The Perfect French Dinner Party
Rosencrans Baldwin (what a name!) tries to determine what makes the perfect French dinner party for Afar Magazine. Along the way, he roughly settles on three principles:
First, any ingredients needed to come from some part of France, ideally the local area. For example, a choice might be made in the north to cook with butter, in the south to use oil, or, in the west and east, to stick with cream. Next, no matter what was cooked, the meal must be savored, not just shoveled into your mouth. Last, the meal shouldn’t be eaten alone.
There's a lot more fun details in Baldwin's article, including some wonderful descriptions of the dinner parties.
