    Poutine! ;)

    Blasphemy! That's not French. It's Canadian.

    Ce n'est pas Canadien, c'est Québécoise!

    baguettes and delishious cheeses, moules marinier, croissants, french onion soup and fish soup (I forget what it is called!) We camp there most years but have missed the last two and now I want to be there as this has made me think of all the foods we enjoy daily when camping there. There are of course plenty of more fancy but really nice foods too but these I have written tend to be our staples when there.

    I'm mostly familiar with regional (aka French Canadian) foods like tortiere, cretons, poutine, pea soup and of course cheddar cheese with apple pie. The only classic/traditional french dishes I think I've ever had are croissants, crepes and Coq au Vin. The latter being one of our favorite winter meals. So worth the calories!

    I had cheddar cheese on apple pie. Had seen that in movies. Holy Jeez, that is sooooo good. It's fruit and cheese, baby!

    Yeh, most other provinces consider Quebec the out of work sibling who sleeps on your couch and drinks all your beer, but he's still family I guess :p

    When people ask me if I miss France I say I miss the food! Gorged myself sick last time I went. Hoping (and dreading) to go back next year.

    I can understand that.... I've only spent any time on the West Coast, so I can't really speak for the rest, lol. :smile:

    Ok, totally curious. I grew up in France and I'm not exactly sure what I consider 'French' food. There are quite a few regional dishes that are pretty different from each other.

    The cultural food thread made me wonder though... what does everyone consider French food?

    Pastries!!!! :love:
