Spotted Dick, S'il Vous Plait
Tom Higgins, a translator who was spending much of his time in Geneva and his wife, Sue, a doctor, the brave English couple in Spotted Dick, s'il vous plait: An English Restaurant in France, did just that. A foolhardy venture, perhaps, because not only did they possess little experience in the professional food trade, they had the audacity to serve English cuisine to discerning Lyonnais.
