Having spent the previous year in France, I encountered many less-than-appetizing looking dishes. One that particularly stuck out in my memory was a salad, but not just any salad. This was an exploded pigeon-gut salad. As I reached for my fork, 1 surveyed my platter with disgust. How could anybody eat this? As I scanned the room, however, I noticed everyone was happily tucking in to their delicious pigeongut salad. I cringed. France is famous for many things, and it is those things that entice us to visit and experience this explosion of culture. When asked what three things she associated with France, freshman Brooklyn Venturella responded with the Eiffel Tower, wine and - you guessed it *- food. But is this famed nourishment really as good as we all claim it to be, especially when half the delicacies are things most Americans would turn up their noses at? Such things as foie gras (duck or goose liver) and frog legs are on menus in most refined restaurants. Half n e v e r VOted for President. One hopes it is the same half. -GoreVidal The International Center sponsors a New York Times Global Review every Thursday from 12:00 to 1:00 PM in WB 147.
