And it is, only this one features ethnic-Arab actors in a commercial for halal food in France. A first in its own right, the ad is already a remarkable sight on French TV.

For many Americans, food is sinful: it’s an escape...
...dominated by Spanish wines but includes pacharán - the Navarrese sloe gin that lends the restaurant its name. Then order some classic tapas - nutty Iberian ham, spiced shrimp and oil-drenched salads (skip the uninspired tomato bread) - to tide you over the 30-minute wait for seafood paella.
