France Bans Ketchup in School Cafeterias

[Steven Russell]

Pz.S. Hartlepool Utd's macot "Hangus(sp?) the Monkey" was elected mayor a few years ago.

.

Quite true. But he was unable to follow through on his pre-election promise of free bananas for schoolchildren.

Best wishes,
Steve.

I don't quite know how a thread about Ketchup moved on to S&M but given the poster involved no surprise.

Ketchup is a wonderful culinary condement.....if indeed it is a condiment....but after America declareded that a Tomato was a vegetable nothing really matters anymore anyway.

HP sauce is a nice alternative, or at least it was until they changed the recipe.

Anyway.....this is France....the country with the most overrated food in the world.....no exceptions.

Now excuse me I have to get back to my Deep-fried Mars bar supper...


P.S."Supper"..... not an evening meal but a suffix meaning "with chips".

PP.S. "Chips" are thick cut fried potatos....or "Potatoes" if you are an American vice president.

PPP.S. Chips are not french fries although french fries are chips.

PPPP.S. Although it should be pointed out French Fries are not even french....They are from Belgium (excuse my French)

PPPPP.S. btw Did the inventor of "Freedom Fries" ever live it down?

PPPPPP.S. They (The French) Do eat a lot of cheese.....but it is mostly moldy and stinks to high heaven.

PPPPPP.S. And while the term "Surrender Monkey" is very inapropriate they do tend to "Not be much use after lunch" (Cpt. G. Mainwaring circa 1942.)

PPPPzzzz.S The ocupants of Hartlepool hung a monkey a couple of hundread years ago thinking it was a Frenchman

Pz.S. Hartlepool Utd's macot "Hangus(sp?) the Monkey" was elected mayor a few years ago.

Pz.S. He (Hangus) never amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley.....but he was from Hartlepool not Hill Valley so no real surprise there.

Pz.S. I just got a text.......reminding me Mongrels is on BB3 tomorrow night.

Pz.S. That text made me lose my train of thought.....

Pz.S. So I'd just like to rap things up and say comrades.....vote against proposition 42.......you have to understand what the question is first before you can understand the answer.

I believe Thousand Island dressing has some sweet pickle relish in it. Deleware oysters are the best when you can get them.

[Errata]

I'd like to try, but very secretly.
Frying oysters would be considered a sin in France, I suspect.

Yeah, well French oysters don't have to eat the crap in a Louisiana bayou. I don't eat bivalves, but if I was going to eat a Louisiana oyster, I'd want to fry the crap out of it.

I'm surprised you people can't see it : "Hollandaise" Sickert was Saucy Jack.

[DVV]

I wonder whether there are people that still believe Jack the Ripper was the "greatest conspiracy since Guy Fawkes", as said in "The Final Sauce" ?

I may ask Phil Carter on this.

Ketchup mixed with mayo and a little Louisiana hot sauce is the thing to dip fried oysters in.

I lived next door to a McDonalds and always ordered the same thing - a fish sandwich, hold the tartar sauce. One day I went in, and before I could say anything, the help all turned and raised their hands and shouted NO TARTAR !

isn't ketchup mixed with mayo thousand island dressing? And thus the "secret sauce" of the Big Mac?

Every time someone puts Thousand Island dressing on a Reuben, a tiny Jewish puppy dies.

[Hunter]

Ketchup mixed with mayonnaise shouldn't be banned.

Although mustard is best.

Hope everybody will agree.

Sauceland Yard Investigates isn't bad either.

I trust that everyone has read Evans and Skinner's JTR Saucebook?

My sister-in-law is French so if we made them illegal, I would have to call her something else, wouldn't I? Sister-outside-the-law perhaps.

Best wishes,
Steve.

[Fleetwood Mac]

Brown sauce is the way forward.

Best wishes,

Steve.

Way forward, Steven? It's always been the way: HP, branston pickle, english mustard etc. Not that muck mayon whatever it is and tomato sauce and that French mustard with no heat - load of bollocks.

Is this the right thread for an anti-foreign rant?

We've gotta get out of the EU by the way.

Can't we make the French illegal?
