If there's one thing the French know how to do well, it's food. Food is more of an art (and for some, a quasi religion) in France, and so I knew I would be
remiss in my duties to readers of paris-eiffel-tower-news if I did not go and
seek out Paris's finest gastronomic glories for you. Sampling the following is
not an option ??it's a must!!!
Real French Bread
In France, almost anyone will tell you that Poilane bread is the pinnacle of Parisian
baking. First established 75 years ago Cheap Jerseys Online , Poilane is now run by Lionel Poilane, who took over the business from his father
about 30 years ago and boomed it: the shop sells 15,000 loaves of bread each
day, i.e. 2.5% of all bread sold in Paris, by weight.
The secret of Poilane bread is steeped in tradition. Lionel himself conducted an extensive
research project on the 'ethnography', as he put it himself Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping , of his craft. Poilane bread is made from wheat grown only on farms employing sustainable techniques with sea salt from the French
Atlantic Coast. It's baked for over an hour in Poilane's specially designed
wood-burning ovens, and will easily keep for a week in its original white and
green paper bag.
Poilane bread traces its heritage back to the genuine regional French bread, but the business is remarkably modern. Today, the family
manages a new shop in London and a 'manufacture' on the outskirts of Paris
producing the goods that are sold in more than 2,500 restaurants and shops in
Paris alone, and about 20 countries around the world. Poilane is one of the few
'global bakers' today Cheap Jerseys China , taking advantage of the Internet and the large FedEx hub near the
Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport to ship the bread worldwide. The goods land on
dinner tables within 48 hours of their cooking.
The bread itself is decidedly old school: thick, chewy, and rich with a dark, fire-tinged flavor.
Traditional French bread is not the ubiquitous white bread used in baguettes. It
used to be a dark, wholesome stuff eaten by poor people when they could not
afford anything else. It almost disappeared from French tables because of its
very history. So much so that the old saying "He ate his white bread..." means
that he mused and fooled around instead of working diligently, and now he's in
for hard times (and only dark bread).
After World War II Cheap Jerseys From China , the height of chic was white bread, imported from Austria. Poilane is very unique in that in a city where you can't walk two
blocks without running into a baguette, he refuses to produce any!
Poilane's bread has won him famous fans over the years: Frank Sinatra and Lauren Bacall used to enjoy a loaf from time to time, and Robert De Niro is
a customer.
There's one person in the shop who speaks English, who confirmed taking bread back to the US is no problem.
Poilane's famous bread can be found at 8, rue Cherche Midi Cheap Jerseys , 75006 Paris. The closest metro station is Sevres-Babylone.
Go Organic Parisian Style
Paris is renowned for its local street food markets, which can be found in nearly every one if its quartiers (districts). The Rue Cler
market is a very famous one, the Rue de Levis is another one almost as famous.
The wonderful symbiosis of 'traditional and parochial' with the 'grand and
capital' undoubtedly lends Paris its unique character.
Personally, Parisian street markets appeal to me because they offer a rare respite from the
bland, cookie-cut supermarket retail experience and because, just like the
proverbial box of chocolates in Forest Gump Wholesale Football Jerseys , 'you never know what you're gonna get'. Not only do I always seem to discover something I never even knew existed, but the quality and
freshness of the produce is high and the whole experience in general is less
clinical and more... well, fun.
Parisian open street markets usually operate off touristy .
