Jacques Chirac insults Finland
Speaking in Kaliningrad to Gerhard Schroeder and Vladimir Putin, Jacques Chirac made the outrageous statement that “After Finland, [Britain] is the country with the worst food.”
This is completely untrue. Helsinki has great restaurants (we dined at the historic old Kämp Hotel a few years ago), better Russian food than in St Petersburg or Moscow, and coffeee shops rivalling those in Vienna, with wonderful pastries etc.
Bravo Finland!

It looks like many people have recently been abusing Finland. Maybe we should ask the Swedish or Norwegian :-)
