Presumably, then, you go to the Russian super-market to buy your Egyptian sausages when your Albanian friend and his foul madamas comes to stay???

Pate' on toast.

Apart from the occasional bit of sandwich ham, the only thing I buy on a regular basis is pate'. It's my son's favourite breakfast food - bowl of porridge with honey and a piece of toast with pate'.
