Once, on a day trip to France, we found a great little restaurant in some back street and had wonderful pizzas – to rival ones I have had here! :-)

Thanks for the good wishes. I have found out from one of my colleagues where to go to get my wine and cheese so I am very happy about that. And as I shall be driving back will be able to buy a few bottles of my favourite French wine. My next dinner party should be great!

That, too, made me laugh. I seem to remember you mentioning about Limoncello once or twice!!

It’s true that it can be tasteless or worse – but, I’m sorry to say, not every meal I’ve had in Italy would be something to be proud of either! :-)

Ah ah, you made me laugh. True, sometimes we think that British food is mostly tasteless or worse. But it is probably untrue. Your sausages for example are not bad, and almost ALL your cakes with all that delicious butter in them, which is though a bit too heavy for our climate. But I’m not an expert of cuisine in general. I’m a sober man.
