But even though Rome established rule on the land of Greece and declared the end of Greece, this was only superficial.

This simply means that the country of Greece was destroyed.

Greek civilization has not been cut off.

Just like in the history of China, from the beacon of King You of Zhou to the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, to the rise of Qing troops into the pass, although the countries in the Central Plains were destroyed, the inheritance of China was not broken.

The influence of civilization is very terrible.

Although the Romans conquered Greece by force, they were deeply influenced by Greece in civilization.

The result was that because of the high prosperity of various Greek regimes, the Romans continued to learn from Greece.

Several years later, the Greeks were still Greeks, but the Romans learned Greek culture after conquering Greece and turned all Romans into Greeks.

And it is precisely because Rome achieved great strength in learning Greek civilization that this huge empire lasted for thousands of years from the beginning of its establishment in BC to the complete demise of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome in the 15th century!

At that time, the power of the Roman Empire almost covered the entire Europe, and France was one of them.

This allowed Greek civilization, including dietary habits, to spread throughout Europe, setting the tone of European diet.

This naturally spread Greek civilization to the Gauls who lived in France at that time.

However, relying solely on these, French food is still not enough to be the representative of Europe.

The real and most critical reason is the geographical environment of France.

France has a unique geographical location.

Even now, France is still the largest agricultural country in Europe, and the high-level estates for planting grapes and making wine are numerous in France.

Soil suitable for planting will make France's fruit and vegetable varieties and grain production oversupply.

Moreover, France faces the sea three times, borders the Mediterranean to the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the English Channel to the northwest, facing Britain.

Rich marine food and rich French recipes.

With sufficient food, there is no need to worry about starvation. The French will naturally strive for excellence in "eating".

It was precisely because of this unique geographical advantage that Rome conquered Greece and Europe, and brought Greek civilization to France in disguise, that French food was able to stand out.

Coupled with the romantic feelings of the French, in the production of food, we strive for excellence while paying more attention to the quality and mood of the food. Finally, we formed the French cuisine with a unique style today.

The most prominent one is the production of French cuisine in sauces, which is the pinnacle.

Foie gras sauce is the representative of French sauce dishes!

What Tang Ming is going to make at this moment is foie gras sauce.

As the origin of Western civilization, Greece

However, civilized France has good natural conditions.

Moreover, with the highly developed French economy and the popularization and perfect 7-hour working system, plus the public break for nearly 150 days a year, even ordinary workers have a lot of time to enjoy life in France.

The most important point is that the meal time of all classes in France is almost fixed, and usually there is about one and a half hours of meal time at noon and is not recorded in working hours.

This has led to sufficient meal time in France, including the lower-level workers.
