The news claimed california would receive approximately four inches of rain. There's some sort of unspoken rule that; when it rains, soup has to be eaten. Coincidently, prior to this storm, I had never before eaten this impressive delegacy that the french call ‘French Onion Soup’. French Onion soup has been around since the Roman times. However, Roman Onion soup is not the topic, the diversified and accommodating French Onion soup from the 18th century made in beef broth is the topic at hand. French Onion soup, also referred to as Soupe à l'oignon à la Parisienne is apparently French onion soup is regarded as a poor person's meal. Onions were very accessible and easy to grow. French Onion soup originates from Paris, France during the 18th …show more content…
This story is obviously apocryphal. For one thing, onion soup has been made for as long as there have been fire, water, people, and onions; it didn’t need some peckish monarch to invent it.” you've probably ordered and appreciated, french onion soup, and then suddenly realize, you’ve just consumed 70 calories of onions and hot water, covered in slightly overcooked cheese.
However, french onion soup does have a lot of things going for itself. One, french onion soup is the perfect thing to eat after a long winter day. Secondly, french onion soup is one of the cheapest soups to make from scratch. Lastly, i can guarantee that the dripping cheese on the top of the soup will somehow get in your hair while eating.
The cool thing about french onion soup is, its topping. A slice of bread and a shit ton of cheese, (all browned in an oven). In thought; this sounds pretty bomb, however, this soup is horribly misleading. Do you know how hard it is to move bowls of hot cheesy breaded french onion soup is? The one unique thing that french onion soup has going for it, is the topping, the one thing that frustrates everyone cooking it; the topping.
As a cultural consumer i can confidently say one thing. French onion soup is everywhere. Ralphs, Panera, Olive Garden, steakhouses, and advertised on media and

If you look into the title “Monologue for an Onion”, one would suggest that the poem would actually be about a monologue from an onion. It was in fact monologue, but the author chose to have two characters versus one. This is significant because the tone of the poem is based on the characters reactions to each other. Monologues usually incorporate individuals speaking on a serious matter which inevitably allow people to think. It made me wonder who the victim actually was. Both characters could’ve been manipulating each other to get their desired endings. So what was the matter in the poem? The serious matter incorporated in the poem was a longing and searching for truth and the power of relationship. Ironically, the situation is expressed through an onions voice. The irony is in the actual speaking of the onion. This is seen as a ridiculous preposition because onions do not talk. The onion not only has the ability to communicate with the human being addressed, it also has the legitimacy to express words of wisdom. If a poet chose to make an onion talk, others would suggest that the poem involved humor....
Cajun cuisine is a fusion of food from around the world, giving it a very rich and colorful history. It was filled with great ideas and integrations from the French, Spanish, Africans, and Native Americans. After many years Cajun cuisine has developed into what it is today: a well respected southern culinary classic.
...rtatious, and mainly associated with food. Even the character names such as "Cherie and Lumiere" of "Beauty and the Beast" promotes the romantic nature that the French are stereotyped for. Through the representation of this culture, children would only learn to associate the mentioned stereotypes toward the French and only that. They would not consider other characteristics that the French are also known for, not necessarily the romance and the great French cuisine that we already know of. Having said this, what Disney produced as a harmless depiction of the French, could furthermore fuel of what could be viewed as a limiting representation of the French culture.
They also take the time to prepare the food, and then sit down and eat it socially. As a result of meals being “events” or “celebrations”, they eat slower and enjoy their food. In America, people often eat on-the-go (in their car, while walking, etc.) so food is consumed quickly which makes it easier to overeat. Therefore, the French eat less food in a longer period of time, which allows them to take pleasure in their meal. Another French custom is to always eat at the same time of day, which limits the amount of control a person has on when they eat - this is controlled by the
Evidently, consumer behavior in the US is different as compared to that in France. What would work in France would not necessarily work in the US.
" The French, down to the lowliest drummer were very fastidious. These poor French devils were not satisfied with less than soup, meat and vegetables, roast, and salad for their midday meal, and there was no sign of their famous frugality.
Campbell’s Soup Cans was the first of several works created with this theme. The thirty two paintings are very similar, each one of them has a realistic image of the iconic red and white can of Campbell’s soup over a white background. The paintings have minor variations in the names that indicate the flavor of each soup. The majority of these are written with red letters; however, four varieties have additional black letters, like the “Clam Chowder” painting that says “Manhattan Style” in black letter under the name. The “Beef” flavor can also has black letters indicating that it is made “With Vegetables and Barley”, while the “Scotch Broth” has black letters that say “A Hearty Soup”, and the “Minestrone” can has “Italian-Style Vegetable Soup” also written in this color. In addition, there are two flavors that have words in parenthesis written in red letters under the type of soup. One of them is the “Beef Broth” tha...
Learning about the Vichy government was a struggle, but a very interesting topic. Knowing that two men can control a whole government is frightening. Overall, the Vichy government was just a dark time in France. From France being split into two halves and having the Vel’d’Hiv, the Vichy government did more harm than help and I think many historians realize that.

“The food of Belgium is now acknowledged as among the very best in Europe, and many of its restaurants have earned all kinds of the most respected international garlands and awards” (Mason 37). When people think of Belgium, they tend to first think of waffles, chocolate, French fries, and beer. Belgium has some of the finest quality of these foods in the world. In fact, the Belgians invented the French fry, so it’s only natural they have the best. Chocolate was invented in Mesoamerica, but Belgian chocolates are renowned as the best, to the point that many “foreign chocolate makers often buy their raw materials from Belgium” (Mason 39). Being so close to France, a country known for its cuisine, Belgian food is essentially French, but chefs do have their own touches. Even the Flemish, who argue with the Wallons over anything, concede to the fact that French is the language of food. Germany also influences Belgian cooking. The saying goes that Belgians serve French food in German-sized portions. Many of the spices used in their cooking is similar to what the French use, as well as what Americans use: thyme, saffron, paprika, mint, garlic, nutmeg, parsley, chives, bay leaf, oregano, mustard, ginger, cayenne, and the list goes on (“Top” 1). Fruits and vegetables eaten in Belgium are particularly similar to what Americans tend to eat. Potatoes, onions, and carrots are the most popular vegetables in Belgium; apples are the most popular fruit (Economic 5). Being so small of a country, there really are no regional variations. Each restaurant or family may have its own recipe or style, but as a whole, the country’s cooking is the same. A liter of milk in Belgium costs about $1.21, while in the Jacksonville, it costs about $1.02. A do...
