    French Ambassador to Turkey Paul Poudade expressed his delight of
    Turkish cuisines, indicating he would give his life for rice pudding.

    In an interview with True Magazine, Poudade talked about the "Armenian
    Matter" and the latest political fluctuations in bilateral relations
    and said an "Armenian Matter" exists which requires a solution.

    "The tension between Turkey and France that appeared recently was
    cyclical. There was no need to focus on them too much," Pounded said.

    "I should underline that we are in full cooperation with Turkey in
    all international issues, beginning with the crisis of Iran about
    which we are very pleased with the initiatives of Turkey. We decided
    that the French people should declare its opinion on Turkey's full
    membership with a referendum."

    In response to Esra Cepnili's question about Turkish cuisines,
    Poudade said: "I like Turkish cuisines very much. I can give my life
    for a rice pudding. They make great rice puddings at Ismail's place
    on Bolu Mountain between Istanbul and Ankara. I always stop for a
    rest there when I'm going or coming from Istanbul. Turkish cuisines
    are extraordinary since it is a combination of Mediterranean, Middle
    East and yuruk traditions. It has an incredible diversity and it's a
    constantly renewed joy, to discover the Kayseri manti or the kebabs
    of the southeast in my journeys. I want to make a suggestion here:
    Turkish cooks shouldn't hesitate to change their legacy of traditions;
    they should enrich them and re-create them. I am, and will always be,
    a lover of Turkish cuisines."
