Ok, I'll keep this party going with one of my all-time favorite French dishes that I love to cook whenever I can get my hands on its particular ingredients: A poulet de Bresse (chicken from Bresse) with morel mushrooms and a Vin Jaune cream sauce. An absolutely divine dish!
There was a moment during one of the many cooking scenes in The Taste of Things when you spotted a chicken with blue feet and you screamed "Poulet de Bresse!" :-)
My favorite French dish would have to be Gratin Dauphinois, especially Ryan Wildstar's delicious version (he uses Escoffier's recipe, which includes cheese). It's probably the French dish I crave most often, and Ryan has made a version using local ingredients in virtually every place we've ever lived. I love it!
I watched the Mapp and Lucia series many years ago (was it on PBS?) and it was hilarious. Time for a re-watch. Also came across one of the books in a used bookstore and it was equally entertaining.
A favorite French food is a French crepe--preferably eaten in Paris!
Ditto! Not pedestrian at all! Nothing soothes me like some French onion soup at a bistro or a piping hot plate of escargot smothered in garlic butter. Miam miam miam!

Here's a decent recipe (just substitute the crème fraîche with heavy cream) - https://www.saveur.com/story/recipes/creamy-braised-chicken-with-jura-wine-and-morels/

Just watching the clips from Mapp and Lucia again, we were reminded of how brilliant the series was. And crêpes in Paris - most definitely!!!
Yes, in the U.S. I think Mapp and Lucia originally aired on PBS. Such a fun show.
And as for French crepes! Great choice! Another favorite.
Whenever I am in France, I need to eat escargots and French onion soup. Sorry, so pedestrian.

Two of my favorites as well!
