Have a heart! Help your fellow man...

The French celebrate Bastille Day on July 14th, marking the end of
monarchy and the beginning of the French Revolution. The storming
of the Bastille launched France's establishment as a nation of liberty.

Okay. So perhaps you are still a bit miffed. The French are not the
allies they once were (to put it mildly). But please, mes amis, let us
not be political here. This is La Belle Cuisine! (Surely you do not
want us to change our name, right?) We are here to talk about food.
Glorious Food. And surely you will admit that it is somewhat difficult
for a serious cook to totally ignore the culinary contributions of la
belle France over the centuries. Bon appétit!
