France, as a recognized romantic country, must have buildings and scenery with stories and declarations.
The romance of France gives the people living here a naturally romantic temperament. Many people just like the romance here and continue to travel here.
Well, in addition to romance, there are also many delicacies here. There are countless delicacies in France. So, today, the editor will introduce to you what delicacies in France you can try! 1. Cheese There are nearly 400 cheeses in France.
As the saying goes, a cheese every day is never repeated for a year.
Some cheeses have a strong flavor, some are light and soft, some are added with spicy ingredients such as pepper and garlic, and some are covered with blue-green mold spots.
For first-timers, Camembert is a not-to-be-missed choice. This is a very homely cheese originating from the Normandy region. It is round in shape, hard on the outside and soft on the inside.
2. Snails Snails are also called French snails.
This is an appetizer made with the finest snails grown in the vineyards of the Burgundy region.
Because of its large size and tight flesh.
French snails require a long cooking time and are roasted with a large amount of butter, garlic and other seasonings, making them fragrant.
In some areas, there is also a way to eat it into soup.
This dish is very popular in China, and seems to be cooked in all Western restaurants. However, it is more famous in France because snails were expensive in the past, and nobles sought after this dish to show off their wealth.
3. Duck breast. The French are fond of duck meat, especially duck breast.
Only a few breeds of duck can make duck breast, and not all duck breasts are called Magret.
There are two classic ways to eat it: one is to dry it (Séché), and the other is to eat it hot.
The former is rich in fat and is generally cut into thin slices as an appetizer; the latter can be made by the chef into medium-rare (Saignant) or medium-rare (Rosé) according to the cooking temperature (Cuisson), and topped with Italian balsamic vinegar.
This is a main course and is recommended to be paired with a red wine from Bordeaux or a southwestern region.
4. Baguette In France, no matter what time of day, you can see people walking on the streets holding baguettes in their hands.
The baguette freshly baked in the bakery smells fragrant with wheat. The outside is hard and chewy, but the inside is white and soft.
One stick costs about 1 Euro, and you can also choose to buy half a stick, which is a common delicacy.
When ordering in restaurants, a small basket of cut baguettes is often given. Some restaurants even thoughtfully roast garlic or minced olives and other flavors, and smear a little butter on the guests before the food is served.
Or use the sauce to wipe your plate after a meal.
French sandwiches are generally made with baguettes, such as Paris sandwiches, which are made by filling the middle of a cut baguette with ham and cheese slices, plus lettuce and sauce.
