So we hear France admit today (France News 24 below) from being the absolute authority in the culinary universe to becoming the second largest outlet for McDonalds - the author Michael Steinberger talks about where it all went wrong for French food. http://www.france24.com/en/20110216-2011-en-culture-food-culture-michael-steinberger
Yes it is a shame to see people queue up for lunch at McDonalds in France when they could just as easily go for a decent three course lunch at some of the numerous little restaurants all over the country. The cost of lunch can be as little as 9 Euros a head. The cuisine offered is often exceedingly good with ingredients from the patron's own garden. Many French companies offer their staff luncheon vouchers subsidised by the state so there is no excuse for not supporting good local restaurants. Unfortunately unless people continue to support such places, they will close and we will all lose out as a result. I think young people often take their heritage for granted and by the time it is realised, it can be too late. French Dining School is proud to be involved in French gastronomy in France and ensuring students from all over the world as well as France become aware of and support the fantastic culture and heritage of French and modern European cuisine.
