　　France:　　History:since the 17th century, Francehas played a major role in European and world events.

I had tried many French foods while I was traveling in France a fewyears ago. The garlic frog leg and grill escargot in herb and butter arefantastic. Lunches with the skinny beget bread and duck liver patés with aglass of red wine is great. I love French patés.
