    I don't see what's so weird about that, it's pretty much universal that when you live somewhere more expensive you get paid more If you got the same pay as Londoners do, Edinburgh would be as expensive as London.

    France has produced approximately two (2) good items of food.

    1) Baguettes

    2)

    I am serious you guys. Dinosaur smurfing biscuits. If you are ever in France, buy them and they will not disappoint you. Half chocolate, half biscuit, all awesome.

    I think the best polls are the ones that go by city.
    I wouldnt put Germany at 4th but neither would I put it all the way down at 22! Id say somewhere around 8-10.

    With Britain, well, having lived here for more than 15 years, I think around 20 is right.

    I think it has more to do with the fact that Canada always ranks higher than the USA in these type of things. Then again, California has a larger population than Canada.

    We all know cheese is basically fungus, but that doesn't mean you have to make it look like one.

    Down with brie!

    Brie is gross. Who can eat that crap?

    Anyway, that reminds me about one thing I found odd about French cuisine when I was over there: I don't want cheese for dessert. Give me cake or pie or ice cream, or something else actually sweet. Though I must say I loved the pastries they had for breakfast.
