We had it salade de haricots verts, made with lots of échalotes in the vinaigrette and pommes de terre sautées!

I think that changes in cuisine in the UK reflect changes in education, but about a generation behind.

In my day, only about 2.5% of the population went to University and maybe 0.1% of the UK population had any idea of good food.

Today roughly 50% of the UK population (age group) goes to University and perhaps 2-3% of the population has some idea of what good food is like.

I wonder what % of the population of Glasgow or of Birmingham have ever tasted something like chicken braised with pumpkin. I am absolutely certain that it is infinitesimal in comparison with the % of Aveyron peasants who have had some decent foie gras or who could discourse on the relative merits of the varios producers of Roquefort.

In France I am convinced that (at least outside the big cities) an absolute minimum of 50% (probably more like 90%) have a good idea of what good food is like (even if they can't always afford to put it on their table).

Agreed chessfou - but the fact is that the UK has progressed whereas France has stayed still (or given the recent McD surveys - gone backwards)

Naaaa ..

Ou va t'on ? La cuisine francaise ne manque pas de créativité, il y a bcp de petis chefs trés inventifs mais peut être moins médiatiques.

And French cuisine evolves , but is not ready to abandon its secular tradition of superb food...

Personally I'm not too keen on " nouvelle cuisine" , to my stubborn French mentality it is too often a snobbish mixture of things that do not go  together well .. 

But that"'s only me . Blush [:$]

Chocolate was cooked with meat by the mayans and incas...hardly nouvelle cuisine.  I agree frenchie, there are some wonderful innovative french chefs but, equally, there are a lot of french restos that produce very predictable, boring food.  Confit, sauteed potatoes and green beans are ok the first time - but they are the mainstay of every menu near us.  Sorry frenchie but a lot of french food is over-rated and over priced.
