Book excerpt: 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. It is a well known fact the Lyon is not only the gastronomic capital of France (some say the world) boasting many Michelin-starred establishments, but that the French have a notorious disdain for English cooking. Would they be able to overcome the national horror of English pudding?
