French Food

It’s been about 10 years since my brother left the country of France. After spending two years there in various regions of the country, he has learned to enjoy the delicious variety of food they have to offer.
Each region of France has its own unique specialties and favorite foods. It’s kind of like the USA, where the food likely to be served in a Texas home is going to be different than the food served in a Louisiana home. There are little subcultures within the country’s culture.
During his stay, he experienced some very interesting foods in France that I don’t expect to taste at home, unless served at a French restaurant. The most interesting food ever served to him was in the town of Blois, France. This is in the Northern middle of France, southwest of Paris. It was at a friend’s house, and he wasn’t told what was being prepared. When they brought out the main course, he was told the meat was cerveau de l’agneau, which translated means lamb’s brain. As a side dish he was served escargot, or snails.
Other foods he ate were duck, rabbit, foie gras (fattened liver of duck or goose), new cheeses, and delicious desserts. He would have to say that his favorite places to get food in France were the patisserie (pastry/bakery shop) and the boulangerie (bread shop). On almost every corner in every town, these friendly little shops really know how to make a guy feel at home.
