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!

  16. Nachdem ich meinen Artikel über die Rolex-Blase veröffentlicht habe, habe ich einige Anfragen von meinen Lesern zur Gesamtübersicht über die Rolex-Preise
    bekommen (Preisliste 2020 / 2021). Denn: Rolex hat die Preisschraube teilweise deutlich angezogen, die Preiserhöhung 2020 gegenüber
    2019 beträgt (entsprechend Modell) rund 3 bis 8%.
    Beliebte Modelle wie die Submariner oder die Daytona
    wurden dabei recht stark erhöht, während eher
    unbeliebtere Modelle wie die Yacht-Master nur moderat erhöht wurden. Das Vorgehen des Genfer Luxus-Uhrenherstellers ergibt Sinn: Die extrem starke Nachfrage nach den beliebten Sport-Stahl-Modellen soll durch die Preiserhöhung etwas
    eingedämmt werden – so zumindest der Plan, denn ob das tatsächlich gelingt, darf ungemein bezweifelt werden. Zunächst gebe
    ich in diesem Artikel schon ein paar einführende Erläuterungen zu den Rolex-Preisen. Dann folgt eine bebilderte Übersicht zu den aktuellen Listenpreisen inklusive der wichtigsten Eckdaten sowie
    der Referenznummern. Neben den Listenpreisen werden in diesem Artikel außerdem
    die ungefähren, „echten” Marktpreise am Beispiel des Online-Händlers Chronext aufgeführt.

  17. Good day I am so glad I found your website, I really found you
    by accident, while I was searching on Yahoo for something else, Anyhow I
    am here now and would just like to say thanks a lot for a
    remarkable post and a all round thrilling blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at
    the minute but I have saved it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read more,
    Please do keep up the fantastic job.

  18. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4
    year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

  19. Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
    A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out.
    Please let me know where you got your theme. Appreciate it

  20. Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the easiest thing
    to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people
    think about worries that they plainly do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

  21. I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of
    your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with
    it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2
    pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  22. I used to be recommended this website via my cousin. I’m no longer certain whether or not
    this put up is written by means of him as nobody else recognise such particular about my problem.
    You are incredible! Thank you!

  23. certainly like your web-site however you need to
    test the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
    Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to inform the truth however
    I’ll definitely come again again.

  24. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let
    you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly.
    I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different
    browsers and both show the same results.

  25. Hi to every body, it’s my first visit of this web site; this website includes
    awesome and genuinely good information in favor of readers.
