I think we have some Quebeckians... they are pretty Frenchesque.

Welcome guys and or gals!

Hi in there,
I discovered Malazan a bit over a year ago after reading recommandations on Westeros, and joined here some time ago, but never posted yet. But well, there is a starting point for everything .
So what to say... I'm 29, and I live close to Paris (yeah, I'm also French). I'm also a mafia addict on Westeros (for those who may know me from there) even if I don't have time to play at the moment.

Hi everyone!
I've just entered in the malazan world!
I'm 27, and I read every book that come under my finger . I came across Malazan world by curiosity, and "wizz" i'm addicted to it .
I live in France ( Paris more precisely), so like I said in my sign': Please forgive me for any misspelling(s) or error(s) in my message!

Hey Geoffray, I think I've already met you somewhere That's quite funny.

[Geoffray]

Indeed . "The world is small" like the saying says.

[HoosierDaddy]

THE FRENCH ARE TAKING OVER!!!!!!

Welcome Dunhallym!

[Sir Thursday]

Wasn't there a French poster a while back called Lily? (Or maybe she was French Canadian...can't remember)

Anyway, welcome Dunhallym and Geoffray!

[Obdigore]

We have had a couple of French-ittes over the years...

Do french people really eat snails or is that an urban myth?

Welcome!

Tell me, are you a fan of delicious flavor? Because your name implies it. Or does it imply that you are delicious?
Human... the other, other white meat? I hope that isn't what we're going for, I don't actually eat meat mysel, but I do eat teddygrahams...

Yes that's true, and it's really good by the way.
Try it if you can (Yes You Can! ).
Of course we don't eat it everuday, it's more for special occasion ( such as, christmas or new year eve).

It's no urban myth, but as Geoffray said it's not that common (and I personally don't like it). BTW, I'm not sure France is the place where people eat the more snails. When I went to Sevilla in Spain, they had a big specialty of snails.
A similar thing could be said of frogs. Yes, we do eat them, but that's quite rare (more so than snails, I've tried once in my life). And we don't have the exclusivity either

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

Frog legs are good. Never had snails, but would try it if pushed. Welcome new people.

Welcome.. I'm pretty sure we've played a game or two at some time - I've got you on AIM and that's usually for mafia people
Nice to see you taking a look around.

Hi to all new people

[TeddyGraham]

"Hey French forum members, welcome to a place where national stereotypes do not exist. Come on in for some roast beef and chips!"

I saw Rick Stein on tv eating teeny weeny snails with a toothpick in Spain, if that helps. They looked nicer than the thought of the normal sized snails that look chewy.

It's no big deal you know. It could be worse... False national stereotypes ( for example):
- We do not wear a "beret"
- Not everyone wear a "baguette (french bread) under is arm
- etc

That kind of thing you know

[Aptorian]

But you do have terrible body odor right? And you smoke a lot of cigarettes and everyone loves Jerry Lewis... TELL ME I'M NOT WRONG!

Snails are delicious by the way. I bet I could eat a 100 snails.
