I shall give a full report back in a few weeks on the state of French cooking as I'm going on hols there for a fortnight.
Just better not put a 'London 2012' sticker in the back window of my car then.
Seriously though... You can usually get decent in food in France almost anywhere and its pretty reasonably priced and freshly cooked. Unlike a lot of places in the UK where food is straight out of a freezer and overpriced.
EDIT: as for Garlic and bloody steak... is there any other way to eat steak?
Asking for it to be well done? No wonder you'd get it served bloody as it's a total insult to serve it well done. May as well eat old boot leather

And to think I considered you a reasonable human being. Whip its horns off and wipe its arse- the only way to eat steak.
Well done *shudders* Would sir like it mildly crispy or should I just serve you a slice of carbon instead?

You missed my point, which is that you have to ask for it well done in France in order to get it medium, which is how i like it, as they have no idea how to cook it properly.
Last time i asked for a medium in France, it was still RAW in the middle!
Incidentally the wife and i went to a French restaurant over here about 2 years ago and she had lamb. The inability to cook steak obviously carried over to the lamb and it came pink in the middle.
Well, about 2am i awoke to the sound of her "driving the porcelain bus" in the bathroom, and she has since refused to consider eating French again!
