Summary

Pathe synopsis: A miniature version of the United Nations is assembled in a London hotel. The object is not to discuss a possible summit meeting, but to introduce and publicise food and drink of various nations. The French stall gives prominence to frogs’ legs and wine, the Russian to caviar and vodka, the English to roast beef and Yorkshire pud, the American to hot dogs...a paradise for international gourmets - and everyone else!
