    The wine pairings are particularly unimpressive.

    I hear the choux pastry is often verging on the dry side of acceptable

    Apparently he gets to buy food and cook himself, although no alcohol allowed of course. So the question is really: how's his cooking?

    They offered a rather indifferent Rausan-Segla.

    British food.

    I mean, jail should be a punishment, right?

    There's not many heavy sauces in french cuisine anymore, that's part of history now.

    He's obviously a cuisine classique Escoffierite.

    The food at two of the schools I went to in France most definitely would serve as punishment.

    In fact, I don't even think you could make British food as bad as that food was.

    Probably very similar to food served at colleges in America, since it all comes from Sodexho

    I have been 15 months in French psychiatric jail. It tastes like *. It is basically plastic trays, very industrial microwaven at the last time, and you hope everyday that it will be your favorite meal, because they tend to rotate the food, and it tastes lik * all the time.

    Also I Wanted to say that French jail is NO JOKE. You already hurt from inhumane solitary, or else you have a cell with a TV (there is indeed a TV) but to socialize with psychopatic and/or "exotic" people. They're not "kind", and they're not nice.

    Even other exotic people had a rough time. It is filled with aggressivity, honor struggles, ect.. JAIL IS NO JOKE. On top of that, it spans a looooong time... You cannot realize how loooong it is to be in jail, it feels forever. People who never went to jail cannot realize that.

    I am basically thinking nowadays that jail is torture and it should not be a thing. It is very torture... Let us militate for the end of that.

    You kill a single mom and her children for fun , those people shouldn’t suffer consequences for that ?

    No state can claim to have a 0% false conviction rate. Would accept inhumane treatment while imprisoned if other, more deserving, people received the same?
