For many, breakfast is the number one meal of the day. It is also a convivial moment that allows you to start the rest of the day off on the right foot. What exactly does a french modern breakfast consist of?
A bit of history about the french breakfast
Breakfast as we know it today did not always exist. Its history begins in the Renaissance when butter bread dipped in milk made its appearance, followed shortly afterwards by coffee which, imported from Turkey, conquered the court of Louis XVI. But it was in the 19th century that the term “breakfast” was first used. In the city, people start the day with toast and coffee with milk or chocolate, while in the countryside they continue to accompany the bread with soup or even wine.
French breakfast as we know it today became a must after the Second World War.
