Indo French Food Tieups
France is known for many things — its beautiful language, charming towns, and gorgeous beaches.
While these are all true, the country's cuisine is not to be forgotten. Food here plays a major role in the country’s social life. Bread, Wine and cheese are the basic part and parcel of France.
France has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese. A French proverb claims, “un fromage par jour de l’année” – there is a different cheese for every day of the year.
The French meals are full of social and cultural meaning. Large family gatherings and dinner parties involve more elaborate food preparation and more courses than daily family meals. Wines complement these courses. As a famous writer said “Wine is a part of French culture where buying a bottle is a ceremony and tasting is an art.”
Indian food-
With all its exotic ingredients, unfamiliar dishes, and tongue-tingling flavours, It’s such a complete world of taste.
“Indian cuisine uses the whole palette of flavours—spicy, sour, sweet, and hot all at the same time—making it incredible”
There are a basic 20 to 30 spices that are used in many dishes—cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger, to name a few—and there are an infinite number of ways of using them. Every spice has a reason for being there. They have health benefits, and they make the food more tempting and flavourful
Hence, these things make the cuisines of these countries way too different from each other…
Though its said that people of both the places do not prefer the taste of the other as the food of one place is very spicy and of the other is lesser. But both the places offer huge flavour in their own way making them mouth watering.
Public dedication and love for great food, One thing both Indians and the French seem to share is the love for food. If there is an event, both will assemble a flat table and make something delicious there and then relish on it. In India, this might be a rack of spiced kebabs or an enormous cauldron of dal and in France, this might mean crushing part of the apple harvest to make cider or putting fromage on thick slices of crusty fresh baguette. It’s this kind of public ritual which shows the love of food of both nations.
The people of both the countries devote immense love and passion to their culinary culture and they can talk about it for hours!
