Gammon Ham with Pineapple Chunks
Normandy. The only region of France with weather as bad as the UK. I guess that’s why so many Ex-Pats feel at home here.
I pause to look at the menu outside the John Bull restaurant:
Gammon Ham with Pineapple Chunks.
I suddenly realise I’ve never eaten Gammon Ham with Pineapple Chunks. Not here. Not back home. Not ever.
“Ah!” I say out loud, “Gammon Ham with Pineapple Chunks, I guess this is a restaurant designed to appeal to British people.”
“Exactly!” chuckles the French waitress smoking a cigarette in the doorway.
