But who started that "poofy French cuisine" then. The first French Restaurant
in France was run by an Englishman - before that they all cooked at home.

Also the only reason the French had/have all those fancy sauces is to disguise
the stale meat & veg they had to eat after it had been carted across the country.
They used to specialise too much & only grow / breed one thing in each place.
