We would be better off speaking about <strong>French gastronomy<\/strong>, which includes all of the French cuisines.

A stew of local veggies, with a nice piece of beef and cooked in beer.<\/li>\n<li>In Britain (West), <strong>Crepes<\/strong> of course! Sweet or salty, using a wheat or buckwheat flour base, often made with Nutella or ham.<\/li>\n<li>In Lorrain (East), <strong>Quiche Lorraine<\/strong>, a salty tart covered of migaine (mixture of eggs and cr\u00e8me fraiche) and bacon.<\/li>\n<li>In Provence (South-East), the <strong>Bouillabaisse<\/strong>: a fish soup served with garlic croutons and potatoes.<\/li>\n<li>In the South-West: the <strong>Cassoulet<\/strong>, a white bean based copious meal with meats (duck and pork).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those are some typical <strong>French courses<\/strong>: all very different from each other, using simple ingredients for a delicious result every time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To make a long story short, there is not ONE French cuisine.
