The French delicacy has made it to the UNESCO list
France boasts many UNESCO-listed objects. An immaterial item has recently joined them. It’s a must-have souvenir to munch on when you arrive from Paris.
French cuisine is not as well known in the world as Italian or Indian. Nevertheless, even amateurs can name the basic products typical of French dining. One of them has recently lived to see a UNESCO listing. Which delicacy is being referred to?
What do the French eat?
France, like most popular tourist destinations, suffers from certain stereotypes about the locals. In the case of the French, the most commonly talked about are their romanticism (or lovemaking), fashion and more or less typical dishes — frog legs, for example. It’s no secret that France is on the podium of importers of frogs, which then end up on plates.
However, this is a reason not for pride, but for shame. Amphibians are the most endangered group among vertebrates. Recently, however, French cuisine has become famous not for its frog legs, but for its famous baked product. In theory, you can get it in almost every bakery in Europe. In practice, only the French ones are the real deal.
