  1. grapes (the wine vineyards).

    tomatos


  2. France is well renowned for its wines the best ones come from the Bordeau, Burgundy and Alsace regions, its duck or goose liver pates from the south west and hundreds of cheeses from all over the country.

    In the North they use a lot of butter and cream in their cooking in the south mostly olive oil. Cognac, calvados and champagne are also from France.

  3. The French typically eat a wide variety of foods. Organ meats and wild game are more prevalent in Europe than here in the US.

    Depending upon the region, just like in Italy, the food varies somewhat.

    Typical french foods are variety vegetables, leeks, lentils, celery, more cheeses and breads, meats including wild small game, fish and simple fruits, sorbets and pastries. Wine of course, at lunch and dinner but small amounts. It is impolite to be drunk in public, which is also true in Italy.

  4. The French grow and eat alot of the same foods that you can find in American Italian cuisine, except they eat a plethora of wild game such as pigeons and horse is considered a delicacy. Among their staple foods is bread meats and cheeses.

  5. Grapes, cabbage, tomatoes, leeks, celery, carrots, apples....those are just off the top of my head.

    fun fact: the phrase "ma petite choux" is a term of endearment meaning "my little cabbage"

    Hope that this helped!
