    A lot of them are not unique to France. For Example, the Chinese people eat frogs, blood (pigs, ducks etc), brains, intestines for centuries. It is only the anglo countries which have a rather limited diet.

      eating frogs or insects would be much better for the planet and for humans' health.
      many countries do it since thousands of years.
      Excessive cattle breeding destroys earth and slowly kills people.
      Insects produce protein without fat : exactly what humans need to be healthy.
      And these kinds of farms are ecologically clean and very cheap,
      and don't need land, chemicals, or even water.
      It's the only option to keep a livable planet...

I was requested to make a video on French Classical menu by one of the viewers and I think I need expert help with that.
    I am a regular watcher of France 24 (English) and would really be thankful if you could put together some great audio-visual content, keeping in minf ESL students of Asia-pacific region. I love the episodes on French culture made by the two graceful ladies and I expect them to listen to my request. Thank you for some really great content you have already hosted on UA-cam.

    You omitted to mention the Animals that are tortured before being killed & eaten! Foie Gras for example where the Goose is forced fed until it's liver is monstrously bloated. then there are "Ortolan" Larks that are caught, they are then blinded by removing their eyes, this fattens them up as they can't distinguish night from day & so eat more, the live ( and now blind bird) is then drowned in Armagnac. Although this "specialty" has been officially banned, the practice still continues & can be found in Les Landes. Quite Barbaric! - but then I would think so, being Vegetarian!

      You omitted to not spread misinformation about a culture you dont know.
      95% of establishments that make foie gras are small farms that use the original process. They run at you for their turn and its nothing to do with being hungry or w/e since its the liver. They just want to have it filled while being pet on their belly. Like a child or a dog that you would pet.
      Isnt the contrast absurd from what you've taken the time to spread and the reality? you had confidence to post this, i cant even imagine what people with less confidence can sometimes say about other cultures. There must be hilariously wild stuff said.

    I am Australian, I have never tried Snails. I get too many out the back that I accidentally step on or they eat the food I am growing in my garden beds. I use Snail bait. They still eat my crops. When it rains, they cover all the grass and even the concrete and hand built paths. The only good snail is one that doesn't eat my plants or gets picked off by the birds, They are not for me. As for Blood Sausage, I have never tried it, but I WOULD love to try it, But I cannot due to some of the ingredients ( I am allergic to).
