    Drat I got the last one wrong. Some of those stumped me and I thought I was good at my French menus. Nicely done. If you are going to a foreign country, it really does pay to learn a bit of the language, especially when it comes to food.

    Interesting lens

    I think I need to learn french.

    Great quiz. I got one wrong though. I always order with confidence, then when the food turns up I eat it and pretend I knew what I was going to get.

    good Lens!

    Heck no apparently even after taking years of French in school I was only barely able to pass your quiz LOL *blessing* for the tutoring

    Great lens although I only got half the answers right!
  • COUNTRYLUTHIER Feb 5, 2012 @ 12:54 am | delete
    No wonder I didn't get what I ordered. I was thinking of the wrong thing. What a quiz!
  • DANCINGCOWGIRLDESIGN Feb 3, 2012 @ 9:10 pm | delete
    7 out of 10 on the quiz. I better get back to the TV and watch some more cooking shows. They just kill me with some of the terms they use....I'm thinking " why didn't you just say green beans if that's what it is. ha ha ha Enjoyed the quiz!

    Not very likely, but I did learn some things. I jus' cannot imagine that I'll be able to remember any of it when I would actually need it.
  • jksterling Oct 23, 2011 @ 4:19 pm | delete
    Not a chance, but I better off than before the quiz. Thank you.
  • wolfie10 Oct 22, 2011 @ 5:59 pm | delete
    i don't think so, but it was fun to see how little i knew. lol

    well done
  • davespeed Oct 4, 2011 @ 4:32 pm | delete
    fraid not. But I would love to be able to. How cool it would be to be in a French restaurant and order from the menu in French. Nice lens!
  • OldStones Sep 28, 2011 @ 6:03 am | delete
    I don't think I would be able to order with confidence from a French menu, but I think I could muddle through. Scored 80% on the quiz.

    Need to study my french, thumbs up

  • good4us_all Jun 26, 2011 @ 3:12 pm | delete
    I missed "mariniere," "goujon," and "provencale' (oops! thought I knew that one). Maybe I should go to a nice French restaurant and practice a little. Thanks for a tasty lens!
    ;-)

    This is a great idea for a lens, absolutely love it. (I'll have to return to the poll, though...:)

  • bikerchickie Jun 15, 2011 @ 5:51 pm | delete
    100% on the quiz. But I speak French, so maybe that's cheating? :)

    I got 4 correct, only because of my high school french class. Learned some more. Thanks (:
  • karmicchristian May 28, 2011 @ 9:15 am | delete
    Definitely need to brush up my French before entering an a la carte restaurant. :)
    Nice fun. Thanks!

    Didn't do too well on a quiz but I learned a lot, so now I can do much better in french restaurants :)
  • pimbels May 20, 2011 @ 12:45 pm | delete
    4/10 hmm. I don't know the french food very well.
  • lil_muchang May 17, 2011 @ 4:19 am | delete
    I did very well 90%! Guess living in France for 7 years pays
  • Serenia May 7, 2011 @ 4:33 pm | delete
    My spouse is french (canadian) and a chef (but hasnt worked in that business for a very long time) and I still only got 60%. At least he learnt some things he has forgotten LOL

    Thanks for the challenge.
  • ltraider Apr 26, 2011 @ 10:53 am | delete
    6/10 ugh. I used to live in France, I guess I didn't eat out much.
  • raphaelo Apr 19, 2011 @ 5:14 pm | delete
    5 wonderful stars for this great quiz lens.. even I've just got 50% ;) Have a wonderful time.. artyfax :)

    I started out well, but missed the last two. Excellent and informative quiz!
  • ChrisDay Apr 17, 2011 @ 10:50 pm | delete
    Only hit 80% - silly mistakes!
  • ChrisDay Apr 17, 2011 @ 10:49 pm | delete
    This would have been SOOOO useful when we first started travelling to France, many aeons ago! Lovely quiz - nostalgia trip and mouthwatering.
  • WindyWinters Mar 31, 2011 @ 9:58 pm | delete
    Cool quiz. My score was only 60% and although I know some French, I'm not familiar with the names of French foods! Guess I better stick to Chinese, Italian, and Japanese Foods. "Bon Appetit". :)
  • blackspanielgallery Mar 30, 2011 @ 11:49 pm | delete
    Nice lens
  • garyr_h Mar 27, 2011 @ 9:20 am | delete
    Perhaps, but I've only ever been to a French restaurant once in my life.
  • LoKackl Mar 27, 2011 @ 9:16 am | delete
    50 percent right - would probably mean lots of delays if I were traveling in France! I like how you have transitioned between modules with each one "standing on" the previous.
  • remanon Feb 21, 2011 @ 5:12 pm | delete
    90%!! Parlez vous francais? Oui - ok that's it! Thanks for a fun lens.
  • Tipi Feb 13, 2011 @ 9:18 pm | delete
    Well, I can now tell you that if I ever order in a French restaurant that I will be surprised by what I will get at least 50% of the time. Golly, I hope I don't get those tentacles! Well done!
  • artyfax Jan 7, 2011 @ 7:39 am | delete
    I will start the ball rolling. I was actually in a spainish restaurant on majorca and I thought that I was ordering Calimari ( battered squid rings) which I quite enjoy. In fact when the food was served I had inadvertently ordered whole, grilled squid. At first I was a little put off by the tentacles but mamaged to fight my way through the meal and even enjoyed it - except the tentacles, they got left on the plate.
