A good quality paneton is nice. People give them to me every year and I've learned to slice it, toast it, and butter it. It also makes great French toast.

A bit of nit-picking (sorry!):

Surely just 'frog' should be allowed? After all, you *are* eating frog.

Secondly, I know fava beans as broad beans - although I can see why this isn't allowed (not beginning with F), while I was researching I saw that they're also known as faba beans, so looks like this should be allowed.

Lastly, can you allow 'fruit loaf'?

I did get it, but I could envisage someone from a very different background (i.e. someone unfamiliar with French culture) just guessing 'frog', and then giving up.

Fun quiz, as ever. One suggestion: In the UK, we call ‘fruitcake’ either ‘fruit loaf’ or ‘tea loaf’, but I’ve never heard it called a ‘fruitcake’. Could these be made valid type-ins?

It's usually geese who are tortured, not ducks, but yes agreed. I completely quit eating it when I found out how it is made. A few years ago I came across a talk about ethical foie gras' made by a quirky cool person in Spain named Eduardo Sousa. (I think it was a Ted Talk). Instead of force feeding captive geese, he plants things all over his farm that migrating geese like to eat. Gorging is natural behaviour that geese use to fuel their seasonal migration. So passing geese stop by to eat, and many like his place so much they just decide to stay. They can leave anytime, but they don't want to. Then eventually he kills some of them and makes foie gras.

There is a longstanding stupid idea that forcefeeding is necessary to make foie gras delicious, but he keeps winning foie gras contests in France and elsewhere, so people are finally starting to reject this stupid notion.

Got everything on my first guess except I first tried "fried frog legs" for "frog legs".... and I have absolutely no idea which recess of my brain I pulled "fennel" out of but somehow that was my first guess, too.

They do look very unpleasant, though I think it is one of the things you hear about very often, like poptarts and twinkies. Still no idea what the former is haha. But some words you just hear very often.

I'm sure a lot of people in the southern US will be surprised to learn that you consider frog legs to be French. Here in Missouri frog season is from the end of June through the end of October. I remember my brothers coming in near dawn after a night of froggin' with a tow sack full of bullfrogs and Mom frying a skillet of bullfrog legs for breakfast with white gravy and fried potatoes. (Mom always made a cut on the legs to keep them from twitching in the pan while frying.) They are so good when they are fresh - frozen ones can't compare. Most young men in my area have a good story about going frogging. Many of them begin with, "After we went under a tree and the water moccasin fell into the boat..."

Cooky is also an acceptable spelling of cookie. In fact, in the 50s, we were taught there's no such thing as a cookie. It's one of those words where you "Change the Y to I and add ES" to make it plural. It's a cooky. Betty Crocker's Cooky Cookbook says so.

Most of the hints aren't necessary, in my opinion. The fact that all of the answers have to start with an F is enough of a clue (except maybe for Fugu). Let us rack our brains for a few seconds!

Fondue? Where i live, fondue is with meat.

The picture here is cheese, so shouldn't it be raclette?

+1
Level 60

Fondue can be cheese, chocolate or meat. But cheese is the most common since "fondue" means melted. The difference between fondue and raclette is that the first one you melt and dip the stuff on the cheese and the second you melt the top part of the cheese and then scrape on top on stuff

As others have said, this should accept Fruit Loaf (after all, it is clearly loaf shaped, not cake shaped)

Also can you accept Frites for French Fries. This is a common name you see on English menus for this style of chips.

Got all but fettucini, eventhough that is apparently a very high score, while others are very low.
