Vegetarian Meals

France is a heaven for gourmets… To follow up our previous recipe let’s talk a bit about what vegetarians in general commonly eat in France.

The peculiarity of French cuisine is plenty of vegetables and root crops. Potatoes, kidney beans, various kinds of onion, spinach, cabbages of all kinds, tomatoes, eggplants, celery, parsley, and lettuce are used for coking snacks, first and second courses, and for side dishes as well.

There are also such typical meals for the French as omelets and cheese souffles which they cook with various seasonings and fillings (mushrooms, greens, and vegetables). Well actually these meals are not eatable for many vegetarians.

As to first courses the french really love cream soup with leek and potatoes, and onion soup filled with cheese.

In comparison to other countries of Western Europe French chefs use less dairy products. Of course we don’t mention here different kinds of cheese that are famous all around the world. Cheese meal and green salad are always served before dessert.
