the germans and the americans beat them to that

eating fungus you find on the floor because you've been drinking too much red wine at lunchtime isn't clever

Fois gras? Again mashing up animals internals has been around forever - someone elses idea that they fiddled with

I'm looking for an original idea that the french invented.

Depends how picky you want to get but Perignon did NOT invent sparkling wine - he fiddled about with someone elses idea and made his name from it

If yo're going to be soooooo picky why do you really care what the French have done, you can pick holes in most things the Brits have done.

The reason all normal people walk on the left is because as most people are right-handed, if anyone on the road had a go at you suddenly, it was easier to draw your sword and defend yourself.
ask yourself this-were cars present at the french revolution? :lol:

maybe the carts were'handed' in terms of drivers?
once you have any kind of traffic, you have to have rules which side you are going to pass, otherwise you'd spill your turnips or get your donkeys tangled up; very nasty

if you have a column of Roman soldier marching, you have rules which side they pass - common sense

----------------------------

why am I having a go at the French? cos this thread is 'LHD RHD which is cooler'; the French invented LHD and they've got a lot to answer for, it's not cool, so I'm asking if they ever invented anything cool

the guillotine at last

it's a bit about laziness isn't it? So many upper class to kill and so little time, but a neat idea.

That's one.
