Exactly. Why does the French food turn so many people on? Give me good ole Spaghetti and Meatballs, Irish Stew and Yorkshire Pudding any ole day.

"Why does the French food turn so many people on?"

Because it's made with copious quantities of butter and other fats.

I've been in one or two french restaurants, but I don't remember eating any good food in one. Geez! these folks eat snails and find them "filling".

I also remember stopping for a burger on the way home...

I never understood it either. It has always made me sick. When I grew up, if you wanted to go to a good resturant, it meant French. Today, as my experience has widened, it is probably the only ethnic cuisine I don't like. Give me German, ME, Indian, Chinese, probably in that order. Do NOT give me French.

It's perfect food for Liberals. They can eat heart-clogging fatty foods (which they're always browbeating everyone else about eating) and feel "worldly" and "sophisticated" while they do it.

Au revoire, le Restaurant du French! (No wait...that's too temporary...lemme Americanize that.)

So long, Frenchie! Don't let the door hit your butt on the way out!

You got me there. The only food I'll blow big bucks on is Chinese. I like Vietnamese (especially steaming hot pho) and Italian too. But French? Who needs it?

Irish stew is great. Lamb ....  yum.
