Notes: The marriage of world trade and native resources makes French cuisine the finest in Europe, if not in the world. In addition, France is famous for its fine wines. One of the country's most popular dishes is Coq Au Vin (Chicken with Wine), a delectable entree made with red wine and mushrooms. Coq au Vin may be served with parslied new potatoes and a green salad. For dessert, serve another French favorite, cheese with fruit.
