I didn't do so bad considering I know NOTHING of french cooking or eating!
1Ooops, and I thought being French would help.
I never heard of fries being called 'pommes frites' though!
2mmm... french food.
3whelp... yeah... that went about as well as expected.... still all yummy to eat, though...
44 out of 6 isn't bad i guess....
5Yay- but my fiance is French and I lived there for awhile- I don't cook though , French cooking or otherwise, and yes pommes frites is always the word for french fries- there are several resto's in Paris that are famous for their "pommes frites".
66 out 06 6 isn't bad... Thanks, Jacques Pepin.
76/6 awesome...i found it funny though that the picture attached to the quiz is of a cheese croissant, but in French it would be fromage, not kaas, kaas would be dutch! it just made me interested in the quiz even more!
8savory is an herb?
93/6.. I remembered the julienne one from watching eddie's million dollar cook off on the disney channel
102/6 - I was rubbish!
11Happy Bastille Day everyone! I can't wait to have moules frites (mussels and fries) and a tall glass of Chimay.
12yay! 6/6. The quiz wasn't that difficult, though.
132/6 - I don't know anything about cooking but I do speak french.
14I always though french from France call french fries as "patate frite" not "Pommes de terre frites à cru, en petites tranches". hahahahah! Their so weird.
tabloid, i have called fries patat, or sometimes patat frite but we're dutch...but i think in belgium they call it that too? which is part french right....who knows i sure once we think we know it they'll change it just to make us feel stupid! haha
15My MIL would be so disappointed in me.
16Frika, lol! Yeah, Belgium is part of french but they also speak Dutch and German... I think they call it patate frite over there too but I'm not sure in France. The french in France is confusing me because they use all the perfect term in french which it's sometimes weird for me because I'm from the french side of Canada and we are influenced by them but we do have our accent and different term of naming stuff. We don't get what they says sometimes.
17Oui Oui - I did okay! Great quiz.
18It's Espagnole, not Esagnole...
19I am glad that though being an Indian, I scored above 80%. Shall improve myself next time.
