Guide to France

French cuisine varies depending on the season. In summer, salads and fruit bowls are popular because they are refreshing, fruit is grown almost everywhere and is cheap. Greengrocers prefer to sell their fruits and vegetables at lower prices if necessary, rather than letting them rot in the heat. At the end of the summer, a lot of mushrooms grow and are stewed all over France. The hunting season begins in September and lasts until February. All game is eaten, often in complex dishes that celebrate hunting success. At the turn of winter and spring, crustaceans are on top, and oysters also appear in restaurants in large quantities. Crayfish, for example, have a short fishing season and catching them out of season is illegal.
