politicans and food

What is the deal with politians and food. Chraic has just come out giving out about british food. saying

"We can't trust people who have such bad food, Chirac reportedly told his German and Russian counterparts. "After Finland, its the country with the worst food"

and italian prime minister berlusconi saying In 2001, he told the European Union that Finland did not deserve the food safety agency as "Finns don't even know what prosciutto is". and that "There is absolutely no comparison between culatello (speciality ham) from Parma and smoked reindeer," Like i mean is italian anf french food really that good. Or is finish food really that bad. If you want to try it out maybe Reindeer Tenderloin with Chard and Sautéed Mushrooms might make you agree or disagree with the lads
