Conversations around the dinner table in French « Kolibri Languages. What’s cooking?
The French love food. They also love talking about it. Conversations around the dinner table inevitably include lively discussions about the dishes served, comparisons with other meals eaten elsewhere, suggestions as to how to prepare certain dishes and even a few comments as to just what could be done to vary the taste. A guessing game as to exactly which ingredients have been included is often the highlight of this conversation. The person who successfully identifies the elusive spice or herb will earn the admiration of all the other guests. It’s not surprising, with so much attention paid to food, that idiomatic expressions concerning food and meals abound in the French language. More positively, adding butter to the spinach, ‘mettre du beurre dans les épinards’, will be something which brings extra money to help make ends meet. There are some fun cultural differences to be noted too. Like this: Like Loading...
