Life in rural France - Food - Friends - Wine - Cheese - Comments
Welcome to French Food
Focus. The name describes the intent of this blog. I'll focus on food
and because I live in rural France the stress will be upon French food. There are numerous posts
concerning life in France and, certainly,
opinions about anything that strikes my fancy.
If
you have some good recipes or if you want to rave
about any great French
restaurants this
is the place to do it.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings about rural France!

Guess I'm just an old grouch
Some
of you reading this may have been following the discussion on eGullet
about taking photographs in restaurants. If so, you'll know that I'm
firmly against it. Never the less I have been willing to at least listen
to arguments from the opposing sides, but reluctantly I've begun to come
to the conclusion that we're dealing with a much more serious issue
underlying this issue.
As I read the posts from the photographers I can only come to the
conclusion that most of them seem to be of a mind set that says me...
me...me !! I will do what I want, when I want to & where I want to and to
hell with the rest of the world. There seems to be lip service at best to
considering anything others might feel. No, I'll do what I want. The world
is waiting for my artistic interpretation of the food I eat!
I find this unfortunate and having met many of these people find them
unfortunate. No manners! Few morals! Little sensitivity! I could go on,
but why bother. They love themselves to the exclusion of anyone else.
As my title says maybe I'm just an old grouch, but I do have a few manners
and I do take the feeling of my fellows into account and I do wonder if
the me.. me.. me attitude might have had anything to do with causing the
financial chaos that's finally easing a bit. Certainly, there was little
but immediate short term gain & fat bonuses in that whole fiasco.
Enough! I rarely let myself get carried away on this blog, but these
photographic idiots pushed me a bit too far.
Sorry.
