and we're situated right across from the french market, the site of the old french market, which there was an active market here in the city from 1718 from its very earliest days. and so with the bounty of everything that was available in season, fresh, and local, using french and spanish traditional preparations, this indigenous, true indigenous cuisine developed, and that is creole cooking. the hallmark of creole cooking, first of all, we have to say, the no matter what it is we're cooking, it almost invariably starts off, first, you make a roux. and that is of course a combination of flour and oil. traditionally it's a french word, it was a french preparation originally, and in france it's butter and flour, but here in new orleans, butter would burn before the roux gets to the dark color that we like it to be. once you've got that dark roux, the other thing that goes into everything is celery, bell pepper, and onions. that is actually what i like to refer to as the creole mir poi because of course the traditional french was onions, celery, and carrots. when those first french people

post way back in the welder witness a french officer who greets george and you know very -- formal french officer who has a lot of training remembered george 21-year-old -- and george says i have -- a message from governor and french officer says -- oh you have the wrong guy. you need to show it to my commander he's a weeks ride that way. and so off george and christopher go through swamps on and on. they get to larger fort into the main head french -- and he's a very distinguished elderly gentleman a real formal professional soldier with great experience. of course he's only in his george calls him elderly in early 50s and standard of age in those days and french receives george for formally and very graciously with -- formal dinner and with french wine and imported from france and finest meats and you know candle light and it was very gracious time and he reads the letter -- and over the course of the next couple of days he writes a response. so george takes that letter and immediately sets out as quickly to get it back to ho is told him to travel with all possible haste. and so he gift

accepted as french? >> of course. he's right. he said we are all french, we are all together. there is no color. but on the reality, we can take for example of what trevor said on tv. he said something very nice. he said that unfortunately when you do something good, you can be seen as a french here in france. when you do something bad, you are from the origin, you are like african. unfortunately, that's a reality in france. so i can understand what he said. >> nabil, you know he said the same thing, when i win, i am german and when i lose i am an immigrant. i would like to play for you what trevor said on his program, and then we'll talk about it. >> yes! yes, i'm so excited. africa won the world cup! africa won the world cup! africa won the world cup! [ applause ] i get it, i get it. they have to say it is the french team but look at those guys, huh? look at those guys. you don't get that tan by hanging out in the south of france, my friends. >> what did you feel when he said that because you know your

it is not just the french team. lot of teams who were supposed to be the most beautiful team on the pitch did not win. we saw spain with their possession, with their passing against russia, they probably were the better team. they were more beautiful to watch than the russian team. the russians won that game. in this final, may the french were not the best. they took their chances and that is what you have to do and especially in a final of a world cup. seeing six goals in a final is exciting. people who criticize france's goals innce scored 4 that final, are asking too much. it was a great final, after all. , that odd at the end thunderstorm, the french president and croatian president standing there in the pouring rain, hugging all of their players and those scenes of the french players jumping into the puddles of that stadium to celebrate this title, the second and a sensears on of cohesion, a group born in russia here. there is one glaring difference from 20 years ago that struck me is the fact that when you thi

one french politician will say the biggest threat to french security is fornication. we need more of it. [laughter] and the population of france actually does not return to its pre-1914 rate until the 1960's because of that bubble. it gets so bad that when the war ends, the french are actively trying to convince the american soldiers to stay. stay, meet fifi, settle down and have a good life. and some of the soldiers do it. and some of the totalitarian regimes that will rise, be it mussolini, the japanese, be it hitler's germany or stalin's russia will all push for, you know, go forth and multiply, be fruitful because they see that as a critical wartime necessity. democracies, not so much. what they will do for the french, for example, will have a big influence on world war ii. going into world war i, the french soldier was conscripted for three years. so they could match the relative number of the germans. after the war, we need those french guys to be meeting fifi. in 1930, they lower the amount of time the soldiers spend in the ranks from three years to one year. a

the french army was evaporating. company and 49th the marines from the fifth and sixth regiment as well of the second division were all being trucked as quickly as possible along with a third division of the u.s. army into the vortex of battle to hold the line at all costs. these were some of the only reserve units of the time and they were, in many cases, super divisions. the u.s. divisions were about twice the size of the french division and sometimes even more -- much larger than a german division. they were quickly rushed to the front and as they were in their trucks, they sought french civilians passing them by as well as members of the french army. some throwing down their weapons saying that the war is over. and iten push forward was here that lloyd williams from 25, the men set up behind the french army. and a decision was made by colonel preston brown, the chief of staff of the second division. the french wanted to immediately commit, thrust them into the line. and he insisted that they be able to dig in the

marshall recalls the result was reassuring to the higher french officials. the french were so pleased the prime minister once again visited the first division headquarters. this time his reason for visiting was to award 20 oh soldiers who fought well. the allies were sent scrambling. they were the only american division to complete training. after the decision had received its orders they went through final training exercises. general percy visited the division to view the exercises. the way that general percy conducted himself made a great impression on marshall. marshall reflected. surrendering the direct control of his troops, which he has invidiously maintained in the face of repeated endeavors, to repeat the formation of an american army, he released them to be scattered over 400 miles up front, temporarily jeopardizing his own, and even american prestige, he laid all his cards on the table. marshall also took note on praise his demeanor, despite the circumstances he faced, saying in the midst of profound depression, irradiated determination and the wil
