Before starting today's push, please think back to your friends, are you surrounded by various "French"?
Go shopping, the most popular thing in the store is the Floral French dress; draw a beautiful makeup, put on lipstick, which is called French big red lips; do nail art, the clerk will tell you: Our recent French nail art is very popular Oh...
It seems that "French" has become synonymous with fashion, sophistication and style.
Whatever it is, just add the word "French" to it.
What do the "French" French people think of such "French" demonstrations every day...
Today, Xiaobian will take you to take a look at it, although it is named "French", but it does not come from France!
french fries
(French fries)
When I was a child in English class and did conversations, one of my favorite words was: "I like French fries and hamburger!" ”
Although the name is "French fries", Belgium and France are inseparable when it comes to the origin of French fries.
Belgium insisted that it was the birthplace of fries: from the 18th century onwards, Belgians living by the sea, faced with the scarcity of the sea in winter, began to replace fish with fried potatoes, thus creating this popular cuisine around the world.
France is not to be outdone: During the French Revolution, small vendors selling French fries appeared near Pont Neuf, which we have clearly documented!
However, while the two countries are fighting for the birthplace, the Americans have already silently tied "America" and "French fries" together through American fast food; the British have further developed the Fries through the "national dish" fish and chips.
Compared with the United Kingdom and the United States, belgian and French fries missed a good time to "go out of the circle", and the light was gradually covered.
French Bulldog
(French Bulldog)
The French Bulldog is a popular dog breed with a cute appearance and a mischievous personality.
However, The Fadou is actually a descendant of the English Bulldog.
Around 1850, lace workers living in Nottingham, England, emigrated to Normandy, France, and brought their own bulldogs to France, where they immediately crossed with other breeds of dogs and eventually became the image we know today.
French manicure
(French manicure)
Friends who love nail art are certainly not unfamiliar with French nail art.
Unlike the exaggerated and brightly colored nail art, this nail art is characterized by the use of white nail polish, drawing a circular arc at the front of the nail, natural and delicate.
When I first saw a French nail art, I stupidly asked: Why are this person's nails so white?
In fact, this popular nail art was an American creation: in the 1970s, makeup artists invented this unique look for Hollywood movie stars. At that time, "French fashion" was popular, and in order to make this nail art "rub heat", it was also named "French nail art".
French toast
（Pain perdu / French Toast）
French toast is definitely one of the editor's favorites in breakfast: the bread soaked in egg liquid seems to be reinvested into the soul after being fried, becoming golden and soft, with a buttery aroma.
Eating a piece of French toast in the morning is like beating chicken blood all morning.
There is such a delicious toast, and the person to thank should be the Romans. Because during the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD, the Romans began to make this toast. They process the leftover bread with eggs and milk, fry them in a pan, and serve them with honey.
This made the editor think of egg fried rice, which is also made of overnight rice to re-inject the soul of the leftovers. It seems that in the handling of leftovers, whether East or West, everyone has spent a lot of thought.
croissant
(Crescent)
Isn't it too much to say that croissants are one of the souls of French breakfast?
Too late to eat in the morning, buying a freshly baked croissant at a roadside bakery and a cup of coffee is a scene that could not be more everyday in France.
Croissants are regarded as a French classic by the French. Burger King has previously launched an ode to burger: replace bread with a croissant bag with cheese and bacon. After the news reached France, it was scolded by French netizens.
however! In fact, croissants originated in a pastry shop in Vienna, Austria. To celebrate the victory at the Battle of Vienna in 1683 and the withdrawal of the Ottoman Empire, the local pastry shop developed the bread, which was specially modeled after the crescent moon on the Ottoman flag. Croissant also means "crescent moon" in French, from which the French name of croissants comes from.
In 1770, the Austrian princess Marie Antoinette married Louis XVI, which officially brought croissants to France. Subsequently, the croissant bun took root in France and became a traditional French breakfast.
French long kiss
（French Kiss）
What else can French think of besides eating?
And romance?
One of the masterpieces of French romance, it must be the French long kiss. Open your mouth to take advantage of the deep kiss of your tongue, sexy and exciting.
However, the matter of "throwing the other person's lips with the tongue" is actually not a French invention.
Around the 15th century BC, kissing with an open mouth appeared in Sanskrit books, and in the 3rd century AD, the ancient Indian "love book" Kama Sutra also described the process of tongue kissing in detail, indicating that at that time, the ancient Indian people had already mastered this technique in their exploration.
How did tongue kisses relate to the French?
This brings us to the Americans again.
During World War I, American and British soldiers in France noticed a phenomenon: the little sisters in France were very direct, proactive, and open!
So, even though tongue kisses have existed before this, they still call this passionate kiss "French Kiss."
Although the term "French long kiss" has spread all over the world over the past few decades, there has never been a proper name in France to describe such a kiss. It wasn't until 2014 that the French dictionary Le Petit Robert included the word "galocher" specifically for french long kisses.
