...onions, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles and fried corn bread). Even when their food isn't fried, they like to smother it in gravy.

And also in 1975, French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing invited the heads of state and government from West Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States to a summit in his country. The seeds were sown for what we now know as the Group of Eight...
