| A Traditional French Lunch, Monaco |
Americans are perceived as gourmands rather than gourmets; we prefer quantity to quality. While this isn't true for all of us, we certainly do enjoy a good, hearty meal. As part of learning vocabulary about food, we also discuss cultural differences of gastronomy in my classes. Many of my students are convinced that no one offers tastier meals than their favorite fast-food restaurant, but these same pupils are very interested in cooking. Today, I taught them how to make crepes, the thin French pancakes which are filled with fruit and whipped cream. It was a lesson in language, measurements, culture, and cuisine all rolled into one delectable crepe! What a pleasure to witness their success and know that they can easily prepare this treat for their families.
