You must be mad. Even a salad and half a loaf of bread with butter is exquisite in France, and better than the best meal in the U.S. Their ingredients are so much better, and add to that their cuilinary sensibility.
I knew my comment about not liking French food would not be popular but that is my taste.
My wife, who was born and raised in England, agrees with you. And she is not fond of France overall, but she did say they had excellent food.
