Franco-American culture

Sheeesh! I think we're getting Jerry Lewis - saw an ad in the paper yesterday for some appearance.....

In answer to your question kacie, I can't think of any.

I think its Zagat that rated English food as the best in the continent. France is dead as far as culture goes. Has anyone read "Au Revoir to All That", by Fella named Steinberger? Hes taken some serious shots at the deflating of France.

Another prejudice we don't care about.

Conveying such deja-vu denotes feeble understanding of what France really is.

Looks like Solve&Coagule predictions, completely inane..

Read Steinbergers work and tell me why you disagree. I can understand "be true to your school" but reality intervenes when your fooball team cant get out of its own locker room.

Solve et coagula was a good ole dude, You shouldnt make fun of the dead.

Like if you are qualified to talk about football.

Do you call your own football a sport, all those armored sissies?

In Maine, and by the way this is a hypothetical question for a French project.

Almost all the french groups around here celebrate St. Jean de Baptiste day, Bastille Day and 'cabanes à sucre' - festivals for maple sugar. If you google these you may get some more ideas.
There is still a bit of land owned by the French on the east coast. St. Pierre et Miquelon are two small islands, in between NFLD and Nova Scotia. The first french settlers came to NS 400 years ago.
They are known as the Acadiens or as Cajuns down in the Bayou. There is also the Quebecois and the Metis. Each of these groups have interesting cultural customs, music and food.
Here are a couple of songs, fairly typical of traditional French Canadian music. It sounds kinda Irish, you can hear the step dancing as a beat. There might even be a couple of spoons in the mix.
The Bottine Souriante.

This is some French/Creole music from Louisiana, it quite different but you can hear the same roots.
