Join us grocery shopping on a food tour of rural France. We’ll do a food tour in a local supermarket and in a market, showcasing some of the craziest products you can find. We even found products forbidden in North America!
for eggs and etc products they not refrigerated because in europe , eggs are neither washed nor refrigerated in order to preserve their natural defenses and prevent condensation. That's why you never find them in the refrigerated section.
Well now I'm hungry and the bakery only opens in 20 minutes so I'm totally blaming you for that ! I'm glad you enjoy our way of life, and our products ! Let's go get my croissant now
Pigeon and pigeon meat have somewhat fallen out of fashion, but it's worth noting that in the Middle Ages, almost every house had a dovecote; it was one of the cheapest and easiest sources of meat to obtain. If my memory serves me right, this meat was permitted during the many fasting days observed by the Catholic Church throughout the year. Fish, frog legs, and snails, as well as pigeon, were also "acceptable" sources of animal protein… And back then, they didn't mess around with the rules. When cooked properly, it's very tasty, but it's full of small bones and very low in fat; however, I advise against giving it to small children (because of the risk of choking on the bones).
As you are in Sarthe, you have to have rillettes. And not the ones from the supermarket, get the ones from a charcuterie. Rillettes + cornichons + bread + a glass of red = rrraaaahhhh….
i am French living in Ireland, the choice in local supermarkets is sooooo bad. I never find anything i would like. A lot of australian and new zealand shit wine though…….
Pigeon is one of the family recipes from my grandma for the end of the year feasts. First you turn it on a flame to get rid of all feather remnants then you slow cook it with butter and lardons (bacon) + the veggies: green peas, oignons and a lettuce center + herbs (Provence or whatever you like). It's venison so expensive & gamey therefore not for every day.
Beware about pumpkin in France. Because we use to cultivate some cousin of pumpkins called "Coloquinte" that are toxic. They are from the same family plant called "cucurbitacea" and Coloquintes are breeded for their aparance and not the presence of a toxic called "cucurbitacine". It can kill you or empoisone you for a weeks of pain, loosing your hairs etc … (similar effects to irradiation, but less deadly).
To recognize them on your market : If you see the name "ornementation" (same than in english) it mean there only purpose its for decoration. Or simply "coloquinte".
All good cheese is made from whole, unpasteurized milk ( if not, it would not turn into cheese!!). Straight from the cow into the cheeses making process. Pasterization is good for fresh milk that you want to stay fresh for days ( and transport). Eggs do not need refrigeration ( except once refrigerated, don't go back).

Hi. Although not exclusive of others, the most likely place to find pigeon meat in France is in North-African restaurants, especially from Morocco (Tunisia and Algeria have their own version though): pigeon pastilla is a sweet-savory pie made of crepe-like layers, slow-cooked pigeon meat in spices, and almonds. It's a very popular recipe which can be used as a starter or a main dish. Cheers😉
Bonjour, la loi française ne permet pas (pour le moment) aux supermarchés de vendre des médicaments. Ni même aux parapharmacies gérées par ces mêmes supermarchés. C'est pourquoi vous n'en trouverez que dans les pharmacies.
Je mange beaucoup de fromage et sur tout au lait cru, depuis + de 50 ans et je me porte comme un chêne. Le pigeon est excellent, je peux en manger un à moi tout seul.
Bonjour, jolie video et projet de vie. Je vois que vous vivez près du mans, bienvenue les voisins! Si vous avec le temps je vous conseil de visitez "les alpes mancelles". Il y a plusieurs villages très charmants où il y a un peu de relief et de beaux paysages avec de belles promenades.
You can argue semantics but legally France doesn't have colonies anymore the last one, Djibouti, got it's independence 48 years ago. Any other dependence out of metropolitan France are labeled oversea territory and any inhabitants are fully French citizen. Morocco was never a colony it was a protectorate (again you can argue just a variation on the same theme). As you were going by that stand they advertised a Rougail, a delicious sausage stew from the isle of the Réunion that is both a full fledged department of France but a region as well, incidentally also a terroir. And I would highly recommend you tried their specialties, acras (fish cakes), bouchons (Asian style dumpling), bonbon piment (spicy nuggets), rhum arrangé (Rhum flavored with fruits and spices) really you can't go wrong as the name suggests this island unites African, Asian and Indian people and influences.

hubbard squash
Could you show us the yogurt aisle next time?
Du mimosa près du Mans ? Good luck !
Je le crois pas les mecs ils visitent un marché comme tu visites un musée et ils achètent à bouffer comme on achète des souvenirs de vacances 😂
Let us know what you would like to see next 😊

Eat. the. pigeon.
Oh you live near Le Mans. Enjoy your stay there.
10:10 "french colonies", seriously?
That's racist.
overseas territories/departements.
Would the US call Alaska, Guam, or puerto Rico "colonies"?
i am French living in Ireland, the choice in local supermarkets is sooooo bad. I never find anything i would like. A lot of australian and new zealand shit wine though…….
puisque vous êtes près du Mans , je vous conseille " le cheval blanc " dans le village de CHange . délicieux et pas cher du tout 😊😊😊

Cheddar is proper cheese. Everything else is pretentious crap.
In the Netherlands you can find wine and beer in the supermarket.

I am French. I only buy raw milk cheeses. There is a slight risk but it’s worth it. I am 77 years old and I have never had a problem.😀

Homemade faiselles + jam or "coulis de framboise", blond or "ginger" sugar cane … Best dessert ever.

Bienvenu en France !
C'est tourné au grand angle celà déforme l'image et ne correspond pas à la réalité.
I did many markets in France in my life and never saw a Morocco street food shop, it's just a very good idea !
Are you kidding ???
Title says "shopping in countryside" but the video is about shopping in huge supermarkets in cities.
raw milk cheeses are the best.
Il n'y a pas de pharmacie section en France dans les magasins. Vous n'êtes pas médecin, faites vous soigner
9:54 c'est du mimosa, c'est un arbre qui fleurit en janvier
You can now find raw milk cheese in the USA for at least the last couple of years.
The squash looks like our Blue Hubbard squash in the States. The French name is Courge Blue Hubbard.

As a French, I can tell that everything explained in this video is true and stats in a simple manner without any exaggeration. Bon appétit!
Nice video, I really enjoyed it ahah.
Je mange beaucoup de fromage et sur tout au lait cru, depuis + de 50 ans et je me porte comme un chêne. Le pigeon est excellent, je peux en manger un à moi tout seul.
2:48 c’ mon « even if you try a cheese every day ». No French person would buy the cheeses one by one 😊
6:29 7€ les 20 zigounettes

Beautiful and saddly, the EU is working hard to destroy ALL of this! 🙁
For a French, "French Dream" mean something else.
Just type French Dream on youtube… ^^
We can buy wine in supermarkets in Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦

This is my hometown 🙂
Well uh, nice video but this kind of food is unaffordable for most of young people/students who live in cities today.
Probably already said by someone else but "Parmentier" (or more accuretly "Hachis Parmentier") is equivalent to Sheperd's Pie.
Ça c’était un marché extraordinaire. Excellence

I don’t need any guts to eat raw-milk cheese, but I’d need a damn lobotomy to swallow BHA, BHT, Red 40, Yellow 5 and 6, or titanium dioxide.
