European ketchup is more like tomato sauce than ketchup. Besides, I think the French use mayonnaise on their American fries.

—France bans ketchup in cafeterias—

Missleading headline. It should read “France bans ketchup in SCHOOL cafeterias”

The difference is enormous. It also makes this pretty much a non-story, which is why they left the word out of the headline.

We've seen this over and over again. At first, it always looks like the French are acting to defend their cuisine/language/culture/whatever, and that seems laudable. However, it's always the same; the French treating American and English culture as a corrosive influence. While deliberately ignoring the elephant in the room.

A small part of me can't wait to see the response when the Muslims begin burning the French vineyards and distilleries.

Sorry. I just can't get worked up over someone's opinion about food when the epitome of their haute cuisine is..........bait.

Why is it that France insists on making itself a laughing stock?

I think it will affect the Senior Senator John F.(Mr. Teresa HEINZ) Kerry from the Commonwealth of Massachusettes slightly more than Mr. Bloomberg.

Good to see that France is willing to lead the way on the all-important condiment issue in these troubled times.

Lunacy.

Haven’t the French figured out they’ve got more pressing domestic problems than whether or not Petit Jean-Claude likes to his burger with Heinz?

Just relabel it “Tomato Vinaigrette” and we’re set to go.

You have to love the French - last time I was there I had a Duck, pork and sausage cassoulet that had enough fat per portion to knock a hippo unconscious and they ban tomato ketchup on health grounds! :D

Mind you, I half blame my American friends who continue to patronise gallic sorts by continuing to call them ‘french fries’. Do as we Brits do - stick two fingers up Churchill style to le grenouilles and call them ‘CHIPS’!

The French ban on ketchup will quickly change once Heinz sends three night security guards around the Maginot line.
