when i first visited france around 1992, my host was a construction entrepreneur. they built the majority of the port in calais lol. when they showed me the port itself, he used to literally scream (!!!) ROAST BEEF at english tourists on their boats
he was such a nice person. his wife picked me up at the airport, i met the guy during the first dinner. the first sentence he asked me before even introducing himself was whether i was a communist. i was 15
