French Dressing

My husband and I are going to france in June and I just had a thought. I really dislike french dressing. Do they serve any other types or is it like Italy where all you can get on your salad is Italian dressing. Thanks!!!

Honey, in France, French dressing is Chanel, Gaultier, Dior, Vuitton. It is not something we put on a salad. Jane, you aren't really that dumb, are you? Please tell moi that you are just making a joke. Right?

That bizarre fluorescent Orange stuff is not French dressing anywhere else in the world but america. and I've certainly never seen anything like it in France. Indeed, there is no "sauce francaise" in france, but in any many other parts of the world, French dressing IS understood to mean vinaigrette - - which can taste so, SO many different ways depending on what goes into it. Garlicky or no? with lots of mustard or not? what herbs? what vinegar? what oil? It may be moot, you don't often see what you might think of as a "mixed green salad" or "tossed salad" in France (or other parts of Europe either). Bottom line, you will be offered a very good selection of "les sauces" to put on salds that don't already come served with one. Best wishes, Oh, and one more thing - - yes, I realize that this is a clever, reasonably subtle troll. Cleverer and subtler than the burned ex-husband. But the answer still fits, in my own pedantic sort of way.

Where are those Thousand Islands anyway? Aren't they in the St. Lawrence seaway or some place like that? and what do they have to have with that gloppy stuff?
