I love how the quote highlights the idea that food and gastronomy are so deeply woven into the fabric of French society that no matter how serious, joyful, or mundane an event is, it is not truly complete without a shared meal. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

Perchance I would not use the word ‘pretext’ ( 🙂 ! ) – surely ‘reason’ would do! Love the food photos naturally!

I wonder if that isn’t the case in many other countries too – we here in South Africa definitely like to turn any occasion into a food event 😁. But looking at your photos, France’s dishes are definitely in a different class (elegant and stylish).
