpriced !!

[Heedless Horseman]

That is Cuisine... not Cooking. Foreign Johnnies can Cook quite well, really... just tend to exuberance with the 'panache'...  

[FierceKitty]

I must find out how to garlice something. Sounds appetising.

But remember Chef Gusteau's manta "Anyone can cook"

Ah, yes! Who could forget Jacques Cousteau's retort,"Sacre Blue! Un stingray zat can talk!!" 

Nice typo, Peter, nice typo!

To quote that nice Mr Andy Hamilton, in Old Harry's Game.

"The French.....Can cook...but can't sing (Pause).....A sort of mirror image of the Welsh."
PAH !...the chippy in the village does damn good nosh....So does the kebab shop.....Ah ! Perhaps that's not a good example.

Cheers - Phil

The Welsh can only cook leeks and sheep      (and may be daffodills)

[Techno II]

We are NOT daffodils.

(And...children...you should NEVER EVER eat daffodils..unless you have a death wish...Every so often you hear of some complete twerp who's tried to fry, then eat, daffodil bulbs..."Cos they look like small onions". )

Talking of sheep.....there must be a dead one in one of the fields about half a mile from us.
It was like a scene from 'The Birds' when I was driving on the way into Cardigan, this morning.....

50-100 rooks or jackdaws bimbling/flapping around and having a fine old time, as I tried to drive through them.

Cheers - Phil.

To misquote James Davis Nicoll

The problem with defending the purity of the English cookery is that English cookery is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow recipes; on many occasions, English cookery has pursued other cuisines down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new ingredients.

We are NOT daffodils. .....

Nice one.
