Rillettes de radis Fastoche

Rillettes de radis Fastoche
Is a dish much in vogue with the Boche
Denn in Frankreich lebt man
Wie Gott nirgendwo kann
And no one can stand German noche

Hatched gratuitously in St.Martin de Ré.

I don’t know who said “The trouble with German food is that no matter how much of it you eat, an hour later you’re hungry for power”, but I wish I had. Very witty, and, of course, harmless.
