IT’S TIME FOR THE WAR!

This time the French bastard came way too far.

From: BBC World

Blair sidesteps French food fight

Tony Blair has refused to be drawn into a diplomatic row after the French president reportedly made insulting remarks about British food. Jacques CHIRAC JOKED WITH GERMAN AND RUSSIAN LEADERS: "One cannot trust people whose cuisine is so bad."

MR CHIRAC ALSO REPORTEDLY SAID BRITAIN HAD WORST FOOD AFTER FINLAND”

Bastard!!!!!! Why hell he interferes to OUR FOOD in this point. What hell my people has ever done to French? This really shows how arrogant and stupid French are. I wouldn't mind if you nuked Paris tomorrow. Wink

Even this wouldn’t be enough.....About two weeks ago...

Berlusconi rubs salt in Finnish wound at food body

"PARMA, Italy (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi repeated one of his most famous diplomatic gaffes on Tuesday by insulting the cuisine of Finland which Italy beat to host the new European Food Safety Authority. "I've been to Finland and I had to endure the Finnish diet so I am in a position to make a comparison," Berlusconi told local dignitaries ahead of the inauguration of the EFSA in the northern Italian town of Parma.

The 68-year-old media tycoon also said he had used his masculine charm to persuade Finland's president, Tarja Halonen, to give up her country's claim to host the European Union agency. "I had to use all my PLAYBOY TACTICS, even if they have not been used for some time," said Berlusconi. At the opening ceremony later in the day, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso would have the chance to sample Parma's famous smoked ham, Berlusconi said, and see for himself that it was better than traditional Finnish food."

I can tell you that an atmosphere in Finland is very anti-French and anti-Italian right now. Wink In the weekend after Berlusconi’s intult the most asked number in the phone number service was Berlusconi’s. Smiley

Fortunately our ministry for foreign affairs officially reacted for comments of both head of states by asking their  ambassadors to the "discussions" Smiley

I can promise that I won’t drink French or Italian wine within a few months. Smiley

I saw the following quote, which I think puts everything in proper perspective:

The daily Iltalehti called Mr. Chirac's comments absurd, and "in any case, even the French no longer take him seriously."

Wow! You read Iltalehti (in internet I suppose) or was the quote quoted to some other media from original one.
