There are some extremely unpleasant and xenophobic e-mails flying around as a result of our French chums' refusal to suck Spam bum. Personally, having worked avec les grenouilles in the past, I have a lot of respect for their natural Gallic stubborn manner. All Frenchmen take it as a birthright to outsmart authority - whether that's the taxman or whoever - so licking the crimplene-clad ar$e of Uncle Spam is hardly a national characteristic!
Let me think, Chardonnay, Medoc, Camembert, Brie...........or Cold Duck and Monterrey Jack? Hmmm
