If you are going to Italy, as per your other thread, why do you want to know about France's most popular food?

What is the best food in France? French!
|
There is no one 'most popular' food. Everyone has different tastes. Personally, I love magret de canard, cassoulet, foie gras and specialities from the Southwest of France. In France, a nation of 60 million people as in any other country, there is no one national dish.

I give up...what is it?
|
Langercraft is correct, French cuisine at its best is regional cuisine. And what you appeals to you most may not appeal at all to someone else. For example, I don't like any of the dishes Langercraft loves. The cuisine of Southwest France leaves me cold. I much prefer the cuisine of the Loire Valley, Brittany, and Burgundy. The cuisines I love aren't better than that of Southwest France, just different.

You ask two questions: best and most popular. Which is it?
|
Which ever you enjoy most
|
I'll go out on a limb and say -- croissants and baguettes, basically bread and pastries, as the most "popular".
If this were a Jeopardy quiz, I'd say croissant is the most popular French food. |
...although the croissant is originally Austrian and the French fry is Belgian....

French fries>
French fries are not even of French origin but Belgian I believe - the word 'french' means 'frenched' potatoes - a way of cooking them and has nothing to do with France - you make the same mistake as Congress when they re-named French Fires Freedom Fries to show their disgust with the French. The most iconic French food is no doubt a baguette fresh from a boulangerie. Sans doute! |
Random questions about "best" and "favorite".
Not sure I understand what is actually going on here. |
Make the most of the message:
My personal popular food is Cassoulet; Moules et frites; Bouillabaisse; the latter being my preferred choice. |
It certainly is not andouillette
|
Ira - great suggestions. The only thing I'd add to that is foie gras.
StuD - you want to eat flying rats, as Herb Caen was wont to say? |
