A few matters of acquired tastes.

Post by captainhaddock » Wed Sep 17, 2014 5:21 pm

Look what I bumped into the other day in Arromanches, Normandie.

Not one but 2 XM's in front of a French pub selling the famous black stuff that supposedly is very good for you 8-)

As with all, some hate it and others love it.

Not that I went in, but I've never had a decent pint of Guinness abroad.

I myself, prefer the berline :lol:

Good spot Jaap, as Peter says, estates seem rare there now.

Regarding the black stuff, they say the further from Ireland it travels, the worse a pint you will get.

I don't drink it so I have no basis for comparison :lol:

My guess is you've never been to Japan.
