Don't say it too loud, but I love fish and chips, and marmite. Irish beer is better than yours though

Okay, I forgive you.

Must admit I love a baked camembert with garlic.

You got me hungry.

One thing you guys have better than us (on top of Rugby World Cups won), is national anthems. All 3 are beautiful.

Watching rugby in a pub packed with British people is always embarrassing when it comes to singing. Even drunk as mfers I remember them singing very well, beautiful songs, while we couldn't sing our stupid salacious songs correctly to save our lives.

You gotta admit we got the better food though, otherwise the South West of France wouldn't be invaded by British retirees every summer...

The scene in "Casablanca" where Victor Laszlo leads the French in singing "La Marseillaise" to drown out the German soldiers singing German drinking songs is quite moving, though.

I might be the exception as Englishmen go but I don't like our anthem. Too slow and stoic. At least La Marseillaise has a good tempo. Given the choice I'd prefer Rule Brittania.

La Marseillaise is a nice popular song and it can be electrifying when sung by thousands of people... but I think it doesn't even come close to the beautiful, powerful and kinda sad majesty of God Save the Queen or Flower of Scotland. The later gives me chills every time.

I drink Guinness so I'm saying nothing.

Except at least we don't eat garden pests and pond life...

Actually I've never eaten frog... But I love snails. By far not the weirdest French food though ^^
