A GA from 2007. There's some uncited material such as

When the French colonized Vietnam, one of the most famous and popular dishes, Pot-au-feu was subsequently introduced to the local people. While it didn't directly create the widely recognizable Vietnamese dish, Pho, it served as a reference for the modern-day form of Pho.
There are many dishes that are considered part of French national cuisine today. A meal often consists of three courses, hors d'œuvre or entrée (introductory course, sometimes soup), plat principal (main course), fromage (cheese course) or dessert, sometimes with a salad offered before the cheese or dessert.
Cabécou cheese is from Rocamadour, a medieval settlement erected directly on a cliff, in the rich countryside of Causses du Quercy.This area is one of the region's oldest milk producers; it has chalky soil, marked by history and human activity, and is favourable for the raising of goats.
Anibal Camous, a Marseillais who lived to be 104, maintained that it was by eating garlic daily that he kept his "youth" and brilliance. When his eighty-year-old son died, the father mourned: "I always told him he wouldn't live long, poor boy. He ate too little garlic!"
French Guianan cuisine or Guianan cuisine is a blend of the different cultures that have settled in French Guiana. Creole and Chinese restaurants are common in major cities such as Cayenne, Kourou and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni. Many indigenous animal species such as caiman and tapir are used in spiced stews.
The entire foods and ingredients section.

And many more that need to be addressed. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:51, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Structure of meals: le goûter ?

Should le goûter be added to the "Structure of meals" section? Or has this disappeared from contemporary France? 99.110.182.49 (talk) 03:46, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First paragraph weird

First paragraph in lead should be an overview not a history of the topic, history should be further down in the in the lead. But the first paragraph is a horrible history introduction, Mentioning any names in the first paragraph is unfortunate. It gives the impression that a cuisine was invented by some dude instead of being a diverse set of origins. Anyway I would fix this myself but I’m neither French or am experienced editor and I would probably make the French mad 78.115.148.30 (talk) 14:27, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why are the names of common ingredients listed in french instead of english?

There's no difference between the english and french notion of beef, it's useless to write it out in both languages. 46.107.73.85 (talk) 17:07, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
