French cuisine is extremely diver,with only the Chine having similar
封面图variety in their food.This variety is supported by the French
passion for good food in all its forms,France's
extraordinary range of different geographical conditions and
climates that support the local production of many types of ingredients (原料),and France's long and varied history.In many ways,an understanding of the culture of French food is an understanding of France itlf.家电团购
Meals range from the very basic,such as the traditional baguette (棍子面包),chee and inexpensive wine,to very elaborate meals that can include a dozen dishes and different wines consumed over veral hours.Obviously,the latter type of dining is hardly ud by most people.However,it is this dining that is typically found in “French restaurants” outside France,giving many foreigners the mistaken impression that French food is heavy and complicated.In fact,much of the French cuisine is fairly simple,relying on highquality fresh ingredients and loving preparation.
小小三峡Almost all the famous French dishes are regional specialties.The French Mediterranean us olive oi
l,herbs and tomatoes in many of its dishes.The cuisine of northwest France us butter,soured cream and apples.The cuisine of northeast France has a strong German influence which includes beer and sauerkraut.Throughout the south in general there tends to be more u of vegetables and fruit (in part due to the favorable climate).
日本方便面Any discussion about the influences on French cuisine would be incomplete without recognizing the historical contribution of Italy to the development of French cooking.In 1533,Catherine De Medicis (a Florentine princess) married a French prince.At this point,France was not known for its food.Catherine brought many Italian chefs with her to France,who introduced to France a variety of dishes,food preparation and dining practices.Although France and Italy obviously have evolved very different food cultures,much of France's current food culture can be traced back to this time.

Robots aid in coronavirus fight
Robots have certain advantages compared to humans: They are efficient,tireless,can be repaired when damaged and they never get sick.This last trait has made them the star during our fight against the COVID19 pandemic.While hundreds of thousands of medical workers have fallen ill dealing with this highly infectious virus and a lot more are forced to stay at home for fear of getting the dia,this isn't a problem for robots.
This is why the COVID19outbreak is en as the “tipping point”—noted The Independent science reporter Anthony Cuthbertson—for robots to start to replace humans in certain jobs.
In areas like hospitals and healthcare facilities,robots are ud to perform highrisk tasks.In China,for example,a hotel in Hangzhou employed a robot named “Little Peanut”to deliver food to people under quarantine.In
Spain,robots are about to be ud to test people for the coronavirus.Ultravioletlightdisinfection(紫外
线消毒) robots are also being widely ud to clean hospital corridors and wards(病房).
“Hospitals around the world are waking up to autonomous disinfection.” Per Juul Nieln,CEO of Denmark's UVD Robots,a leading company manufacturing(制造) disinfection robots,told Forbes.“We can't build the robots fast enough.”
In nonmedical companies,robots are also replacing human employees since they don't have the problem of social distancing and will never take sick leave.Walmart and Amazon,for example,where robots are already ud in sorting,packing and shipping,are planning to increa the number of robots in their facilities.Fastfood chains like McDonald's are not only delivering food with robots in some areas,but also looking to u them as cooks and rvers.
According to futurist Martin Ford,using more robots than human employees can prove to be rewarding for companies—even when the pandemic is over.“People will prefer to go to a place that has fewer workers and more machines becau they feel they can lower overall risk,” Ford told the BBC.
But this sudden surge(激增) in robot demand doesn't mean that they triumph over humans in every aspect.According to Bill Smart,a roboticist at Oregon State University,the human contact between
doctors and patients is still important.Doctors comfort the patients and guide them through hard decisions while robots are only doing routine tasks,like cleaning and giving tests,just to free up doctors and nurs.
It might be true that robots have certain advantages over humans.But they are still condary to human interaction.
