can anyone give me some native french food and drink and tell me where it originated from? - i.e. champagne, baguette.......

or alternatively, pst some links into your post so i can track 'em down easily.

and please no suggestions on "why don't you use wikipedia"

can you give me some well-known ones, not ones that i can't even spell, read, say, or even know if it's french, german or dutch.

thankx for your suggestions anyway.....

[Noémie]

excuse ME.
trying to help you here.

clearly they are FRENCH if they are FROM FRENCH REGIONS.
and if you can't SAY them, it's not our fault.
they're FRENCH NAMES. ffs.

go on wiki travel and search some regions - there will be some information on regional dishes there.

No, I haven't. Why do you think I made up this thread anyway?
