So the French see European cuisine.
In the twentieth century, before the Scandinavian kitchen and the various fusion kitchens (fusion cuisine, if we combine the culinary arts of different cultures, mix and try to create new dishes), has come to fruition, one of the leading powers of gastronomy was undoubtedly France.
The French are also proud of this and strive to maintain the memory of this period.
Classical French cuisine varies according to the size of the country and the large number of its regions. Well, yes, the French baguette, the croissant.
But do not forget about the famous onion soup, eclair donut, Croque Monsieur sandwich, Coq au Vin (more simply red wine chicken), mustard rabbit on Ratatouille (This delicious single-piece is a tremendous full-length Pixar animation film also commemorates (Ratatouille), if you have not seen it, I recommend it!), fish soup and snails.
The French are a proud nation, aware of their varied gastronomy, not appreciating the culinary art of the surrounding countries. In many cases, they are characterized by a word, property, and diet (funny but very serious).
If we know the cuisine of a particular European people, this can, in many cases, put a smile on our faces.
But let’s see a couple of examples from the map:
The other nation, which is famous for its European cuisine, is Italian. Of course, the French do not think so; they think Italian cuisine is, in a word: overvalued.
One of the typical dishes of the Russians is the Russian salad, which, according to the French, is not Russian but French salad.
The most famous dishes of Hungarian cuisine are goulash soup and roast beef. According to the French, Hungarian cuisine is characterized by too many peppers. (Here, they think of the strong paprika because the Hungarians love hot foods). I know Hungarian cuisine and good goulash soup are unbeatable.
Take a look at the European map below and find out how the French see the cuisine of each region and country!
