  > I know French cuisine is famous, but eating anything tasty in Paris without being a local is one hell of challenge. I only ate once in a Paris restaurant and 10 minutes after sitting down I had the chef harassing me because the waitress couldn't understand my botched Italian when I tried to order a pizza. She couldn't understand my Italian because she only spoke French. But the whole menu was in Italian. I do not speak a word of Italian. So I just tried to read the words aloud with my best efforts. "Why are you doing that ? What if everyone started ordering things in Italian ?" was shouting the chef when he came back. I kid you not. Anyway, that was the worst, I don't remember bad culinary experiences but I tend to stick to stuff I know I will like. I am not french though :].
