Seared Seal, With A Side Of Hypocrisy
From The New York Times:
[A]lmost every table [at Montreal’s Au Cinquième Péché bistro] was sampling an appetizer plate that included . . . a seared, rare loin, dark red in color, with a texture and taste akin to beef tenderloin. But the meat was not beef. It was seal.
Across town, at Les Îles en Ville, Andrée Garcia, an owner and chef, has elevated seal from an occasional specialty to a regular feature. . . . She has noticed a pattern among the customers who order it: many are tourists from France. “The French are against seal hunting,” Ms. Garcia said, “but when they come here, they want to eat it.”

Love them "Frenchie's". The only thing they've been "successful" at was "hosting" and invasion, TWICE !
I hate it when i get lumped into a group for something that I don't conform to, I'm sure all french are are against seal hunting.....
Don't forget "surrender" and 'ungrateful' LOL
those French planes hold up good too... except when it gets windy
I'd like to try the seal meat but I don't think a trip to Canada is in the budget anytime soon. That restaurant doesn't really sound like my kind of place anyway.
not everyone from one country thinks the same.. and if those french people cant taste the great sealmeat at home then let them try it someplace where seal is hunted cooked and served..
MMMmmmmmm seal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:P
I'd like to try seal. But I suppose I wouldn't want to shoot it, rather I'd like to try clubbing it. Sounds fun.
The French never have really made any sense... why would they start now?
Is anyone really surprised at this. this seems to be the way that the french operate. afraid of terrorists back down and let the rest of the world take care of it. They always want to take the high road but they are willing to take advantage of others taking the low road.
