French Food Cont.

Hey fellow adventurers! I made (with help) some popular French food with my husband and family. First, I’ll talk a little bit more about French food and then I’ll share the recipes I followed. As well as pictures of the food I made.

I’ve already somewhat covered this but I want to talk about every day, non-restaurant etiquette. The French have family-style sit down meals three times a day with lunch being the most important. And no snacks! In France, eating is something to be savored not on-the-go or while distracted. Even coworkers eat together family-style. If a coworker were to grab a bite to eat by themselves, it would be considered rude or an insult. Lunch and dinner are generally three course meals. Three course meals typically consist of an appetizer (salad, soup, paté), the main course (generally a meat or fish dish with potatoes, rice, pasta and/or vegetables) and a cheese plate or dessert. French kids must eat the same things as the adults do. There’s no kids’ food versus adults’ food. The French believe in teaching kids how to eat healthy at a young age so they carry those good habits into adulthood. There’s also an emphasis on locally grown, fresh food in French cuisine.

I tried to make beignets which is a French doughnut. However, I failed miserably… whoops!

My husband took over and they were beautiful! We cheated and used pre-made batter from World Market but I’ll provide a recipe for those that love to bake (or you can be lazy like me). They were so good! They were light, fluffy and didn’t have an overwhelming flavor so presumably taste like whatever you pair them with (powdered sugar for us). If you do make these, I highly recommend you drink coffee with them! We had an iced mocha with ours (café Au chocolat?) and it made the whole meal that much better! We ate it on my back patio, with the café music playlist I mentioned at the end of the music post, so that it felt like we were eating on a café terrace. Recipe here:

And for lunch I made croque-monsieurs for my family (my family do eat meat so I’ll share pictures of both the meat and vegetarian version). Croque-monsieurs are baked or fried ham and cheese sandwiches that are typically served at French Cafés. I followed the same recipe for both versions and in the vegetarian sandwich, switched out the ham for a soy lunch meat substitute. My family loved the meat version! As for me, I really enjoyed the vegetarian version but I might use a more flavorful lunch meat next time. Recipe here: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/croque-monsieur

Vegetarian version:

Regular version:

I wanted to make a vegetarian French onion soup as well but I got sick so it never happened. I’m sorry. I’ll still provide the links to the recipe I was going to make and the meat version. I’ve had French onion soup before though. It’s pretty salty with a (obviously) strong onion taste, and a lot of cheese! For those who’ve never had it, it tastes like a liquid form of onion potato chips with cheese on top. I’m a fan and would highly recommend it if you like onions. Once again, I’m sorry that I can’t vouch for either of these recipes.

And that’s it for the food section of France! If there were any recipes that you felt should have been included or just want to share, please feel free to comment below! Or if you made any of these recipes, feel free to share pictures! I would love to see! Until the next adventure!

    well-liked than you may be now. You are very intelligent.
    You recognize therefore considerably with regards to this subject,

  10. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

    The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.
    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility
    but I figured I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though!
    Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks

  11. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make
    your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving
    us something informative to read?

  12. Für Türen hat sich der Panzerriegel als gut funktionierendes Hilfsmittel herausgestellt.

    Ansonsten schreiben Sie uns weiter unten doch einen Kommentar.
    Falls noch Fragen oben in unserer Bewegungsmelder-Kaufberatung offen geblieben sind, werden Sie eventuell hier fündig.
    6.1. Worin liegt der Unterschied zwischen dem Bewegungsmelder für außen und innen?
    Bewegungsmelder helfen dabei, nicht unklar laufen zu müssen. Sowohl der
    Bewegungsmelder (außen) als auch der Bewegungsmelder (innen) sind gleich
    aufgebaut. Theoretisch gibt es zwischen diesen beiden Varianten keinen Unterschied in ihrer Funktion. Während der
    Bewegungsmelder für innen bei Regen die Nässe durchlässt, bleibt der Bewegungsmelder für außen stabil.
    Die Schutzstufe IP44 ist Minimum und schützt das Gerät vor Regen. Wenn Sie den Bewegungsmelder
    richtig anschließen, darf dieser draußen nicht durch
    normale Regennässe kaputt gehen. Allerdings haben sie ein anderes
    Gehäuse. 6.2. Lohnt sich ein Bewegungsmelder (außen) solar-betrieben? Wenn Sie einen Solar-Bewegungsmelder bevorzugen, dann werden Sie überwiegend eine Kombination aus Bewegungsmelder und Solarleuchte finden.

  13. This is the right website for anyone who wants to understand
    this topic. You realize a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa).
    You definitely put a fresh spin on a subject that’s been written about for years.
    Wonderful stuff, just wonderful!

  14. Howdy! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I really enjoy
    reading your articles. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that go over
    the same subjects? Many thanks!

  15. I truly love your website.. Pleasant colors & theme.
    Did you build this website yourself? Please reply back as I’m wanting
    to create my very own site and would love to find out where you got this from
    or just what the theme is named. Many thanks!

  17. I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing problems with
    your website. It appears as if some of the written text in your
    posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening
    to them as well? This might be a problem with my browser
    because I’ve had this happen previously. Cheers

  18. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot
    about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.

  20. I think that what you said was actually very logical. But, what about this?
    what if you typed a catchier title? I ain’t suggesting your content is not solid., however what if you added a post title to possibly get folk’s attention?
    I mean French Food Cont. – Bryanna Vs The World is a little vanilla.
    You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news headlines to grab viewers
    interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers excited
    about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it could make your website a little livelier.
