General De Gaulle: probably wasn't a Guardian fan anyway

I like the French and I love French food but I’m delighted by this story in The Guardian which suggests that we rosbifs are better at cooking than our Continental cousins.

I thought about ringing around some of 5pm’s French restaurant members for a comment but couldn’t face either the ear ache or the laughter.

If you want to assess the evidence for yourselves then the following 5pm restaurants will happily demonstrate why they think The Guardian survey is rot. In Edinburgh, Daniel’s, La Bagatelle, La Garrigue, La P’tite FolieLe Marche Francais and Le Sept are all flying the tricolore. In Glasgow, Le Chardon D’Or, La Vallee Blanche and La Bonne Auberge all have more than a touch of Gallic blood coursing through them.
