Best answer:

Answer by Katie B
french breakfasts are fairly simple – some leftover baguette with butter and jam, coffee, and maybe some juice.

lunches include croque monsieur sandwiches (ham & cheese dipped in egg batter and griddled), quiche and salad, and other light fare.

dinner varies – steak tartare and potatoes lyonnaise are some examples.

desserts include pastries (which the french are famous for) and fruit ices.
