French food Feast




I had spent Christmas with my husband's family in the south of France for ten days.  It's been more than two years since I left France the last time and I've forgotten how wonderful the quality of food in France.  I was absolutely dazzled and I rediscovered how amazing French foods are!  It was almost shocking how good the quality of those foods; cheese, wine, pain, jambon and saucisse.  French food is really the best food in the world and nothing is comparable.

I think the food in the countryside is much better quality than in Paris.  I also think about how transportation method had developed, you can never experience the real food unless you go there. The same thing for the Japanese food, I hardly eat Japanese foods outside of Japan; in hong kong, I can cook at home though, because I've never had good Japanese food overseas. If you're a French cuisine lover, you really have to go to eat the food there!

今年のクリスマスは2年半ぶりにフランスの義父母宅で過ごした。久しぶりに戻ったフランスで頂いた食べ物の美味しいこと!!チーズ、パン、ワイン、パテ、ソシソン、ハムの質の良さと美味しさに感嘆した。フランス料理好きの私にはそれらは世の中の何にも代え難い程美味しい。「あぁこれが本当のフランスか!」と感動しまくり、食べまくって帰ってきた。

フランスの食べ物の美味しさは正にその「質の良さ」でパリより田舎の方が断然に食べ物が美味しい。日本で頂くフランス料理のレベルは非常に高いが、それは料理であって食べ物そのものではないと思う。フランスの食材はフランスで食べるのが一番美味しい。それは海外の日本食が日本国内のものとは比較にならないことと同じ。フランス料理好きの方は是非円高の時期にフランスの食を堪能しに行ってほしい。
