Then, Marie continues to utter a list of delicious French foods with a flawless accent! Her parents suspect something might be wrong with their culinary-obsessed little girl. Shes only happy when shouting about food, but, as her grandfather observes, at least Marie seems to have excellent taste. The parents finally break down and consult a doctor about their daughters unusual vocabulary.

After the examination, though, he finds theres nothing wrong with Marie. What does he suggest to remedy her food fixation?
