Baked Beans In French

Answer 3

True French "Baked beans" are referred to as a 'Cassoulet' (ca-soo-lay) They normally will have a pork product, like sausage or similar, onion and sometimes a tomato based product as well. Your best bet is to order them in a restaurant or family owned bistro when visiting France. They are close in texture to what we know as baked beans here in the USA, flavor is a little different, but that can be attributed to other ingredients used in the cooking process.

Answer 4

If you want beans go to Mexico.
If you want croissants, well you can get those in Mexico as well.
I think that the French are very set in their culinary ways and this is why you can't find baked beans in France.

Answer 5

i just talked to someone who said he had been to france on many occasions and that they do have brown bread and beans - it might not be the SAME as we have here but they do have those things

Answer 6

It's hard to prepare baked beans and brown bread when you're busy surrendering.

Answer 7

They have delcious foods there that are not easy to find here. Why do you find that so surprising? The French are a different culture.
