    I thought last year there was talk of eliminating the chicane on the main straight? Was hoping that would be the case.

    Winkles!!!

    And don’t forget the burger de cheval? Certainly was common in deepest darkest Quebec!

    Anyway never mind the food; you can drown that in wine...hairy armpits... just wrong!

    I was introduced to snails many years ago by my french step-father when my mother remarried (I was 14 then) and we went to leave in France.
    My step-father used to eat a dozain of snails at lunch every Sunday, and I got to quite like them. On Christmas day, we used to eat 3 dozains each !!!
    Then I moved to Belgium and finally came back to England décades later, and never eat snails again.
    But a few years ago, taking some British friends to Paris, I tried to initiate them to snail eating.
    Not too many restaurants had them on the menu, I found. Maybe they are more popular in the South?

    Offals are a delicatessen in many countries.
    Pity they are not appreciated in England.
    BTW, haggis popular in Scotland is made with sheep tripes; I find it delicious..

    In what way? Once they are washed and cooked, tripes are as clean as any other part of the animal.
    It's a matter of culture.
    I learnt to eat rabbit, horsemeat and venaisson, but I draw the line at eating squirrels, guinea pigs and hedgehogs that some people eat in some parts of France.

    The Ferrari Formula 1 and Ducati MotoGP teams could run without Mission Winnow branding for the remainder of the season, Autosport has learned.

    Two wonderful looks at inside French restaurant history and culture are George Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London" and "An Illustrated History of French Cuisine: From Charlemagne to Charles de Gaulle" by Christian Guy (Translated by Elisabeth Abbott). The last may be hard to find, published by Bramhall House, New York...Copyright 1962 by Les Productions de Paris. Both are wonderful reads.

    If anyone can guide me to a real French restaurant in Los Angeles I will be eternally grateful.

    Hairy armpits! When I was 14 and first went to France most European women didn't shave under their arms. They trimmed but the didn't shave. I found it very exotic and erotic...like seeing the coming attractions of a movie.

    Drivers are more technocrats than racers. They're busy managing things and talking to their bosses on the radio......

    You can say what you like about Germans, but you can't make them laugh.
