Stepping
into one of the fascinating French restaurants, one expects to hear music, see
mouth-watering foods and enjoy superb ambiance. French food is rich and
decadent and something that is to be savored bite after bite. An authentic
French meal usually consists of three courses. The first course is often called
hors d’œuvreand and is usually a soup or salad. The next dish is the main course
and is called plat principal. Unlike in other cultures, the next courser is
considered fromage or cheese course. The final entrée is dessert. When dining
on French cuisines it is important to go hungry. The portions are large and the
food never-ending.
French food is categorized by its thrilling diversity and style. Usually, each
region of France has its own characteristic food. Many French foods have become
America, such as the Crème brulée dessert and French Baggett’s for bread with
dinner. Ever had a Quiche or a Bisque, these are additional dishes that have
been incorporated and are popular in other cultures.
The French like to savor their foods. It is common for a restaurant to open for
the lunch period and then close before dinner. The lunch period; however, is
two hours long in most parts of the country. Rest and relaxation is part of the
charm of the French and little things like two hour lunches are part of it.
What could be more perfect month long holidays and extra-long lunch periods?
Most French restaurants will close after the lunch period, usually around 2:30
pm. The dinner hour does not start until 7:30 pm. While some feel this is kind
of late, the French invented the late romantic dinners.
The French are famous for several entrees including Coq au Vin. The chicken
recipe is well-known for its decadence and scrumptious flavors. Chicken with
white wine, buttered mushrooms, bacon, onions and a tantalizing sauce is
perfect for a dinner date. Another recipe that gets a great deal of attention is
Escargots de Bourgogne. Snails are a delicacy in France and the recipes are
fabulous. Escargots de Bourgogne has snails in the shell with bread crumbs,
butter, onions, white wine, parsley and seasonings.
Most people think of French desserts as rich and luxurious, but it is not
uncommon for a French family to have fruit for dessert. However, there are many
desserts that do tempt the taste buds. Crème brûlée is probably one of the most
recognized French desserts, but the Éclair is also has a following. Other fine
desserts include, Mousse au chocolat, Tarte Tatin, Madeleine and Choux à la
crème.
French eateries, usually called Bistro’s are a place of fine food and ambience
that is second to none. When dining the way the French do, the wine never stops
flowing and the food always leaves one wanting more.
Bon appetite For Everyone. Special Thanks To Real Ingenious Sdn Bhd For Sumptuous Cuisine Recommendation.
