You can do the same thing for Americans.

About 8 years ago I asked an American friend to tell me 2 things that the USA was not good at/for.
I met him again 2 years ago and he told me that he had not forgotten the question and that he was still working on it.

It would appear that I am quite French. I certainlly can be stroppy enough and I do like oysters, snails and very smelly cheese !!

Mme TP would have failed miserably on the French quizz; never been on strike, and detests smelly cheeses, she actually refuses to have my favorite Munster in the house! Thinks the French Revolution was an abomination too. Complains a lot though (so does all her family) so she'd get a score of at least 1%.
Foie gras, and duck confit are high on my 'like' list, also think Serge gainsbourg was a genius and love my coffee black, so just wondering which side of the fence I should really be sitting........

You checked out 25 out of 90 on this list!

You’re as French as Sex and the City’s last episode. You may know France fairly well. You may even be in France right now. But you’ve only scratched the surface of what it means to be French. You have yet to feel the existential angst that comes with it.

And my 'official' results:-

How French Are You? You checked out 18 out of 90 on this list!
You’re as French as the fake Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. You’re probably a sweet, enthusiastic and optimistic human being, and that’s precisely why France isn’t a place for you. Try Belgium instead.




Should I start packing my bags now?

25/90 = 39/90? Reminds of the art quiz the other day which gave me a score of 10/12 - before I took the quiz!

I should have added I claim extra points for loving pieds et paquets, andouilettes and knowing which mushrooms are edible!

I did it for a laugh and said Yes for 20 out of the total.
OH didn't do much better than me, with only 23, and he's French! Va savoir, Charles....

You checked out 60 out of 90 on this list!

You're as French as Jean Dujardin eating camembert on the Canal Saint Martin. You’re pretty French. You know good food and good wine and although you’re a pessimist who complains a lot, you always know how to enjoy life.


And I didn't think I was very French
