Well, this is definitely OT, but, it's late, and I'm having some excellent
hot stuffed peppers with my Friday beer, so...
In France, you are likely to be asked, in conversation with someone who
knows you, "how's your liver", just as someone in the U.S. might ask after
your health, or heart. They do not have the rate of heart disease that we
do, despite eating far greater quantities of fatty foods, but they do drink
lots more alcohol (vive la difference!), so they tend to have more liver
problems. This was documented in a 60 Minutes episode not too long ago. The
French have far more time to savor what they eat (1 1/2 to 2-hr. lunches are
common, and only the fools go to MacD's), and have a more relaxed
life-style. I was lucky enough to live in Paris for 6 weeks, so I have some
experience to draw on. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Thank you,
