Indomitable They wouldn't eat it. A grillade, yes, but it isn't the same. They don't understand the sweet/sour thing. Well, they do in Alsace. They want for food flavors to stay very pure and hate spicy food, too. There are some seasonal and regional exceptions. They will not eat hot corn. I've been a chef's assistant here in Paris. Around where I live in Saint-Denis, which speaks 80 languages a day, some will eat food in the Antilles way, but like once a year. I've been here 20 years. They also don't like heavy sauces. Lyon is famous for them but that is an exception. No, sweet and sour they do not like here. Alsace is over by Germany so there is a potential appreciation of sweet/savory mix. There are four sacred foods in France: bread, wine, meat and cheese. They don't even like cooked cheese -- yes, there are some dishes with cooked cheese but every lunch, every dinner ends with a cheese platter and fresh fruit -- they want a selection of cheese, unadulterated. They want it plain. There are exceptions for some recipes. I was a cook in the USA and my offerings over here from the US were flops -- they couldn't or wouldn't eat, say, a casserole. They detest chili con carne. Ethnics, who are not French, who are of different origins here, yeah they will eat different stuff. I was really surprised by the actual daily French diet and what they consider good! I do understand it, however. They like to buy organic, from farms, and there are, for example, master cheese inspectors. GMOs are illegal here. I know, it is maddening! No, no bbq here. There is a specialty chef in Paris you can hire to do it for you as a caterer for American bbq. I miss bbq, but there you go.
