What A Jacques Ass!

I know what it's like to get myself into trouble by saying something I shouldn't have, but I love this story anyway. French President Jacques Chirac (former ally and trading partner of Saddam Hussein) was overheard making comments about British and Finnish cuisine yesterday. The comments have apparently motivated someone to challenge Chirac to put his money where his mouth is, so to speak. Read the article here.

After reading the article my only question (and, yes, I know I'm probably the only one on the planet who would think of this): Why not serve a fine English Ale or Finnish Sahti with those dishes. Either one would match a hell of a lot better than French wine (whine)!
