Each To His Taste. = As The French Say PARIS (CP)--The restaurant on the rue Daunou is instantly beguiling. The decor is luxur- ious without, as the French say, "tapping at the eye." The wait- ers are actually smiling. Our host expands. Pierre is a career diplomat, his aquiline features bronzed in colonial ser- vice. He is a bon coup de four- chette--a handy man with a fork --and expects tthers to match his gourmandizing. He insists that you start with stuffed mussels. Then comes steak au poivre, a hunk of meat saturated with fresh cream, cooked in flaming cognac and studded with pepper cloves. An accompanying Clos Vougeot, 1955, induces a sense of well- being. Pierre redently visited Britain and can't resist comparisons. "Reflect a little, old man," he says, with gestures. "Just look at that old woman over there. No longer young and not very beautiful, or course, but every so often she smiles to herself, so happy at just being in a place like this. ference from those places we went to in London!" h D ST ENGLISH LAMB With a grimace, he remem- bers his English lamb cutlet, veined with fat and smeared with mint sauce, the bane of every Frenchman. The peas, billed as '"'petits pois," were big as marbles and exuded rivulets of emerald green. "They treat them with bicar- bonate to get that sickly green color," somebody said. . A Canadian, mindful of a min- gled Anglo - French heritage, could see the other side. Think of the English schoolboys re- turning from holidays abroad, drooling with ecstasy at the thought of a "real English breakfast." Bacon and eggs, toast and marmalade, the lot-- "After all, there's no country to compare with France. What a not just a measly roll and cof- fee, continental style. How about the Canadian ockey player who said his team would have won, all right, if only the beys had been able to get a "good steak" in Paris? Or the Canadian government official, on his first visit to Eu- rope, begging somebody to show him a restaurant where he could have a simple meal, shorn of those rich Parisian sauces? But is there something to be said for grey skies and austere diet, for Anglo-Saxon tolerance and kindliness and national co- hesion and steadiness, as op- posed to Gallic individualism, douceur de vivre, exuberance pushed to excess, the rigors of the French critical spirit? Maybe. A Canadian feels caught between cultures, a foot in either camp. Well, not to worry. Let's make the best of both worlds.
