Thanks for the video. Maybe if you could explain what kind food they are (like you did for some dishes) & what each word means for the dishes, it would be a lot more helpful. Thank you!

[@Street_French]

Ok we'll keep that in mind, thanks!

[@sheliajackson8667]

Yes, that would be most helpful 👍

I ate so well when I was in France. Everything there was a work of art, the food included. Hope to return soon.

"Bourguignon" being an adjective meaning "from Burgundy" (French region). Bouillabaisse is a fish stew, like "bœuf bourguignon" is a kind of beef stew. "Daube" is also a kind of stew. "Choucroute" cognates to the German "Sauer kraut" (sour cabbage), since it is primarily fermented cabbage,though the whole dish comes with A LOT of sausage and meat. "Confit" has a broad meaning, depending on whether you are talking about sweet or savory food. It can mean candied fruit for instance, but here it means meat preserved in its own fat. "Filet mignon" is actually not a dish but a particular strip of meat, from pork or beef. You can accommodate it in several ways (I like it in a crust, like beef Wellington). A "gougère" is a savory puff pastry from which the dough has been mixed with Gruyère (hard) type cheese. Sorry to correct you, but "l'hachis" is incorrect, "le hachis" (meaning ground meat) is right. French people don't say "hors d'œuvre" for "petit-four" because "hors d'œuvre" actually means starter or first course in french(we mostly say "entrée" nowadays, not to be mistaken witn the English entree, which mostly means main course). Sorry again, but obvioulsy "rôti" means a roast, baked or on an actual spit. "tartare" is raw meat, usually from beef, though it comes from Tatars, a Slavic people that used to put raw horse meat under their saddle to tenderize it before consuming. "Farcir" means stuffing, whether it be about sweet or savory food. Am I getting too far? It's pretty late anyways. Hope this helps. Cheers!

It seems KZbin won't let me do anymore edits to my comment. I guess I'll have to prepare beforehand ^^

[@Street_French]

ah really cool, thanks for explaining every dish, It'll be very useful for many people here :)

[@julienv6976]

Those words seem complicated but it is just dish words, not very important. There is a meaning behind them but if you can remember all of them and what it looks like it's already good.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

I absolutely loved this!! It made the word geek in me very happy! Thank you.

[@yoyo-dj5bv]

Very helpful explanation! Keep going! Highly appreciated

[@mattc9998]

I'm from the UK and a lot of these dishes are integrated into our diet. I've eaten croque monsieur and occasionally madame since I was young as it's always been available somewhere or another, but you're more likely to find it at trendier/slightly more upmarket cafes. Some dishes from your video that are common in the UK: Duck confit is one of my favourites. We often serve it with an orange, honey or plum sauce. Coq au vin is also really common, fairly upmarket. Foie gras is found at very up market places but pate and toasted bread is a common starter at restaurants. At similar kinds of restaurants you'll often have gratin dauphinois and it's usually called potato dauphinois or potato gratin. I've had it with duck confit quite a few times. Petits fours exist and they are something you'd find at business events, fancy parties etc. Quiche is very, very common too and is often served as a buffet or party food. Also quite popular as part of a lunch meal at home if you're having a sandwichy/light lunch. Fondue was very popular in the 90s and I haven't actually tried it myself but want to. However, raclette is increasingly common as part of hipstery foods. Ratatouille can be found at upmarket places too. Soufflé you can find as a fairly fancy dessert. Crepes are extremely common now and are very, very popular both sweet and savoury, but mainly sweet. Steak tartare is quite common as a posh starter too but the portions are a lot smaller and more expensive than the Parisian brasserie versions. The shepherds pie dish does look very similar too (it's made from lamb). We have another one called cottage pie (made from beef) that is very close as well. It's a very homemade dish.

[@Street_French]

ow cool thanks for this comment :)

[@lolo_persian]

Love it. Thank you.. enjoy watching and learning from you

[@MarianneExJohnson]

Endive au jambon: maybe it's old school, but I heard it is still very popular in Belgium. My mother, who is from Germany, learned the recipe when she was young, I think while she was an au pair in Marseille, and it is one of my favorite things. Came here for a French lesson; now I'm hungry. 😍

[@Street_French]

haha ah cool :)

[@MartaM-666]

I'm so happy I found your videos! I love the way you explain and repeat everything, it makes it so much easier to learn. As I have never learnt French before and know only a few words, your videos are very helpful. Thank you!

Ah trop bien :D

[@BlitzOfTheReich]

galette also refers to a salty crepe with eggs and stuff.

[@Street_French]

ah yeah true ^^

[@hoathanatos6179]

The funny thing is that if you showed a French Canadian un hachis parmentier they would call it un pâté chinois. The origin of the name is heavily contested but the folk etymology is that the Francophones in North America learned about it from Chinese railway workers who were copying English Shepherd's Pie or that it originated in South China, Maine.

[@madahikhan3352]

awesome video, thanks for the pronunciations I know it's not a food channel, but I feel you could've made this into a series of videos and explain what's in the dishes as well, so we would know what to order when in France

[@Street_French]

That's a great idea! I could maybe do that but speaking totally in French ? so it's also an comprehension exercise, what do you think?

[@gPuma]

@@Street_French yea that be awesome, maybe even speak more french than english in your video, just so we can hear it from a native speaker at natural speed , Je suis prêt a écouter la langue française, parle par toi

[@princesscake70]

I was confused when was in France about filet mignon. My French host made something that looked like the picture you provided -- I think it was roasted veal or pork. In the US, when we say filet mignon it refers to a cut of beef the size of pack of cards that is sometimes wrapped in a piece of bacon.

[@thierryf67]

usually, "filet mignon" in France is pork.

[@riezzle]

I enjoyed listening to the pronunciation. I am familiar with almost all the dishes, it helps when you learn French cuisine and French language at the same time. I just need to practice saying them to get the r's and nasal sounds right :)

I have trouble pronouncing the words egg and eggs. At least without looking like a complete crazy person. Thanks a bunch. I have asked for ammonia but they think I'm saying Armagnac!!! I wish I could afford to wash my clothes with Armagnac but for now I need to use ammonia! Thanks for any help you can provide. The word for goose , o i e, how do you get that pronunciation of that word from those three letters? It almost sounds like w a h, in English. But in my limited French ability I cannot get oie as w a h. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[@julienbee3467]

Yes oie is pronounced like wah. Oeuf is pronounced like the a letter in the word about, then you make the f sound. Oeufs is pronounced like the ough sound in the word thoroughly. Oeil and yeux must be tricky too :)

[@Street_French]

for any pronunciation check out google translate, you have a pronunciation button^^

[@Street_French]

Haha thanks for watching ;)

[@paulortiz5047]

I agree it's not difficult to say the word correctly but for so long so many have heard it so improperly pronounced it has become rather imprinted in people's brains! And to pronounce it correctly in America makes it look like you are trying to be- - - - all of that! Which is usually not a good look. Sorry!

[@adinal1958]

Also, in English, crêpe pronounced correctly sounds too close to crap... I would rather hear it pronounced "craype" in English, to avoid confusion.

[@ActionCat2000]

I'm American, but I studied French, so I say it correctly. But sometimes when I do, I get "corrected" XD

Is Québécois similar to European French? I know they use a lot more slang in Quebec. And the accents way different.

[@Street_French]

the base is similar, but then there's different syntax, words, expressions etc... and of course they have their slang and we have our slang too ^^ sometimes it can be really challenging for a French person from france to understand someone from Quebec.

[@IvZDaMatrak]

Quebequois is very different from french france, most of french don't understand it. It's not only the accent it's the words and sentences itself that are completely different. You should see Paul Taylor show, he explained he wanted to learn french being living in quebec and he was completely lost the first time.

[@axelwalter4046]

I lived 9 years in France and speak the language fluently, but to be honest, I never heard of "l'aligot" nor "la daube", and I love and know the French cuisine quite well, having lived in 3 different regions and having visited all French regions since childhood. To call a croque-monsieur a "meal" is maybe a bit too much no ? It's more like a snack or a quick lunch bite to me.

[@Street_French]

Ah cool! Thanks for sharing all that with us :)

[@makna1803]

Yeah we eat croque monsieur as a meal for lunch either with frites (fries) or salad more in brasseries rather than restaurants . L' aligot is a dish from l'Aveyron. I'm from Toulouse and each year at winter people from the Aubrac region come sell it at the "marché de noël".

[@DieezahArts]

All regions of France, really? Including the overseas ones? So you must have heard about "le requin à l'étouffée" or about "le matoutou de crabes"... Technically, that's French cuisine too... Although the folks who remain blissfully unaware of the colonialist history of French would rather classify this as Caribbean cuisine... It's so much easier...
