I love France too, but with some reservations as well. She is that slightly batty, definitely stubborn, stylish great aunt who alternates puzzles, charms and exasperates...Audrey Tatou is cuter than the French society she has come to embody...But trust me, lardons are a great substitute for sliced bacon. Far more flexible, culinarily speaking. Ha! I love France too, but with some reservations as well.
