I'm japanese. love to watch this. I often eat processed soy products, Tofu and natto. Of course, seaweed, too! My son asked me why we don't have any sweet drinks!
I love shopping in France ;large supermarkets to small independent stores ,fish counters and markets incredible and bre ad shops ,also staff seem to have different attitude seems to me they enjoy their jobs and take pride in their jobs ,👍👍👍
I enjoy (virtually or live) grocery shopping when I travel, it's so fun to see what people enjoy in places other than my home. You certainly have an abundance of lovely cheeses and fruits(that selles sur cher! those apricots!) in your neighborhood! I think a mainstay of my cooking "philosophy" is home cooking and variety!
I'm not a big believer in either organic or local as food consumption rules. That said, what I buy largely parallels your shopping. Rolled oats as a cereal for breakfast occasionally. Frozen veg/ fruit for convenience and in winter. Nuts or popcorn or oatcakes as a snack instead of chips. Ready made meals in the UK are quite good quality and they're helpful to just pull out of the freezer. I'm picky about meat, will generally avoid the mass farmed chicken. Blue cheese is great for dessert and I've just ordered a kilogram of dates to go with it.
As an American who lives somewhere it is legit too hot to bake year round (38°C everyday for the next week), the lack of real bread available near me, when not baked by me, is the worst. Have to drive 15-20 minutes out of the way to get a single loaf for $12. It's unreasonably expensive and difficult to obtain. Also, totally wish we got the 100% lindt bar with orange flavor. My family thinks I'm crazy for eating squares of that bar plain, but it is healthy in small doses and really satisfies the chocolate cravings!
I really miss the delicious baguettes and other baked goods in France. Here in America, it's very hard to find high quality bread or pastries. I finally learned how to make my own but I'm still not patient enough to devote the time to it. It was so nice to be able to get a fresh baguette every morning at the boulangerie or open air market. I can resist all the other ultra-processed foods but not that!
I hate meats wrapped in plastic. I miss the small, high-street butcher shops which were everywhere and wrapped the meat in brown paper and very friendly service, here in NZ.
Hell. Thanks 😊 let me know how it goes! I don't know if I said in my video that the type of cut is from shoulder. I'm going to add this info below my video. Have a nice day
@@easyfrenchdiet Hi. It turned out really well. I guess since veal is not commonly used here in the US, what I got from the butcher was the frozen shoulder cut. It was probably water logged cos there was a lot of water when I tried to brown it. I will have to find a better butcher. But your recipe was soooo good and so simple to follow! Thank you so much🥰
Hello. Thanks for keeping me informed. if the meat loses water maybe you can drain it. I've noticed that it happens sometimes for me with chicken. I don't know why. In this case I cook it a bit and then I drain the water and then I start cooking again. Have a nice day 😊
Hello. The day I buy the bread I slice it and put it directly into the freezer. And when I want to have some for breakfast I just pull out one or two slices the night before and it's perfect the next morning. Or of course You can toast it if you forgot to pull it out the night before. Thanks for watching ☺️
Allow me to disagree... There are no preservatives, nor added sugar in the Fleury-Michon and Marie pre-made meals you show. They're a bit pricey, but you pay for the time you gain.
The food in the USA is a disgrace. Quality and flavor is lacking. I haven’t bought a decent strawberry in decades no matter how much I spend. The high end stores are only high in price. Lack of pride, craftsmanship and integrity of our producers!
Hello. Thanks for watching. Yes an endive is a kind of chicory salad. In France we have a lot of recipes. For instance it can be roasted with ham and cheese or served raw in salad with beets and walnuts and vinaigrette dressing. I like every recipe. Have a nice day 😊
All good choices for me except the beef….i do not eat beef…and very little pork or chicken. I would consider me a pescatarian. Good for the vegetables and fruit too.
Hello. From a nutritional point of view, beef contains the highest level of 100% bioavailable heme iron and is the best source of vitamin B12 both essential for manufacturing blood cells and also for the normal functioning of the brain. but it's your choice of course. Have a nice day

Hello. 12 is indeed very expensive. We do our best with what is accessible. Have a nice day 😊

Hello. Yes lukely we still have these butchers in Paris. Have a nice day 😊
Thank you for all your vids. At this very moment I’m making blanquette de veau from your channel for the first time. Hope it turns out well😂.

@@easyfrenchdietgreat idea! Will do this next time. It tastes sooo good even a week later😊
Can you please do a video on how to freeze and defrost bread if I don’t want to use a microwave.
Hello. The day I buy the bread I slice it and put it directly into the freezer. And when I want to have some for breakfast I just pull out one or two slices the night before and it's perfect the next morning. Or of course You can toast it if you forgot to pull it out the night before. Thanks for watching ☺️
A single slice of bread takes about half an hour or so to defrost - rocket science doesn’t come into it…
Or You can toast it if you are in a hurry. Have a nice day

Can you eat those lemons after they've been cooked in that chicken casserole???
Hello. Yes I eat a bit of lemon with my meat when they are cooked in the oven as they are a bit candied and delicious. Have a nice evening 😊
@@easyfrenchdiet Thank you for that! I'll definitely try it

Hello. I understand. It must be difficult on a daily basis. Thanks for watching ☺️ Have ave a nice evening.
Love your videos! Can you describe what an Endive is?
Hello. Thanks for watching. Yes an endive is a kind of chicory salad. In France we have a lot of recipes. For instance it can be roasted with ham and cheese or served raw in salad with beets and walnuts and vinaigrette dressing. I like every recipe. Have a nice day 😊
In the UK it's called chicory. Nice in salads.

What type of fish do you eat?
Hello. I eat pollack and hake in general as they stay relatively inexpensive when they are frozen. Sometimes salmon too. Thanks for watching ☺️
