Repas le petit déjeuner
Breakfast is usually served between 700 and 830
am. It always consists of a large piece of
French bread (une baguette) and café au lait, a
large cup filled with one third very strong
coffee, and two thirds warm milk. The baguette
is cut in half and spread with butter (this is
the only time that the French like their bread
buttered), and some type of jam (strawberry,
raspberry, peach and apricot are popular). This
is called une tartine. Occasionally,
croissants and brioches are served instead of
tartines, but this is most common on weekends or
in hotels. French children will eat their
tartines with hot chocolate, served in large café
au lait cups or in bowls, since they will often
dip their baguettes in the hot chocolate. Thé au
lait (equal parts tea and hot milk) is sometimes
substituted for café au lait.  
13
Repas le déjeuner
Lunch is served at noon or 100 pm. It is
traditionally the main meal of the day, and can
last up to two hours. Children and business
people are given at least an hour for lunch, in
some cases, the traditional two-hour lunch break
is still observed. Everyone returns home to eat
lunch with his or her family. This large meal is
served in several courses Les hors doeuvres
Often sliced tomatoes or raw vegetables (des
crudités), sardines, pâté, stuffed artichokes or
mushrooms, hard-boiled eggs or sausages. Soup
may be substituted for appetizers. Lentrée The
French entrée is not the main course, as in
America. Rather, it is an entry into the main
part of the meal. This course is usually some
type of egg or seafood dish. Since France is
surrounded on three sides by water, fresh seafood
(crab, shrimp, oysters, mussels, fish, etc.) is
very plentiful. Popular egg dishes include
various omelets, soufflés, and quiches.
14
Repas le déjeuner
Le plat principal The main course usually
consists of meat or poultry served with potatoes
(French fries are most popular, mashed and boiled
potatoes are also common, but baked potatoes are
rare) and cooked vegetables. Plates are often
arranged artistically, since presentation adds to
the overall enjoyment of the meal. French bread
is served with all courses, and may be used to
wipe the plate clean of remaining sauces. La
salade The salad is served after the main course
to cleanse the palate of the richness of the
preceding courses, preparing it for the cheeses
and desserts yet to come.    
In order to achieve this purpose, the salad is a
very plain mix of lettuces tossed with a light
vinaigrette, a dressing made of vinegar, olive
oil, and herbs. The French bread served with the
salad also helps to cleanse the palate.
15
Repas le déjeuner
Les fromages France produces over 300 varieties
of cheeses, many of which have become popular in
America as well. Favorites are brie and
camembert (soft, creamy, mild cheeses in a
powdery rind), Roquefort (a blue cheese), chèvre,
port salut, gruyere (made from goats milk), and
a pasteurized, processed cheese called La vache
qui rit (The Laughing Cow). When tasting
cheeses, one should always eat the milder
varieties before trying the stronger ones. Les
fruits and les desserts After sampling the
cheeses, a variety of sliced, seasonal, fresh
fruits is served, sometimes with fresh yogurt or
sorbet. Various light desserts may also be
served. Pastries such as tarts, cookies,
éclairs, and cream puffs are very popular, but
cakes are only for birthdays and weddings, and
pies are very rare. Pastry making is considered
an art, and all pastries are beautifully
decorated. Chocolate mousse and crème caramel,
as well as soufflés flavored with chocolate,
vanilla, strawberry, orange and lemon are other
popular desserts.        
16
Repas le déjeuner
Les boissons The French drink wines and mineral
waters with their lunches and dinners. Milk is
only served to very small children. Soft drinks
are most common between meal, ordered at cafés.
Coca (any type of cola) and limonade (white
soda) are most common, as well as Orangina and
Fanta. Coffee is served after the final course
of a meal, and is often followed by liqueurs and
cordials. French coffee is very different from
ours. It is served in a very small cup called a
demi-tasse. Coffee served in France is
Turkish, not South American, and is often mixed
with chicory. The result is a very strong,
black, almost bitter coffee. It is served with
cubes of sugar, but cream is never added.
17
Repas le goûter et le dîner
LE GOÛTER After school, around 430 or 500,
children have a snack called le goûter. They
spread bread with a rich chocolate spread called
Nutella. Adults may have a cup of herb tea or
coffee and a simple pastry or cookie.   LE DÎNER
ou LE SOUPER Dinner is served around 8 pm.
Depending on familys preferences, this evening
meal may be as large as the noon meal, but most
French people eat soups, sandwiches or omelets.
This meal is similar to the American noon lunch.
18
Culture Le savoir-vivre à table
Sit up straight at the table! Dont talk with
your mouth full. Keep your elbows off the
table. In France, you must keep both hands on or
above the table at all times. You should never
put your left hand in your lap like we do in
America. It is considered rude, or even amusing.
In the US, you must pass your fork from your
left hand to your right hand each time that you
cut a piece of meat. In France, you keep your
knife in your right hand and your fork in your
left at all times.
The host and hostess sit at the center of the
table, across from each other. Dressings for
salads and other foods are never kept on the
table, nor is meat carved at the table. You must
never serve yourself until you asked to do so.
If the host or hostess asks if you would like
second helpings, respond, Oui, avec plaisir if
you would like more.
19
Culture Le savoir-vivre à table
Be careful! Merci means no thank you, Im no
longer hungry in this case. And never say, Je
suis plein(e) (Im full) in France. This is
expression reserved for animals that are
expecting! When you are invited to dinner, it is
always nice to bring flowers, candy, wine, or a
little gift for your hosts. If you bring
flowers, never bring chrysanthemums, since in
France, these flowers are reserved for funerals
and graves.
You must never arrive on time if you are invited
to dinner in France. Always arrive at least half
an hour later, in order to give your hosts enough
time to finish up last minute preparations.
