Chirac says english food is crap
 

this is coming from a guy whos country sees snails , frogs and horses as menue items



he also says the only thing we ever gave europe was madcows disease

pity it wasnt anthrax i say ;)

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

our diet helped liberate the frogs,end of story.

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

The French have been sore loosers since Nelson put the boot in. To partly quote one of his fellow country men, Mr Chirac, Watch out for the seagulls at Gleneagles, they may well demonstrate what comes out of your mouth!

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

i wonder how much he would like our food if the germans said the were invading lol

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

thats why the germans lost-had the runs with crap french food lol

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

well it certainly wasnt due to any resistance from the french was it lol

although to be fair some french people did have a bit of backbone and helped out british soldiers

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

thats true i watched allo allo.lol

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

listen carefully i shall say this only once

tiz i eclair i am in disguise


yeah i know it wasnt eclair but it sure sounded like he was saying eclair to me lol

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Frogs legs and snails are quite tasty and I haven't yet tried horse but I'd be more than happy to. Whats the difference between cow and horse? Only because we don't raise them as food we see it as 'not right'.

In reality what is 'French food'? They eat the same as us only its described in their own language. I like the Philly ad thats on at the moment where the two girls are eating sausage, mash and peas.

As for stupid polititians we have more than our fair share of those!!!

Why not Willow, I am sure it has garlic in it!!!!

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

I never am very interested in anything the French have to say.

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

french food. ha, crap food,, here in england at lest we have " sit " on loo`s and NOT a hole in the floor (as on french motorways) there more like skid-pans ...that all them snails for you

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

He needs to taste one of my home-made curries before he makes comments like that ;)

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

wee wee petite pois. ( yes yes small pea) Thats the only bit of french i know and the only bit i want to know!!!

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

if i say frogs and not snails is it still " curries"

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Whats the difference between cow and horse? 0ne you eat and 1 you ride......
thats all

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

I love snails - with lots of garlic butter. I love roast rib of beef as well. Every country has some crap food (there is a Macdonalds in Paris) just as they have good food. Hotel food in this country was muck at one time, no two ways about it, Brown Windsor soup (dishwater with an Oxo cube per gallon), grey "roast beef" that tasted of cardboard, and 'orrible cabbage. Hotel/restaurant food now is generally very good, but you do pay for it. The same food in France is, sad to say, just as good and a lot cheaper.

Anyway, we ate snails and larks and such in this country for hundreds of years, and swan was a delicacy at one time.

I wonder who has been feeding Jacques Chirac over here? When I last heard, the food at Gleneagles was superb. Perhaps he brought sandwiches ....

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

That is a very impolite way of referring to your partner ;)



I prefer the way their vegetables are cooked - they remain nice and crisp (ie not soggy) and have more flavour as they aren't cooked to death.

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

thank you so you know my X do you :p lol.lol. lol.lol

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Vorlon, the term is 'a la dente' or firm to the tooth.

I used to hate Sunday roasts untill I found out that we were cremating everything. Give me a nice rare roast of beef with gently steamed veg and a crisp yorkshire pud. Lovely!

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Chirac also said Finnish food is worse. Anyone ever had that? Anyone ever been to a Finnish restaurant? As far as I'm aware, the staple dish is smoked reindeer and a variation on smorganboard.

French wine is p*ss now, for the price. I see they can't even give it away and are having to turn it into industrial alcohol.

Anyway, who cares about the Frogs? The place reminds me of Africa - peasants surviving on hand-outs while their political leaders do nowt but whinge. Sod 'em.

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Ever noticed how the French are always there when they need us... and of course the great Marge Simpson quote "We can stand here like the French or we can do something about it".

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Hands up, sorry.

As well as my own country l love France!

I love grub full stop. We have some good staple foods in this country, from Lancashire Hotpots to roast joints. On the whole though French food is to me is much more palatable than English. Eating in Lyon or it's equivlent of Birmingham for me is an easy choice. One has the most restaurants with Michellin stars anywhere in the world the other has none.

All the top British chefs have trained in France, a fact which has vastly improved this countries gastonomic image.

Off to prepare my dinner, a stew of snakes and snails and puppy dogs tails.

Ooops, sorry double clicked:(

Blaming Parkinson's and not giddiness. ;)

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Personally, I believe in Nelson's dictum:

"......you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil...."

and that goes for their country to. And their neighbours (apart from Italy)

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Don't get me wrong, l too hate the French [except for Bretons.]


It's just France and French food l like.


Sadly it's hard to seperate the two.

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

I just like food....... I don't particularly care where it comes from. I do agree that French Wine is miserable and I never buy the stuff. I'll stick with my Antipodean wines, even Eastern European wine is nicer than French these days.:)

Whats wrong with that? there all meat :)
Must say that I dont agree with most of the c**p he comes out with

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

There must be SOME good in the gallic race..........you just have to look harder to find it.

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

chirac obviously has not tasted my cooking then;) :p

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

I think food can be crap anywhere it depends whose cooked it and whether you've chosen the correct dish off the menu, I would agree about the French wine but I had a great bottle of French Rose the other night 'Chateau de Sours', I know that doesn't sound great but it was lovely!

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Chateau Neuf du Pape, St Emillion,

Sorry, those two alone will have a continued presence in my wine rack. As for a nice dry Muscadet, ice cold.

There are some cracking XO brandies as well.......

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

are slugs the no frills version of snails in france...?

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

no chav slugs are the french lol

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

I have to say, I don't agree with the negative comments about French wine. If there is a couple of things they produce well it is their wines and brandies. That's about it though, oh well, some of their cheeses are pretty good also. What a shame such a crap load of people have such a lovely looking country.

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

I thought this thread was about Chirac and the French. There's no reason to involve the Welsh, John.:D

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

No slugs are what they serve at Cap d'Agde in the south of France.


The worlds bigest naturist resort, summer population, 32,000.

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

I was in a French restaurant once (in France) and someone on the next table ordered Steak Tartar. The look on the waiters face was quite amusing when the guy sent it back because it wasn't cooked!

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

Chirac obviously knows exactly what crap is, cos that is what their Olympic bid obviously was. Aren't they poor loosers!

Re: Chirac says english food is crap
 

thought chirac WAS french for CRAP lol
