So far, I've only had the chance to eat very small meals. I went out with friends for lunch one day, and then I ate by myself in a cafe as well. Other than that, I've mostly been eating bread at my apartment. Admittedly, while bread might not seem that exciting, I was quite excited to try a traditional French baguette (a crusty breadstick about two feet in length and two inches wide) which is probably the most famous French food of all!
I also tried pasta with burrata and tomato sauce; not super adventurous or even traditional French food, but the pasta was prepared differently from what I am used to from back home.
The food was fresh and delicious!
The pasta is boiled in water, then topped with tomato sauce. On top, there was one burrata. Burrata is a cheese where the outside is mozzarella and the inside is creme with softer cheese, making for one of my favorite cheeses!
Burrata, and the mozzarella that it is made from, is more Italian than French. But cheese, or in French fromages, is a very significant part of the French diet, and the French are world-renowned for their delicious cheeses.
