	It's "apéritif," not "apêritif." And the accent goes the other way in "à la carte."

	Well done for including accents – no nonsense about them 'not working on Sporcle' here, I'm pleased to see. However, you've mixed up a few of them: 'pâtè' should be 'pâté', 'á la carte' should be 'à la carte', and 'apêritif' should be 'apéritif' (the way it appears in the answers). Good quiz though! :)

	Yes to both of those, and pâté is wrong too. If you're going to use accents - unnecessary on capital letters anyway - make them right, please. I wasted too much time trying to figure out the spurious fitpairê with the ê in a orthographically possible place, which -pêri- is not.

	Thanks to Fred Sanford, I call Hors D'oeuvres Horse Divers. They go great with a bottle of Ripple.

	Harry: "What's the soupe du jour?" Flo: "It's the soup of the day." Harry: "Mmmm, that sounds good, I'll have that."

	My brother and I always called Hors D'oeuvres "horse divorce" growing up.

	Food, glorious food.

	Atala: we called them "horse's doovers" here. Great quiz citkeane, I'm a little surprised that so many of our food names come from the French. Could have had frappe too, I guess.

	i spent easily an entire minute getting the vowels in the right order to spell...um...that fancy word for 'appetizers.'

	I took a lot of French in HS and college, and still struggled to get the spelling of "bouillon". Fun quiz.
