Draw a line, then we can clearly see why French food can be the first in western food. Not to mention Chinese food, even Japanese food famous for its delicious taste and Mexican food famous for its rich flavor are excluded. So only French food, English food, Italian food, russian cuisine food, American food and Mediterranean food can compete with French food. Needless to say, English food has been widely circulated on the Internet. Russian cuisine, from the beginning, was actually learned from France.
In addition to Britain and Russia, there is also a strong opponent, that is Italy. Although Italian food is known as the ancestor of western food, it may be because the national influence is not enough. In a word, the title of western food first has not fallen to Italy. Needless to say, American food is originally evolved from British food, and it is also famous for its convenience, quickness and high calorie. Naturally, it cannot be the representative of western food. German food can't be combined with French food because Germans don't pay much attention to eating. As for Mediterranean cuisine, it is also impossible.
As a result, French cuisine, which is famous for its complicated procedures but exquisite dishes, has naturally become the first of western food. In addition, because eating a French meal requires too much etiquette, it has become a status symbol over time. If someone can eat French food, it means that his position is unusual. With this as a blessing, it is not surprising that French cuisine has become the first western food.
