According to a large-scale study published in the medical journal The Lancet, French people are not only thin, but also have an unexpected objective fact: the prevalence rate of heart disease in French people is extremely low. In recent decades, the whole world has strongly recommended a low-fat diet, while the French eat a lot of saturated fat. Why are they fat and have a low incidence of heart disease?
Many people have expressed their dissatisfaction. Do you mean that God loves the French so that they are not only thin, but also can't suffer from heart disease? Let's take a look at the French family's three meals a day. Every meal loves saturated fat. Why are the French still so thin? 1. Breakfast
When it comes to French breakfast, you may think of French style croissants at first. This kind of crispy bread made of salt-free butter is crispy outside and soft inside, crispy and delicious, which is indeed one of the symbols of French breakfast. However, croissants actually became popular in the middle and late 2th 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 between 1 am and 12 am; The second meal is between 17: and 18: at night. Breakfast (petit-déjeuner) is a proper term created in the 2th century, which literally means "small lunch" and is a snack before lunch.
It wasn't until the 2th century, with the warning and genealogy of doctors, that breakfast gradually attracted great attention, and the French people had the habit of eating breakfast for all. In the countryside, ordinary people have soup and baked cakes for breakfast. If they have labor at home, they can also eat additional meat products such as smoked sausages or sausages. In cities, people buy all kinds of snacks from baking shops or eat baked cakes with unsalted butter applesauce. When French people have breakfast, they usually drink coffee or hot chocolate. Many people habitually dip baked cakes in freshly ground coffee or tea before taking them.
At present, French families must have a meal of dairy products (raw eggs, milk, cheese or sour milk), a meal of fresh fruit (fruit juice or fresh fruit, applesauce) and wheat products (oatmeal or whole wheat toast) for breakfast. This is a nutritious breakfast.
French-style breakfast is not only baguettes and croissants, but also many kinds of sweet breads, with red raisins and peaches. In short, it can make you picky and delicious. Some people eat (bake) baguette or toast at home, with unsalted butter, applesauce, pure honey or chocolate; The drink is a cup of coffee, tea, hot milk chocolate or juice;
breakfast is eaten out. French people want to go to cafes, where smoked sausage slices, sausages, beef and mutton, salmon, raw eggs and fruit salad are generally served, and the selection is relatively rich. If you travel in France, you can also enjoy breakfast with regional characteristics in different areas. I once tasted a sweet bread containing sweet almonds and whipped cream in the south of France. Salted bread with sausage and smoked sausage; Blueberry dry sauce pastry bag and strawberry tower in Daxueshan area. 2. Lunch
French cuisine generally includes these aspects: toast, dim sum, cold drink, cooked vegetables, meat food, cheese and water wine. These are the indispensable concrete contents of French food collocation, and among them, the most proud ones are red wine, toast and cheese. French people habitually use western restaurants, romantic French dishes and romantic French meals, and there are many small details that are worthy of gradual taste.
French people are very particular about eating lunch. If they eat in a reliable place, not only the cooking process, but also the process of serving food is exquisite, so it usually takes a long time to eat a more formal lunch. What they eat at home for lunch, they usually eat a little fruit salad or cold plate before meals, and then eat some meat products such as beef, beef and mutton, fish and steak as dinner. After eating this, French people will have desserts as a supplement after meals.
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 base material and adds red onion, unsalted butter, parsley and other thyme seasonings. If you enjoy it as a starter, it is usually accompanied by soft European bread. If it is a dinner, it is usually accompanied by French fries. The mussels can be seen everywhere in France with French fries.
black pig's blood sausage is one of the favorite foods of French people. Does it sound a little scary, saying 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 fine, and the delicious juice completely covers up the little fishy smell. French pig's blood sausage and baked apple are a common combination. Baked apple can combine the vegetable oil in pig's blood sausage and make the whole dish more and more balanced.
The tender duck breast is a favorite food for lunch. When it comes to domestic ducks, especially the tender duck breast, which most often happens on the dining table, the wine waiters in most French restaurants will immediately think of bringing Madiran red wine, which is produced in the southwest of France, to accompany their meals. However, in France, the delicacies made of goose or duck offal are unusually numerous, and the practices and tastes are also very different.
when it comes to French cuisine, I have to mention French foie gras. Indeed, there is nothing more unusual and shocking than frying French foie gras. Anyone who has tried French foie gras will definitely be impressed by its smooth taste and soft layering like cotton wool. However, it is cruel for Cui to cook and fatten French foie gras, so let's weigh it. Do we have to protect wild animals or do we have to feel in our taste? 3, dinner
French cuisine has the characteristics of universal selection of materials, fresh materials, beautiful and generous dishes, and a wide variety. The dishes are generally raw, and there is a habit of eating lettuce. In seasoning, wine is emphasized, and what raw materials and wine are used are emphasized. When having dinner, the French usually have dinner at eight o'clock in the evening. The pace of French life 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 eat steak tartar for dinner. When we talk about tartar, we will think of the northern nomadic people in ancient China who ate meat and drank wine. Tartart's transliteration is Tatar. Tartar steaks are all made of raw high-end steaks. The original beef and mutton are tender and tender, and the delicious raw egg yolk is really unforgettable. This is definitely a different kind of food.
Sausages and pickles are always eaten by French people for dinner. This dish is a traditional dish in Alsace. From its location, Alsace is very close to France, and this dish is more like a large German dish. Sausages and pork ribs are served with potatoes, and then served with pickled vegetables that taste good, so that you can completely achieve it for carnivores.
Stewed chicken with red wine is also a very famous French feast, which is usually cooked by a rooster. It is very tempting to match it with red wine, bacon and unsalted butter. The fragrance of wine, coupled with the strong chicken breast, is extremely delicious. French cheese is another famous specialty, and locals eat bread dipped in cheese. In winter in the Alps, it is a comfortable thing to eat toast around the fondue cheese.
A delicious French meal is inevitably accompanied by crayfish juice and white spotted pike sausage. Traditionally, this kind of sausage is made of white spotted pike into smooth fish paste, which is soaked in cream and protein, aged for a long time, and then scraped off with a double iron spoon and cooked in olive balls. It sounds a bit like shrimp balls made first in China, but the taste is softer and more fluffy. Pouring lobster sauce on the 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 whether the ingredients are delicious or not, while for the French, they are more concerned about how to use the food and how to make the food more nutritious.
