Scariest Foods in France

It’s the scariest day of the year. I will be closing the window shutters so those little trick or treaters don’t think Im home. So I thought we could look into briefly some of the scariest French foods that we might run from the table screaming and saying we are never going back to that restaurant again, others love them and they are practically salivating when they see them on the menu.

Let’s start with the Andouillette. The name comes for the French word Andouille which comes from the Latin Inductile meaning the thing we introduce in the gut. Andouillette didn’t appear in a French dictionary until the 15th century.

My Top Five Food Markets in France

France is well known for its cuisine and the markets that sell fresh produce and local specialties that are the foundation of French cuisine. Visiting food markets in France is not only a great way to sample the delicious cuisine but also to experience the culture and way of life of the local people. In this post, we will take a look at my top 5 food markets in France.

A must-do when visiting any French market is to get a roasted chicken along with potatoes that have been cooked below the chickens in the fat that comes off them. This is a traditional French dish that is delicious and is a must-try when visiting any French market.

My top 5 food markets in France include the Bastille Markets in Paris, Cours Saleya Market in Nice, Chauvigny Markets, Ambroise Market, and Marché Saint-Antoine in Lyon. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, be sure to visit one of these markets and try the local specialties next time your in France.
