the tim tam biscuits

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

We are about 10 miles from the coast and then 75 miles from the coast to Cherbourg, about the same distance to London. I happen to be a Francophile and love France and French food and wine. As a Rostbif though by birth I have to say that it is thanks to the Frogs that we have baguettes, filter coffee, snails/escargots, wine in a box, British Camembert and Brie cheeses, and the desire to spend hundreds of Pounds in trips to France to bring in cheap booze and fags. However, loads of so-called French frog's legs are British-sourced and we also export snails as well! If anyone wonders what a snail tastes like, it's rather like a whelk, the marine shellfish, but less tasty!

However I can honestly say that whilst I have eaten a variety of foods in my life, nothing compares with a French delicacy: brains with white sausage in a white wine sauce! Knowing that you are eating calf's brains is enough to make you vomit even before tucking in..
