“French President Jacques Chirac is reported to have cracked jokes about British food at a meeting with the German and Russian leaders.
French newspaper Liberation says Gerhard Schroeder and Vladimir Putin laughed and joined in the banter.
“One cannot trust people whose cuisine is so bad,” it quotes Mr Chirac saying.
…
“The only thing they have ever done for European agriculture is mad cow disease,” Mr Chirac said” (BBC)
> Vladimir Putin laughed and joined in the banter
Actually, the French administration has denied those talks.
But to be honest, I find this remarks quite funny actually!
Funny….if it was all true at least he has a sense of humour.
Either all the world is a food snob or English food is an aquired taste 😛
Lol or could that be the fact that English food being pretty inexistent, the access in the UK to such an international food portfolio makes it enjoyable ??
