The French Have Some Sauce to Ban Tomato Ketchup
11th October 2011
In one of the more bizarre prohibitions of modern times, France has banned tomato ketchup from primary schools. No longer will French schoolchildren be able to slug a gloop of delicious sweetness on to their lunch, never again will sloppy redness transform a gristly plate of blanquette de veau into something palatable, no more will youngsters across the Channel be able to sneak some of the viscous condiment into a hankie and attempt to skive off PE by claiming they have a nose bleed. Thus, at a stroke, the most dependable way to make a school meal edible has been denied to an entire generation.
The swine.
