I am not an admirer of the French, generally speaking, but I was in rural western France last year, and came across an elementary school which had posted the day's lunch menu on its gate: green salad, moules frites (steamed mussels with fried potatoes), and lemon soufflé.
I tried to imagine a typical American 3rd-grader being served a lunch like that. I also wondered what kind of wine they served.
