The French have it right about one thing: eating lots of cheese

When it comes to out-and-out cheese production, the French have everybody else beat, hands down — a fact that gave rise to Charles De Gaulle's famous comment about the difficulty of governing a nation that has 246 kinds of cheese.

In France, they care about good food. And they take a long time to prepare and eat their dinners, because that's what families do there. They prepare. They eat. They talk. They eat some more. They talk some more. While we're watching Jay Leno, they're still eating. They take all nuit long to eat their dinner, in fact, which only makes sense because seriously! In America, however, most of us eat our dinners in 10 minutes or less. That is if we even eat dinner together. Ten minutes. That's it. Not much time for conversation when you're on a fast-track feeding schedule like that.
