Algerian president to return from France on Saturday
2005-12-28
Algerian President Abdel-Aziz Bouteflika will arrive here on Saturday after undergoing one-month treatment in France, said an official Algerian source on Tuesday. According to Algeria's state-owned television, the source said Bouteflika went through a stomach hernia operation that required observation for one-month, adding that the president will sign the 2006 financial law on the same day of arrival. The president, said the source, left Paris-based Mal-de-Mer Val-de-Grasse military hospital last December 17 and conducted medical checkups that were positive and assuring. Bouteflika was admitted into Val-de-Grasse on November 26 after gastronomic complications.

Gastronomy - the art and practice of choosing and preparing and eating good food.

Apparently he went to a French military hospital looking for good food after he couldn't find any in Algeria.
