Quick quote from an article about the gentleman"
""Why shouldn’t they ask me? I’m a good chef. I can do 15 different versions of an omelette. An omelette! And I am so passionate."
Yes, well, and it may be precisely for this reason that he’s been selected. "Oh," he says, laughing finally. "You mean for the ladies. I lerrrve ladies. I lerrrve English ladies. I’d never marry someone French. They are so, so difficult, French women. They are all full of... they want this and they want that... and they don’t eat. They wave their forks near their lips and that’s it. But women here love to eat. Mind you, they are terrible cooks, terrible. In fact, British women can’t cook." "
Why don't we invite him to show us how, Sue, especially as he needs a British wife...?
