France is a large European country and is also an old country. It has many oceans surrounding it. Also, being surrounded by many other countries, that has also affected the cuisine. The land is made up of rolling planes and coasts. The climate is moderate. French cuisine is a mash-up, a mixture of many different cultures' cuisine. 'Good food and wine are an important part of daily life'. There are 3 types of cuisine: Haute (elaborate chef-style), Provincial (daily home cooking), and Nouvelle (focus on light and natural tastes). There are two important aspects of French cooking, quality ingredients and patience. The French like to use sauces and seasonings. They also have straight-forward meal plans. There are different regions of France too, which have different cooking styles.
The first dish was Poulet au Citron. It was a more simple main dish, compared to the others. The sauce was even pretty easy to make. The mixture of spices worked with the lemon to create for a nice taste. It was delicious.
The second dish was Pommes Croustillantes. And to quote my sister, "You can make this awesome, delicousness any time." This dish, besides peeling, coring, and chopping up the apples was virtually timeless. And it melted in your mouth. Easy and amazing.
