It seems that the *real* BBQing is coming to France.
I found some French websites offering Kamados or similar:

http://www.dutry.com/merken/biggreen...arbecue-f.html

If they offer that, it means that there is a market.
It seems that some French are moving from our usual grilling to BBQ.

As all the members of the FNCP (Frog Nationalist Cooking Party), I am a bit
concerned by the invasion of MacDo, KFC and similar in France (Did you know
that France is the European country with the highest ratio of MacDo per
head?).

But the Kamado invasion is, for sure, not a concern for us. Welcome :-)
Cheers

The Central Committee of the FNCP (Frog Nationalist Cooking Party) recently
met and evaluated the French political spectrum.
You know about Chirac in the US, but you have little information about his
opponents.
We came to the conclusion that the French politicians, all of them, have
something in common with expired old stinky ugly French cheese: The smell.
So the Central Committee of the FNCP released an electoral directive, to be
applied in each and any elections till further notice: Let them know how
they smell.
We will consequently all insert in the ballot envelope a 5 months old slice
of the worst French cheeses such as Camembert, Brie or French blue cheese,
nicely aged in a dark, warm and highly humid environment.

For those in Northern America who have the same sort of opinion about their
own politicians, don't bother to try to procure French cheese. Too expensive
at your places. Just contact me, I have few recipes available, based on fish
and eggs, that can do the same job. I won't post them, as all what I have
read here looks good till date and I don't want to disgust anyone here
around, simply send me a private email.

Cheers
Daniel

That invasion started ten years ago in Switzerland.

Imho, the French know the unsignificance of fast food very much though.

320 Euro seems kind of high. It's $179 US at Amazon (free shipping).

Yeah, I know that. I guess the weak dollar and overseas shipping
factors in.
