Serge Bastarde Ate My Baguette (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
It was hidden away down a shady alley and at first I thought it was closed. But when I pushed the door it swung open and I found myself in what I can only describe as a chapel dedicated to the glory of the slaughter of bulls. The bar was called 'La Corrida' so I shouldn't really have been surprised to find it was crammed with all the paraphernalia of the bullring. Against all advice I had agreed yet again to meet up with Serge and help him out. I was kicking myself for being a complete sucker, and thinking trust Serge to pick a place like this for a rendezvous. I'd always believed Spain was the country where all the bullfighting went on. I'd even been to a bullfight as a 'bit of a lark' when a teenager on holiday there. Now there is a groundswell of opinion in Spain against the barbaric sport, with moves to ban it. When I moved to France I was under the misapprehension that if there were any bullrings here then they didn't actually kill the bull. Just teased it a bit and then, after everyone had had their fun, released it back into the fields to recover and fight another day.
