Do you know the signs that someone grew up in France? If you grew up in France, there are certain things that only French people will know and understand. Here are 11 signs that show you grew up in France.
A lunch break should not be rushed and French people like to take their time to eat. We consider it to be a basic human right. This is considered an important social time. We like to talk with our family, friends or colleague around food.
Food is taken very seriously in France. One does not joke about this topic without starting an argument. This is part of our culture, and we’re proud of the recognition we’ve got for our cuisine.
Aside from taking our sweet time to eat, we always end our meal with some kind of dessert. It can be a fruit or a pastry. This is one of those little pleasures we allow ourselves to have.
It’s a very common image that foreigners have of the French. I’m not saying that nobody does that, surely some people do, but that’s not the majority of the population. In fact, most people drink their coffee in a mug like the rest of the world.
You’re missing out on something if you haven’t tried it yet. Flavoured syrups are very popular in France. We mainly drink them cold in the summer for a refreshing feeling.
If you’re born in France, you grew up learning about different types of cheese at a young age. It’s because cheese is an essential part of the French meal. It’s eaten after the main course and before the dessert with some bread. French loves their cheese!
French people love to complain. It’s in our DNA and we can do nothing about it. We complain about the government, the weather, our neighbour, our food, pretty much everything.
Wait, you actually pay for it?! We don’t and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
If we disagree with something the government said, we go on strike. As simple as that. We have rights and we are ready to fight for these to be respected.
This song is our football anthem. But if you ask a French person the origins of this tradition or the name of the song, most of them won’t be able to answer. It’s mostly chanted during football matches when we score a goal but it is also used for other events.
OK, I don’t like tapping into stereotypes, but it is true that French people love their baguette and consume it on a daily basis. You can eat it with jam, a cup of coffee, chocolate spread or use it to make a sandwich. It can be eaten with pretty much everything!
