One extremely "French" food that I love is boudin blanc. Boudin Blanc is a sausage made of ground pork meat (often including parts of the liver and heart), eggs, and milk. Yes, I know what you're thinking, "Are you crazy!?!" But trust me, c'est tres bien! I haven't had the nerve to try the rouge version b/c it is red for a reason. The red sausages contain blood... um... yeah...I can't handle blood.
I buy boudin blanc often at the market, which makes cooking for myself much easier seeing how I can buy as few or as many as I wish.
My friend Jenna visited for Thanksgiving and I made boudin blanc as her first meal in France (well, for this visit at least). She thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't think I ever told her it contains liver and heart meat... hmm... guess she'll find out soon enough. Hi Jenna. :)
I haven't taken a picture of boudin blanc, so I had to borrow one from saveurdujour.com. I normally saute mine with mushrooms!
