Since the supermarket has yet
to make much of ano inroad in
(Additional Society. Pag 6)
Europe, the Frnch riousewife
goes to one shop for her baked
goods, another for her meat, an
other for het tnilk. butter and
eggs and Mill another for her
fruit and vegetables.
She usually does her shopping
on. foot. Very few French wom
en drive, and every n'ichbor
hood hat its little cluster of Mar
kets. French bread has a thick crut.
a rough texture and a good fla
vor, and. of course. French pas
tries are famous.
I noticed that nearly every
thing here is cooked in butter.
Each individual food is served
separately to preserve its own
tpecial flavor. The staple drink
with every meal Is wine. A quart
bottle of ordinary red wins costs
only 22 cents.
French food, is so rich, the
sauces in particular, that some
people drink mineral water in
stead of wine. They do not care
- for milk. "Milk is for children.".
I they say. Water "rusts vour in
I sides." -
; The French use little canned
food and think we use far too
'much of it. A French horriemaker
. j always makes her own vegetable
soup, aiinougn some.workins
women use powdered or pack
aged dry soup. Breakfast is
small. The big meal comes at
noon. Dinner itaits about 7:30
or 8 p.m. ' :
French people entertain rare
ly because dinner with' guests is
such a formal affair, with as
many as eight courses. Soup, hers
d'oeuvres. fish or fowl, meat and
vegetables, salad, cheese, dessert
end coffee follow each other one
at a time. Such a dinner takes' ai
full ' day or more to prepare.
There is very little installment
buying, .The French are very
thrift and very proud, taking
the attitude. "If we can t afford
it,' we'll wait until w have the
cash."
