Today, I am reading Wang Zengqi's "Food in My Hometown", which is very delicate, as if the food is in front of me, and there is still a trace of homesickness.
So I naturally thought, what shall we eat when studying in France? When I first arrived in France, my friends at home always asked with special concern, "Are you used to eating in France?"
"What do you usually eat?" "Do you cook by yourself or eat out?" Today, with this homesickness, I will talk about the taste of all kinds of delicious food when studying in France!
The first thing I want to say is the baguette. Some people say that the stick is very hard, really hard, but the stick is also very fragrant and chewy, especially the freshly baked stick, whose fragrance can be described as three feet around the beam.
French sandwiches are also very interesting. They are often sandwiched in baguettes instead of our common sliced bread. This may be similar to subway, but it is more chewy.
A baguette or a baguette sandwich was not used to it at first, but one day I got used to it, and it seems that I can't live without it. I haven't eaten for a long time, and my teeth feel a little lonely.
Secondly, what I want to say is dessert. This kind looks a bit big, but the French dessert is really irresistible. At this time, all kinds of cakes, yogurt, ice cream and the famous French almond cakes come to mind.
There are many kinds of yogurt in France, and there are also many puddings and purees, which can be bought in daily supermarkets, which is very convenient.
I remember a friend once found a delicious dessert. In her words, "It's so delicious and so cheap that you can buy it in the supermarket. It' s really terrible! " Therefore, the habit of eating desserts is gradually developed, and it is always necessary to eat something sweet after meals to solve the problem.
Let's talk about alcohol again France is a big wine country, with everything from red wine to white wine and champagne. You can buy wine everywhere. French wine is cheap and fine, and naturally becomes a necessity for daily catering.
Drinking is for fun, but for enjoyment. There is no need to compete for each other's capacity for alcohol. Of course, that may be another kind of fun. When the water level of the Seine River is low, there are always many young people chatting and drinking on both sides of the river, which is very pleasant.
On New Year's Eve, when celebrating, the French always open a bottle of champagne. The vibrant bubbles of champagne also make people look forward to a new life. About wine, I also want to say something about cognac.
Cognac is also a feature of France, but it is not as popular as champagne. Cognac is rich and full of aftertaste, which is suitable for digestion after meals and for talking with friends.
Since we are talking about drinks, let's talk about coffee. Coffee can be drunk anywhere, but the French like small espresso and always like to have a cup after dinner. Over time, do as the Romans do.
Of course, some things are unacceptable in any case, which is also common. The waiter in the restaurant will also acquiesce that you ordered espresso. New arrivals always have many misunderstandings and just shake their heads at the bitter coffee.
When it comes to vegetables, especially green vegetables, I always feel that there are fewer varieties, probably because I don't know the local vegetables in France.
Come to think of it, the ones who eat more on weekdays are probably broccoli, spinach, celery, arugula and lettuce. I miss the vegetables in Shanghai very much.
Northerners call all green vegetables "green vegetables", while Shanghai's green vegetables are called "Shanghai Green" by northerners, which can be bought in supermarkets in China and are expensive. It only takes three or four euros to fry a dish.
As for shepherd's purse and grass head, I can only think about it. Arugula tastes a bit like shepherd's purse, so I can only hope that plums can quench my thirst.
When it comes to French fruits, I always think of grapes, cherries, strawberries and mulberries.
These prices are very reasonable in France. Sometimes I catch up with the market and fill a whole glass of cherries with disposable cups, one is only two euros, and the juice is full. After eating a few mouthfuls, I felt that my whole mouth was moist.
As a big wine country, grapes are naturally abundant, and the most enjoyable way to eat them may be to pick fruits in the vineyard and send them directly to the mouth.
Let's talk about some of my favorite foods, such as small wonton and steamed buns. It's hard to eat authentic food in France, especially small wonton.
I have been to Chinese restaurants several times, and the small wonton served is always far from the appearance of my hometown. The skin is drooping and the taste is even more hopeless.
Every time I return to China, I always eat wonton for the first meal, and I often eat two bowls before I come to my senses.
As a southerner, when I came to France, I tasted authentic jiaozi.
Maybe jiaozi's market in China is too big. Many students in the north began to roll the skin with flour and then mix the stuffing themselves. The stuffing is full of meat, and there are many ways to wrap it. Chinese food is really great!
For the convenience of studying in France, I'm afraid noodles are the most eaten, and spaghetti is one of them.
At first, I often went to the supermarket to buy Chinese noodles, but later I became more and more lazy and found spaghetti acceptable.
Spaghetti can be found everywhere, with low price and various methods. Sometimes we use this western-style noodle to make a Chinese way.
Later, I saw egg yolk noodles in French supermarkets, which were also very good, soft and had the taste of my hometown.
When learning French, a teacher said that he ate spaghetti for a month when he was poorest in Paris, which was incredible at that time.
But then, I actually broke the record. On the one hand, I am really not rich; on the other hand, I am lazy. Noodles are so convenient.
Finally, talk about a sacred object:
Laoganma! Laodopted mother has always been very prosperous, but before she came to France, I really didn't know it had become popular internationally. Probably, there are so many people who eat spicy food in China that a bottle of Laoganma makes them homesick. I also think that when I am extremely lazy, I always mix spaghetti with Laoganma to make a meal. It's a masterpiece
When going abroad, family members are always worried about eating badly. In fact, on the day of studying abroad, cooking by yourself or eating with friends is extremely enjoyable.
China's favorite meal may be hot pot, which is convenient and warm. In any festival, a group of people always feel warm when they get together.
The food in my hometown always raises warm homesickness in my heart. The life of studying abroad occasionally moistens, but it is still a long way from the French cuisine that people fantasize about. However, there is also some romance in the ordinary, great!
