France is full of Famous Foods, creating food delicacies is in french history. That's why French Food is respected all over the world.

Some of the world's most expensive and famous foods come from France. Their rareness and the techniques used to make them, are sometimes very time consuming and questionable.

From Provincial French Cooking to Nouvelle Cuisine the ingredients can remain the same, made famous by just presenting them differently.
