Regional influences on French food
Each region, in addition to boasting local specialties, also has a general style of cooking and choice of ingredients. For example, in Provence the food typically features olive oil, herbs and tomatoes. • Almost all the famous French dishes are regional specialties, some of which have become popular throughout France while others are mainly enjoyed in the regions in which they originate. Although regional specialties are often offered throughout France, the quality of ingredients and preparation is often superior in their region of origin.
Wine and cheese
• Aside from bread and water, the most common accompaniments to a French meal are wine and cheese. Unlike other countries, in France wine is considered a standard part of everyday meals, and is neither expensive nor reserved for special occasions. With everyday meals, ordinary wines are served, although it is expected that the style of wine match the style of food.
