I tried cherries at first but it wasn't accepted, only cherry. The only reason I got it correct was because of the color, cerise. I was trying to think of every food that is red.

I went by colour, only I was obviously thinking of another one and went for celery! Oh dear. I eventually got cherry because I really looked at the word and thought about it. And guessed a lot.

I only had one lesson in French, ever, in primary school (approx 50 years ago) and I got them all. I think it has to do with them being food, reading cook books and my Mum's good guessing gene.

You should change "frites" to "pommes frites". "Frites" on its own just means fried. And you should also add French fries as an acceptable answer.

It is not pâté : you can make pâté with liver (and with a lot of other things too), but liver is the organ, foie, and only foie. You've got a liver, you are not made of pâté !

There is no need to learn culinary French. If you are in a restaurant in France everything on the menu will be delicious by definition. All you have to do is to point at random and wait for a fantastic meal. Neantmoins, j'ai recu 24 sur 24 :)
