France-

France is famous for three foods: frog legs, baguettes, and Escargots. Frog legs/Cuisses de Grenouilles are normally consumed hot and prepared with garlic butter, parsley sauce, tomato, garlic, and onion base. The meat of a frog leg is very soft and delicate, mainly eaten in the south of France. In France, baguettes are served as saucers and the sauce covers the entire loaf.  Then, before they finish eating the bread, they take the last small bite and wipe the plate clean with it. Finally, herb butter snails or Escargots de Bourgogne are presented cooked with garlic butter and parsley in their shell, and a skewer is provided. Then they are served on a special Escargot tray. 

United Kingdom-

Three popular foods in the U.K. are fish and chips as number one, coming in at number two bangers and mash, and last but not least their Sunday roast. Fish and chips are usually eaten with tartar sauce by battering fish and then deep-frying the potatoes to go with it. They love to eat it by the sea in the fresh, open air! Bangers and mash or sausage and mashed potatoes are popular with the locals! Sometimes it may have gravy to give the mashed potatoes a bit of flavor and peas to spice it up!
