I have been learning so much about French food while living in Paris. The food is as delicious as you can imagine! It also helps that I am living with a native Italian who loves to cook. All of the food we eat at home is well balanced meals. It is real food and in season fruits.
Some of the things we have had for dinner are fishcakes, pasta, chicken off the bone, vegetables with hummus, potato’s, fish off the bone, sushi, and many more. We always have fruit after dinner or a baked good.
Aimée made a heart shaped cake. It was strange for me, to have cake with no frosting, but instead yogurt on top, Plain Greek Yogurt. It was good for the record and I suggest that you try it with raspberries.
In Paris, you always eat with your knife. Once you pick it up, you never put it down; It cuts and scoops food onto the fork. Everyone eats this way, even the kids.
When we have eaten out it’s always very nice restaurants. They bring out three course dinners (appetizer, main meal, and dessert or café). There aren’t many fast food restaurants, and you are expected to stay for a while when you eat out.
Going out with friends is a bit different, because we all tend to look for something a little cheaper. Most times we can find something really good for around 5 to 9 €. That includes usually the main food item, something on the side, and a drink. So for example I can get a sandwich, dessert, and drink for about 7.50 €. Or a hamburger, some fries and a drink. Everything is cooked right there in front of you.

As I learn more about the food in Paris I will write more. I want to go visit a Café soon!
