Would line 12 be better as "... I think you may have guessed"?

It may/might be better, Brian, but I decided on
might because of the assonance with
knife in the previous line. Plus, I've already submitted it to "Tessa".

The French have a splendid cuisine but it does not extend to puddings.

John, the French are far more inventive in their puddings than with their main courses - dominated by boeuf bourguignon and coq au vin - giving us the splendid crème brulée, the aforementioned tarte tatin, choux à la crème, to name but three...
(Neither do the French (in my experience) serve a profusion of lovely vegetables, as we do.)
Brian may -
or might 
- have a different view on this.
