French children are raised to keep their hands on the table, and elbows on the table are considered impolite. G is for grenouilles - considered a mainstay of French culture by 'les Anglos' in fact frogs legs are not a common sight on French menus at all. Several of Paris' traditional bouillon restaurants do not take reservations, but in our opinion are worth the wait for very traditional French cuisine that's also extremely reasonably priced. Don't hurl it back, in France wine is something to be sipped, tasted and enjoyed. (OK, we admit it, we were struggling to think of a French dish that begins with a Z).
