Mademoiselle,

I shudder to think what some of the items you mention might even be, to say nothing of trying to eat them.  However, I will charitably assume that it is this debased and uncivilized language in which we are forced to communicate that is at fault, and not the food items themselves.

How will you torture us?  By making us eat English food?  Perhaps we should beg for the mercy of death!

Vive la belle France!
