The History of French
Cuisine
In 2010, UNESCO(联合国科教文组织） added
French cuisine to the list of cultural objects
that are called ‘intangible cultural
heritage’. The long history of French
gastronomy leading up to this honor is a
grand one, and it is a history influenced not
only by centuries of French kings and
queens, but also surrounding and faraway
cultures.
During the Middle
Ages, French food
was already an
important part of
life for many
people, but a
French meal looked
very different then
than it does
nowadays.
Fine tableware and
glassware became
important during this
period, and the use of
color also took center
stage. New foods were
also introduced during this
time, both from the
Mediterranean, such as
tomatoes, as well as from
distant regions, such as
green beans coming to
France for the first time
from the New World.
• French cuisine is extremely diverse, with
only the Chinese having similar variety in
their food. This variety is supported by the
French passion for good food in all its
forms, France's extraordinary range of
different geographies and climates which
support the local production of all types of
ingredients, and France's long and varied
history.
Later Italian Influence
When Catherine de Medici came to France in
the 1540s, Italian influences came with her.
Although food had always been visually
appealing in France, the idea of food as
theater was new. Under her reign as Queen
and then Queen Mother of France (three of he
sons became King of France), the dinners she
hosted helped move French cuisine forward in
history.

Tips and warnings
How to Follow French Table
Manners
• Wait until the hostess places her napkin in her lap before you
follow suit.
• Keep your hands on the table at all times. You hand should never
be at your sides or in your lap.
• Wait to drink until the host makes a brief toast.
• Place your bread directly on the tablecloth rather than on your
plate. If there is a bread plate provided, you can use that.
• Rest your utensils(餐具) on your plate when not actively eating.
They should be placed at 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock. This indicates
you are not finished with your plate.
• Use a piece of bread on the end of a fork to clean up sauce on
your plate before the next course if new plates will not be used
for each course.
• Indicate that you want to be served more wine by completely
finishing your glass. To show that you do not want more wine,
leave a small amount in your glass.
• Show that you have finished with your plate by putting your
knife and fork together vertically on the center of your plate.

•
Try to eat all of the food on your plate.
尽量吃你的盘子上的食物。
Saying "please" and "thank you" is expected in French culture.
在法国文化中，尽量说“请”和“谢谢”。
• If you are unsure about whether you can eat a certain dish with
your fingers or other table manners, follow the lead of the host.
Most food is not eaten with fingers, however.
• 如果你不确定是否可以用手指或其他餐桌礼仪吃某道菜，请遵循主人
指示。大部分食品是不能用手指吃的。
• It's acceptable table manners to use a toothpick at the table if
you cover your mouth with your free hand.
• 在餐桌上，如果用你空着的手遮住嘴使用牙签是可以接受的。
• Turn off your cell phone when eating at a restaurant. The
French consider it incredibly rude for phones to ring during
dinner.
• 在餐厅吃饭时，关掉你的手机。手机响于席间法国人认为这是相当粗
鲁。
• Avoid asking for ketchup with your meal. The French often think
adding ketchup to a food is an insult.
• 避免请求用番茄酱。法国人常常认为在食品中添加番茄酱是一种侮辱
。
