Average Eating Ways in France

I cherish France not just because of its elegant tourist sites but also because of the abundance of mouthwatering food and desserts. When my friend and I visited the place last year, we were treated to a day of delicious fiesta – from a traditional French breakfast up to a savory dinner at a popular French restaurant. The trip taught me how the conventional French people eat their meals everyday.

France's normal day begins with a light breakfast in the morning that involves a bread jammed with jam, sandwich spreads, or breakfast cereals. Then, they will swig freshly brewed coffee, tea, any chocolate flavored milk, together with some fruit or fruit juice and sometimes with tasty viennoiseries, also known as croissants. Croissants are usually eaten during the weekends when people have plenty of time to go to the bakery store and shop for them.

Lunch and dinner, on the other hand, diverge from place to place -- dinner in northern France is usually between 7:30 am to 8:30 pm while it is usually after 8:30 pm in the Southern France. Dinner in the working regions are usually around 10:00 to 11:00 in the evening and it consists an appetizer like a salad, a main dish, some cheese, and dessert.
