I tried cherries at first but it wasn't accepted, only cherry. The only reason I got it correct was because of the color, cerise. I was trying to think of every food that is red.

You should change "frites" to "pommes frites". "Frites" on its own just means fried. And you should also add French fries as an acceptable answer.

It is not pâté : you can make pâté with liver (and with a lot of other things too), but liver is the organ, foie, and only foie. You've got a liver, you are not made of pâté !

There is no need to learn culinary French. If you are in a restaurant in France everything on the menu will be delicious by definition. All you have to do is to point at random and wait for a fantastic meal. Neantmoins, j'ai recu 24 sur 24 :)

It's also not really true, of course; many would consider andouillete noisome, or even escargots or rognons d'agneau or steak haché depending on what you're used to, and these are common items. I've eaten cheval and pigeon, too, and they were delicious but you probably don't want to be surprised to get it.
