World-famous French cuisine, with its exquisite and luxurious taste, has swept the stomachs of diners all over the world. The French regard "eating" as a great pleasure in life. They think that food is not only a kind of enjoyment, but also an art. In the16th century, the French court had a set of exquisite food culture. After the French Revolution, with the court chefs living in the market, court cuisine began to take root among the people.
French cuisine attaches great importance to the use of "ingredients". It is a famous saying of French cuisine that inferior materials can't make good dishes. However, the characteristics of local materials of French cuisine make the tastes of North and South different, so it is very important to "where to eat and what to eat in the season".
Sauce is the essence of French cuisine. Because of the importance attached to ingredients, the French use sauces to flavor without destroying the original flavor of ingredients. Good sauce can improve the flavor and taste of food itself, so how to prepare the best sauce depends on the chef's skill! In addition, French cuisine is also regarded as the most expressive cuisine of the chef, and every dish is the artistic creation of the chef.
Characteristics of French diet
Pay more attention to dinner. Love to drink wine, milk, black tea, etc. Go to a restaurant for coffee, fruit and ice cream. I like to eat beef and mutton, chicken, fish, shrimp, eggs and all kinds of sausages. I like all kinds of vegetables. I like to drink clear soup and eat fruit (especially pineapple).
When eating and drinking in a regular French restaurant, the collocation of tableware and wine utensils is meticulous. What kind of food to eat and what kind of knife and fork to use are very well studied, so everyone chooses two or three sets in front of them. The same is true for wine glasses, because the collocation of food and drink is an art here. It is customary to drink an aperitif before meals; During the meal, if you eat meat, you should match it with dry red wine; Eat seafood such as fish and shrimp and drink dry white wine; Some people also like to drink a little brandy and other spirits after meals. Use different glasses for each wine. Looking at the tall, thin glasses in front of you, is it really a drink? But the advantage here is that we don't pay attention to "deep feelings and boring." I let everyone talk while eating. Wine only plays the role of entertainment and atmosphere adjustment, but they raise their glasses frequently, but they all drink lightly enough. Keep a pleasant atmosphere at the table, but don't make too much noise.
