“- Well, fancy that! I thought that we had just discovered a deserted island or at least a country inhabited by cannibals. - No, Sir.... and the proof is that, if you want, I am going to make you eat an excellent fricassee of game in a white wine sauce. - A fricassee of game ....oh, then it's different..... we are with the Chatophages.
