French cuisine: differences between regional cuisines
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Topic **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">French cuisine is known for its exquisite taste and fastidious culinary skill. There’s of course national cuisine which spread all over the nation, even the world; however, the French regional cuisine is what truly makes people stunning: in such a space, the diversity of cuisine style is amazingly rich, and it’s not inferior to the national cuisine at all. We can see that French people of certain region have their own culinary tradition and cuisine style, and that’s definitely one of the most important parts to construct their life and culture. Nevertheless, French people have a strong identification of their own country, and this kind of identification would not weaken because of the different regional culture. In this case, we could say that even there’re so many minor cultures, French people can still construct a unique and unified French culture.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">In the beginning, I’ll introduce the overview of French cuisine, giving the national cuisine for example; then I’ll introduce about 6~8 major regional cuisines for contrasting, discussing about the differences and similarities and why them exist; in the end, I’ll have a general conclusion.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Preview **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">French cuisine has been considered contributing significantly to Western cuisines and its criteria are used widely in Western cookery school boards and culinary education. Undoubtedly, it has a tremendous influence over the world cookery. What’s noticeable is that many local dishes are accepted by both bourgeoisie and peasants, and some of these dishes are concluded into fine-dining realm. To them, all kinds of cuisines have their own histories and values, and they all deserve to be respected, protected and promoted.
