Viva la French soup!
I shall save the bulk of my exchange trip to France for future posts...it contains a lot of boardworthy material. However, to the point...

The French family I had gone to stay with in Bordeaux decided that they would host a dinner party, there's about 12 of us sat round the dinner table, all looking very French and sophisticated asides from me in my C&A black denim christopher biggins jeans and waistcoat with a not very tasteful luminous aztec style trim - (note to self: You are quite clearly traumatised by this - move on) it was 1989.

The soup comes out and it's some sort of bland tasting watery crap, but after a couple of spoonfuls I notice some crunchy bits, I look down and there, in my soup, are tiny little white (maybe blanched?) 6 legged bugs!

Queue my best "12 year old trying desperately not to heave face" whilst watching everyone else around the table chow their own soup down! Ewww

Is this some sort of French delicacy?

They also ate horse.
