Why France is Famous for Its Cuisine

Erik Van Tongerloo
Many people in the world know tat France is well known or "famous" for its cuisine. Every year there are many tourists in France and they enjoy "the secret" of the French kitchen.
"The most famous cuisine" depends from person to person and I rather prefer the Italian cuisine than the French one. Of course that is my personal opinion and many people prefer another one.

If you visit France you can see how French people enjoy their meal. In most countries people don't take much time to eat; they are stressed and eat a little snack but in France it is totally different.
These people take time for their meal. It is possible that they take hours to enjoy their meal. The meat and vegetables are mostly freshly cooked and the different delicious sauces make the French kitchen so popular. There is one thing that can't be missed: the French wine. It is very difficult to find a better one than the French wines; this beverage is the symbol of their country. The most popular wines are Bordeaux, Bourgogne and of course Champagne.

If you have a look to the best chefs of the world the majority comes from France and it that not the proof that the kitchen of France is excellent. The top restaurants of the world are to find in Paris and Nice. If you didn't visit France it is time to do it and I am sure you will enjoy the French cuisine.

Croissants are very popular in France and there is no country in the world where you can find better ones. I tasted in different countries of the world and even in my hometown I eat regularly croissants but only the French cuisine knows the secret to make the best croissants.

The cuisine of France is also popular because of its boulangeries. Who didn't eat there the freshly baked breakfast pastries, French toasts, croissants, often served with a strong French coffee? I can tell you that everyone who visited France will agree with me that this food is delicious.
France is also well known for its cheese and many kinds of these can be enjoyed in all the countries of the world. If you want really the best taste of cheese you have to eat them in France and very often cheese is served there after a meal. You can call it a kind of dessert.
The most popular cheeses are Camembert, Brie and Roquefort.

Every region of France has his own typical dishes and that makes the French cuisine so special; no matter which city you visit in France you can always enjoy a typical French meal. Tournedos, entrecte, escargots, oysters, moules la marinire and mussels in French wine are very popular dishes.

People, if you didn't visit France it is time to do it and you will enjoy the French kitchen.
