[Loch-Ruadh] History of April 1st

[Jane Sitton]

I have eaten snails, haggis, scotch eggs, and various other strange stuff,
and I'd pick snails over haggis any day.  I would not even try sheep
eyeballs, though.  And Logan has eaten live monkey brains, not to mention
crickets and earthworms, so I think there are weirder people out there than
the French.

And I knew about the rootstock coming from Texas; learned it in my
winemaking class I took at UTA back in '85.

Any country where the people willing eat snails  is strange. Once upon a
time the only good thing about them was their wine, but now California and
Australia have better vintages than the French.
