    but it means more wine and cheese and pate for the rest of us.

    Don't forget the crepes and baguettes!

    Now if only the dollar would go up again....

    I'm eating Nutella right now... ah, wonderful French food products

  3. JDM   22 years ago

    I think Nutella is Italian. Credit where credit is due. The french would've added rabbit liver or some damn thing.

  4. Nutella   22 years ago

    Nutella is german.

    British teeth get all the respect of a French deodorant salesman.

    if course, if this were the "scratch n snif book of french hygene", we'd get all the defenders of la belle france out here. and this would probably be considered an example of "anti french sentiment".

    in reality, it's not. and those people who all of a sudden don't like france because of its opposition to the sandbox war, part deux, are the ignorant ones. but it means more wine and cheese and pate for the rest of us.

    so there!

    Nutella is yummy. I think it's not so much the chocolate, but rather the hazelnut goodness. And the frogs had nothing to do with it.
