The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread?

On my recent trip to France we drove down to an area we were in three years ago because the grandchildren wanted to revisit a particularly nice bathing place. We had lunch at a small restaurant above the bar in the village of Meyrals where we had eaten several times before. Lunch was still EUR 10 for four courses the same as it was in 2003. Freshly made soup brought in a tureen so you take as many helpings of it as you wanted, a sizeable piece of rillette with a couple of cournichons, a chicken leg with frites and salad, a choice of desserts and a bottle of anonymous but palatable wine among the three adults. Coke for the two children and coffee for the adults came to an extra EUR 7.50. Cheap indeed.

Really vile French wine is much rarer since the Australian wine-makers moved in. French producers at the low end hadn't caught on to modern commercial methods (these have their own drawbacks, of course).
