A QUICHE LIKE FRANCE

"It didn't really turn out how I wanted, I think."
"Really? It looks good."
"It tastes good, its just the pan was too big so I had to build this wall of crust across the pan so it wouldn't spread too far."
"But the wall appears to have held."
"Yep."

They eat a while.

"So...I guess the quiche is a bit like France."
"Like what?"
"Like France."
"Like The country?"
"Yeah. Ocean to the west, mountains to the south, river to the north. Nothing to the east. My social studies teacher told us its why France was at war so often throughout history. It had no natural border to the east, so it was a continued fight to define and contain the nation."

They eat some more.

"Do you like it."
"Its delicious."
