same in France. galettes mixed with raclettes, sure some local somewhere in France has that on its menu often enough, but then I miss the point of this website, because those are neither your typical home dishes nor something usual that people eat weekly nor something that you'd get outside restaurants.

so it's pretty much 'local food tourist should try' - or precisely the opposite of what the sites seems to claims to be about.

As a french, I may order, at a restaurant, most of the plates listed here and I may eat at home one of those once a month.

As said previously, Foie Gras and Oysters are not everyday plates and some others are missing, but still I think it's pretty good. So I think it's more "what local orders at restaurant" and not what they usually eat at home.

Not sure about this. We (my family and some friends) eat galettes and raclette on a regular basis. Maybe not weekly, but at least monthly (no raclette in summer though).

I found the list pretty accurate for France, actually. Admittedly, I didn't put too much thought on this but that list seemed legit to me.

Foie Gras and Oysters are not really eaten everyday, they are celebration meal. Traditional french gastronomy should include at least Cassoulet and Choucroute !!!
