To the French

[stiginthedump]

I'd like to take my hat off to French for a fine performance last night, and also for giving us a grand semi-final for next week (and also to England, who played well).

As for me, I'm still a bit pissed off about losing to Fiji last week...

With all respects, but what has this to do in the forum ?

[kevinos]

Well if we are exchanging sports information, maybe we could go on to exchanging recipes and knitting patterns.etc. Does anybody have a good recipe for Coq au vin?

[stiginthedump]

There was a forum post about the football world cup last year, so...

[lukie]

Would you jump into the water if any one else did ? If there was a forum about the football cup, I think this is not valuable here neither...

I don't know if it's the purpose of this forum or not to post such messages, but I have the feeling that it becomes more and more difficult to communicate freely in this forum. TE's moral police is everywhere!
I think that Will's message was very fair and friendly (even if I really don't care about rugby!) so thanks for it!

And why not, after all, posting some recipes for good cooking? So here are some tips to succeed in preparing a very good dish from southern France: http://www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette.cfm?num_recette=12736

And sorry for those who don't like fish, or olive oil. And for those who always complain about everything: here is a new topic for you!!!

All the best.

Next time I will speak about the Cassoulet recipe!

[kevinos]

Oh! The Cassoulet of the Perigord! now your talking! What memories I have of that dish when I was young.I could manage Coq au Vin here but Cassoulet is out; we can't buy fois gras in Bangkok. However, if we ever run out of recipes we could always discuss photography.

Thanks, Will. Quite a surprise. I will try a place where to watch the semi...Free! (4 years ago sport pubs charged 20$!!!) against the english. It was fun reading the news from New Zealand sites last night. especially how they were going to trunce us, pre-match talk.

the relation to TE, gentlemen, how come you missed it, but it's points of course, points, points, points. 20-18 exactly, and a big gallic smyley!

come on, Luc, if you don´t care just don´t read! Where the hell did you see that photo should be the only subject in this forum?
