[QUOTE="nxy, post: 8917571, member: 466"] To add to the list of things the French do better, I would add supermarkets and meat labelling. If I am not eating my own beef I buy it in a local Intermarche supermarket which is a franchise. The man that owns it is there in the building. He buys all the fresh produce including meat he can locally and direct, because its cheaper and better. The beef is mostly from local farms and killed within 50 miles at one of 3 or 4 local abattoirs, which brings me to the second point. This is a standard french beef label: [ATTACH type="full"]1135543[/ATTACH] Along with the obvious stuff like use by and packing date etc it tells you roughly where an animal is from (not the actual farm), the abattoir where it was killed and where it was cut up. It tells you which type of animal it was from 4 different categories which are Male under 2 years old, Male over two years old, Heifer (never calved) or Cow. It tells you if the race was pure bred dairy, pure bred meat breed or cross bred. This information appears on every piece of beef sold anywhere. [/QUOTE]
