Nice job getting identifiable photos! Should accept 'omelet' without the 'te' and 'crepes' without the circumflex.

Fantastic! I'd love to see a similar quiz based on another cuisine, e.g. Italian or Japanese.

^Thanks!@thedpr: added. @Aaron_Kashtan: you'll be glad to hear I'm planning to do a whole series of these, so yes, there will be quizzes for other countries' cuisines.

Excellent quiz and I can't wait to play the whole series! You have some great pictures for each clue. That being said, the first picture in the first rwo looks distinctly cheesy to me. I was certain it was potatoes au gratin, which is a French dish. Also, the fourth picture in the first row is also known as a Napoleon, so please accept that as well.

Great quiz. As some of the answers accepted English versions, I think it might be good to also allow "beef burgundy" for "boeuf bourguignon."

Good stuff. How about "chocolatine" for the pain au chocolat? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolatine

I thought the mousse was a souffle. Oh well. They're both amazingly delicious and fattening. It's so much fun to make that design on the Napoleon with a toothpick.

croquembouche can also be "croque-en-bouche". Please accept that.

this was really good and challenging - the only picture I really couldn't work out was the chocolate mousse, to me it looks like some sort of bun.... Looking forward to hte other versions :-)

I spent a minute thinking what sponge cake with chocolate cream is called in French, then gave up and realized it was pâté all along. I'm so stupid. :D

I had a hard time with Ratatouille and croque monsieur, and also resorted to beef stew. I never could spell french words.

Bouillabaisse was the one I couldn't spell. Also tried many variations of duck à l'orange for what turned out to be coq au vin. And I couldn't get over the fact that the pain au chocolat looks like it is extruding a small poo.

Yeah, great quiz. Of course now I'm hungry. There's an egg dish that looked like pasta to me for some reason... couldn't figure out what on earth it was. d'oh!

Nice work on this one! I may not be a cheese expert, but I do eat a lot of camembert, which looks an awful lot like brie. Could it be an accepted answer as well?

Did anyone else get croquembouche because they watched "The Weekenders" as a kid? I was also impressed that I got roquefort and ratatouille from two different rodents made by Disney/Pixar.

Found this a bit confusing in that some french forms of the dishes were't accepted e.g. Pot au feu as the beef stew when Cassoulet was accepted. Great quiz though :)

I thought Tarte Flambée here, which is an Alsatian thin bread pizza where cream cheese is basically substituted (and accompanied by onions) for cheese. It was disgusting, and I was hoping that that terrible experience would at least pay off on Sporcle.

@irishailish: cassoulet is the duck, sausage and bean dish, not the beef stew (which is bouef bourguignon). As pot au feu is a type of beef stew I would add it in as an alternative to the bourguignon, but now the quiz has been published I can't edit it.

Thank you for accepting my terrible English interpretations of French names! This became a game less of trying to guess the correct name and more one of finding out what its actual name is after typing Steak and Chips, French Bread and Custard Slice (which I knew was wrong since the French don't have custard, only creme anglaise, which is not quite the same thing). Fun quiz!

Tried steak tartare, pommes frites, chateaubriand, tournedos... And this for a vegetarian ;) Over here we call mille-feuille tompouce, and I thought the croquembouche to be a Saint Honore cake, or, indeed, profiteroles.

Very tasty, I'm hungry now. I also tried tompouce for the mille-feuille, but apparently that's a term only used in Belgium and the Netherlands.

down on Steak frites...I did try "french fries", then pommes frites (which after seeing the answer should have worked), then I assumed it was something else so I tried au jus (which is shown) then reached for filet mignon..... when nothing worked, I quit -- then see "STEAK" boooo... OK -- it was still fun
