Hi Cheryl,
Is this something like what you were looking for? I would assume that it's "francais" instead of "francaise" because the word for "chicken" in French, "poulet", is masculine and not feminine ... just a thought!
Anyway, hope this is what you wanted. I got it from www.soar.berkeley.edu (http://www.soar.berkeley.edu) and I'm sorry for the formatting.
