French Fine Dining - less is more?

When it comes to food, most would agree that the more — the better. When it comes to fine dining, sometimes you need glasses to be able to spot what was served to you on the plate. One of my friends use to say that ordering an expensive meal in a French restaurant would mean you’ll get a mushroom’s head on a mountain of salad. Rest assured you will leave the restaurant more hungry than you were before because all these smells and pictures in the menu will tease your stomach but won’t actually feed you.

French food in general is pretty taste, take for instance their traditional bakery - baguettes and chartres and many other tasty edible thing. I am not a big fan of French kitchen, I’d never ever be able to eat a turtle or a frog, but can’t deny they have some delicious desserts. Unfortunately, as said in the title, French kitchen i all about serving little food on a huge white plate. Take a big white plate, which normally used to serve a turkey, place a few strips of semi-raw meat, chaotically spread a bit sauce and place a few stripes of baked carrot in beacon’s oil. You just made a typical French meal from a typical overpriced Paris restaurant. It’s all about minimalistic design, not about leaving the human stomach happy.
