Yes French is possibly the most difficult of all.
Some items are fantastic and completely free from sweetness of any sort other meals claiming to be the same at another restaurant can be inedible because of perhaps that chef using Leaks in the sauce for example.
I have been frequently to France but when there I prefer to buy food from a supermarket to be safe.
If you are ordering a salad then ask for no dressing! they always put sugar int he dressing and you cannot detect it mixed in with the oil whcih masks the taste.
They will usually provide oil and vinegar to put on yourself if you ask them not to put the dressing on first.
The vinegar is usually a wine or Balsamic vinegar which is NOT GOOD! Avoid.
