1. main Difference between France and Britain is that Britain is more
open to selling products from other countries, you will not find that
many non French cheeses for sale here, or non French wine. It is
changing but very slowly.

2. Bought Tomatoes here in France are generally not that wonderfull
unless you go to a small local market where growers are selling. My tip
is actually to buy Organic ones where possible as whilst I am not
bothered by use of pesticides etc, at least they have some taste

PS Garden Grown is of course best but this year, thanks to mildew and
hail, our total of 18 plants produced a total of 15 tomatoes !
