French Food

The fellow on the website complaining about the food in France. Did he not try the food before he went there? Oh, and if he really wants to know where to get fantastic food in France, then come to Gers! Cassoulet, Duck Confit, Magret, and as for the Armagnac and Floc, well if you don't like those gastronomic delights, then may I suggest moving back to dear old blighty and resuming the feast of Tesco ready meals, Kentucky Fried Chicken or maybe take a jaunt to one of the new religious temples in Britain, Bluewater was our local one, and join the rest of Britain in its dive into consumerism hell where shopping is 1. a cure for boredom and 2. the new British religion, where you can watch pseudo culture vultures at Starbucks having there pathetically complicated coffees (frapacino,mocha choca blaster with a twist). On a serious note, if you're ever in Condom (unfortunate name I know) then head for a little restaurant called Sports, and have a Condomoise Pizza!!

You'll never go in that great English centre of gastronomy called pizza hut again! It is a pizza with the produce of the area as a topping, foie gras, duck, goose, rabbit, baked before your eyes in a bakers oven. That summed it up for me, these people even take pride in the cooking of one of the most mundane dishes. The trick is, to go where there are predominently French people, not the Dordogne, where the Brits are busy trying to recreate the Costa Del Sol, with outlets doing Egg and chips for breakfast.

Happy Feasting.
