Hubbie had an English breakfast in France yesterday and was grumpy that the sausages and bacon weren't what you'd get at home

Would you expect what you'd get at home?

Or allow poetic licence given the frankfurter type sausages are what they see as a sausage

In German too. English sex is S&M. French sex means oral.

And French kissing.

A French plait is une tresse indienne and a Guinea pig is a cochon d'Inde
