Many people show dissatisfaction. Do you mean that God loves the French so much that they are not only thin, but also can't get heart disease? Let's look at three meals a day in French families. Love saturated fat for every meal. Why are the French still so thin?
1 Breakfast When it comes to French breakfast, the first thing you think of may be French croissants. This crispy bread made of salt-free butter is crispy outside and tender inside, which is really one of the signs of French breakfast. However, croissants actually became popular in the middle and late 20th century and gradually became a favorite breakfast for French people.
Interestingly, before the French Revolution, the French people actually didn't eat breakfast or ate very little. Generally speaking, they only eat two meals: the first meal is between 10 and 12 in the morning; The second meal is from 17 to 18 in the evening. Breakfast (petit-déjeuner) is a proper term created in the 20th century, which literally means "small lunch" and is a snack before lunch.
It was not until the last century, with the warnings of doctors and genealogy, that breakfast gradually attracted everyone's attention, and the French had the habit of eating breakfast for all. In rural areas, ordinary people have soup and scones for breakfast. If they give birth at home, they can also eat extra meat products, such as smoked sausages or sausages. In cities, people buy snacks from baking shops or eat baked cakes coated with salt-free butter applesauce. When French people have breakfast, they usually drink coffee or hot chocolate. Many people habitually soak the baked cake in freshly ground coffee or tea before eating it.
At present, breakfast in French families must be dairy products (raw eggs, milk, cheese or yogurt), fresh fruits (juice or fresh fruits, applesauce) and wheat products (oatmeal or whole wheat toast). This is a nutritious breakfast.
French breakfast includes not only baguettes and croissants, but also many kinds of sweet breads, including red raisins and peaches. In short, it can make you picky about food and delicious. Some people eat (bake) baguettes or toast at home with unsalted butter, applesauce, pure honey or chocolate; The drink is a cup of coffee, tea, hot milk chocolate or fruit juice;
Eat breakfast outside. The French want to go to a cafe, where there are generally smoked sausage slices, sausages, beef and mutton, salmon, raw eggs and fruit salad, and the choices are also rich. If you travel in France, you can also enjoy breakfast with regional characteristics in different regions. I once tasted a sweet bread with sweet almonds and whipped cream in the south of France. Salted bread with sausage and smoked sausage; Blueberry dry sauce cake bag and strawberry tower in the snowy mountain area.
2. Lunch French cuisine generally includes these levels: toast, snacks, cold drinks, cooked vegetables, meat products, as well as cheese and water wine. These are the indispensable concrete contents of French cuisine, among which red wine, toast and cheese are the proudest. French people habitually use western restaurants, romantic French dishes and romantic French meals, and there are many small details worth savoring.
The French are very particular about lunch. If they eat in a reliable position, not only the process of cooking, but also the process of serving food are very particular, so it usually takes a long time to eat a more formal lunch. What do they eat at home for lunch? They usually eat a little fruit salad or cold cuts before meals, and then eat some meat products such as beef, beef and mutton, fish and steak as dinner. After eating this, the French will have dessert as a supplement after dinner.
In France, it is very fashionable to cook mussels with authentic dry white wine. It is a stew cooking method, which uses wine as the basis of juice and adds red onion, unsalted butter, parsley and other thyme seasonings. If you like it as an appetizer, it is usually accompanied by soft European bread. If it is a dinner, it is usually accompanied by French fries. You can find mussels with French fries everywhere in France.
Black pig blood sausage is one of the favorite foods of French people. Does it sound a bit timid to say that foreigners should not eat blood and internal organs? In fact, several kinds of pig blood sausage are very famous in France, and they are all one of the favorite specialties of the French. The taste of pig blood sausage is good, and the delicious juice completely masks the fishy smell. French pig blood sausage and baked apple are common collocations. Baked apples can be combined with vegetable oil in pig blood intestines to make the whole dish more and more balanced.
Duck breast is the most popular food for lunch. When it comes to domestic ducks, especially the tender duck breasts that often appear on the dining table, most wine waiters in French restaurants immediately think of bringing the astringent and rough Madurand red wine produced in southwest France to accompany their meals. However, in France, there are many kinds of delicacies made from goose or duck viscera, and their practices and tastes are quite different.
Speaking of French food, I have to mention French foie gras. Indeed, nothing is more unusual and shocking than frying French foie gras. Anyone who has tasted French foie gras will be deeply impressed by its smooth taste and soft layering like cotton wool. But Cui cooked French foie gras fat and hard, so let's weigh it. Do we want to protect wild animals or do we want to feel according to our own taste?
3. French cuisine for dinner has the characteristics of universal selection of materials, fresh materials, elegant dishes and a wide variety. Vegetables are generally raw and have the habit of eating lettuce. In seasoning, we pay attention to wine, what raw materials are used and what wine is used. When having dinner, the French usually have dinner at eight in the evening. The pace of life in France is relatively slow. After a day's work, the French usually go to an emotional cafe to have a rest and then go home for dinner.
We often have steak tartar for dinner. Speaking of Tatars, we will think of the northern nomadic people who ate meat and drank wine in ancient China. The transliteration of Tatar is Tatar. Tartar steaks are all made from raw high-end steaks. The original beef and mutton are fresh and tender, and the delicious raw yolk is really unforgettable. This is definitely a different kind of food.
Sausages and pickles are often eaten by the French for dinner. This dish is a traditional dish in Alsace. Geographically, Alsace is close to France, and this dish is more like a large number of German dishes. Sausages and ribs are served with potatoes and delicious pickles, so that carnivores can do it completely.
Stewed chicken with red wine is also a very famous French feast, usually cooked by roosters. It is very attractive with red wine, bacon and unsalted butter. The smell of wine, coupled with the rich chicken breast, is extremely delicious. Fromage is another famous specialty. The locals eat bread dipped in cheese. In winter in Alps, it is very comfortable to eat toast around hot pot cheese.
A delicious French dinner will inevitably be accompanied by crayfish juice and white-spotted pike sausage. Traditionally, this kind of sausage is made of white-spotted salmon into smooth fish paste, soaked in cream and protein, fermented for a long time, scraped off with a double iron spoon and cooked in football. It sounds a bit like the first shrimp ball in China, but it tastes softer and fluffy. Pouring lobster sauce on fish intestines will make the whole dish more delicious in an instant.
Some traditional French dishes, such as French foie gras and black caviar, have their own characteristics in both the production process and the final decoration. For us, we only care about the quality of ingredients, while for the French, they are more concerned about how to use food and how to make it more nutritious.
