Greasy stuff... Check this out:

To be honest, I don't like goose liver. Don't like the taste and the process. But what the hey... I've never eaten truffles yet. The only local specialty I've eaten is something called "Pommes de terre Sarladaises" (tastes great but you have to like grease). I wasn't born here (I'm from a town called Grenoble) but I've been living here since 2001. Never went to a restaurant but a japanese one.
It's hard to eat french when you're a vegetarian, but I love ratatouille.
It's easier with Italian.
I don't mind fra gras but then it's certainly not worth force feeding the poor things to get the end result. I've had black truffles once or twice. I've had Beluga caviar a few times. All this exotic stuff is ok but frankly I would rather have some top notch sushi over it all. I think where the French really rule is pastries. Nobody can come close there.

Fried veggies are always good. I love egg plant. I grew some genovese squash this summer.
If you've never tasted grated carrots fritters, try this:

(edit: I don't put onions in it but it still kicks ass)
There's the old chef's joke about the key to cooking well is to find good ingredients and not to screw them up. That's the key. My favorite sushi bar is in Honolulu and we went in one day and the chef was just beaming saying he scored a very nice yellow fin tuna and we had rolls made from that. He nailed it. It was like eating the best prime rib you ever had with a touch of horse radish. The problem now is finding the fish. A retired sushi chef told me in the 1960's you could find any kind of fish you wanted and quality wasn't a problem. Now there is certain varieties of fish you just can't get. In reality is we are going to have to cut back on our fish consumption until the numbers come back. We simply have over fished the oceans. I worked on a Japanese fishing boat one summer and we were in the middle of nowhere in the Bering Straight and you could see a bunch of running lights from all the other fishing boats.
