Sorry. But don't get me wrong, that doesn't diminish the breadth in 
excellence of traditional french cooking. It's just that few french people 
cook it!

Great, thanks very much, it's safely snagged and I'll try it out asap. I may 
have to substitute for the chinese sausage, possibly with our local butcher's 
dried sausage, which can't be too far different. I'm not sure about patis, 
however we have some Dutch Indonesian friends and I'll ask Jacquie to ask 
them about it when she goes to teach them french next Monday.
All the Best
Ian
