The use of "an" before a word starting with the letter X is determined by the sound that follows it. If the word starts with a vowel sound, like in "an umbrella," "an" is used. So, it's based on pronunciation rather than just the letter itself.

la baguette ("the stick") is the best-known loaf of French bread. It is expected to weigh 250 grams, and to have a nice crust. Bread is called 'pain' in French and has to be made only of flour, water, a pinch of salt and a pinch of yeast, but no more. Every variety of bread with added fat or preservatives, are called with a (slightly) different name, and are often disregarded by French people.

In general the French are not great eaters of breakfast. Traditionally bread with butter and confiture (jam or Jelly) and coffee has been the normal fare. However in the last fifty years the French breakfast has been changing particularly for children. In the 1960's the French dairy industry encouraged the consumption of dairy products notably yoghourts flavoured and non- flavoured and this has become a common product for children to eat at breakfast. Bread and confiture is still a staple and many households buy tartines or toasts (essentially a dried bread rusk) to eat at breakfast. Except in towns and larger villages it is often too far to go to collect fresh bread from the baker. The baker often delivers fresh bread to the household or to a depot de pain later in the day. The French now consume the breakfast cereals that are familiar in the USA and the UK but they tend to be regarded as food principally for children and are not much eaten by adults. Some children particularly if they walk to school in town may supplement their breakfast with a croissant, chocolate croissant or raisin pastry ( pain au raisin) bought from a bakers shop on the way to school.

Children also consume pretty milky coffee and increasingly I think flavoured milk drinks with their breakfast.

During this war the french and the indians were having a war because the indian said the french food is horrible while the indians knew their food was better so the french tried and invade them and take their curries from the country to say it was theirs but unfortuantley the British empire was like Hell no and then God dropped a bomb on them and everyone died unfortuantley...

The English phrase "happy eating" can easily be translated in to French. It becomes the French phrase "heureux de manger".

The main grievance was the huge discrepancy between the wealthy and the poor. The peasants had no money and no food, while the French Royalty spent all of the country's money on lavish parties, clothes and palaces. Queen Marie Antoinette is generally credited with the line "Let them eat cake," said after someone asked her what to do about her starving countrymen. However, there is no proof that she actually said this.

Rinse 'em, cut them up so they look less like snails and so you don't get a huge bite of just snail, and incorporate them into a delicious alfredo. You could find a recipe by googling escargot, pasta, and parmigiano-reggiano. (Why not get decent parmesan if you're going to eat escargot!) I found that right out of the can, they smelled like breakfast sausage, but in the finished food, they were very mild and mushroom-like.

Canard means duck or goose in French.

2. Goose is "oie" (oo-WAH) in French.

What fruits grow in france?

food preparation is called 'la cuisine' in French. If you think of the industrial process of preparing food for selling it, you may say 'préparation culinaire' (you may also say that for your cooking, but that's snobbish)

Yes. Under "declared identity" a Frenchman's nationality is changed to that of another French speaking country, so he becomes a foreigner. He can ask for his real identity and nationality after one year's service.

The word 'love' does NOT have any origins relation to a French word for a food.

"un vol-au-vent" is a puff pastry with a hole where you can put a filing, like chicken in bechamel sauce, mushrooms, prawns...

Literally that means "flight in the wind" because of the lighness of the pastry.

Beef Bourguignon, also Boeuf Bourguignonne or Boeuf à la Bourguignonne is best known as a dish from the Burgundy region of France. The term 'à la Bourguignonne' literally means, 'as prepared in Burgundy', or, 'Burgundy-style'. The beef is braised with onions and mushrooms, and frequently also with tomatoes and bacon, in red wine; red Burgundy is the classic choice, but other wines can be used.
