French Food |
|
|
Bread is a staple food in France. The typical loaf of
French bread is called "une baguette", which means stick or wand. It is
about 60 cm long and weighs 500 grammes. French people like their bread
crusty, and this shape of loaf offers the maximum amount of crust to
bread.
French bread contains no fat, so it becomes stale very quickly. This is
why people visit the local "Boulangerie" (hot bread shop) at least once a
day. Bread is eaten at all three meals, and forms the most important part
of breakfast.
