French food

Went to the Vive La France exhibition at Olympia this afternoon. It's not something I would normally have gone to but we won tickets in a competition.

And great fun it was too. Basically it was lots of stands with French wine & food and lots of free samples. As a sales ploy it worked on me -- I bought one bottle of Chablis, one bottle of rather interesting red wine from Languedoc, two dried sausages (wild boar and smoked venison), a cassoulet, two types of cheese and some mackarel pate.
