Food and meal

We  have noticed that often, in american movies, the French are cooks or really concerned about the food quality and nutrition. It’s perhaps a cliché, but directors like to maintain it. It’s a classic representation of the French. It’s as if the directors ask themselves “Do we need a cook in this movie ? Okay, he will be French.” Even if the character is not a cook, the subject of food and cooking is discussed.
In “GreenCard” Georges, a Frenchman living in New-york works as a waiter, cooks for his friends and drinks wine. Furthermore, he is very demanding about food purchased in the supermarket.

These films show the difference between a French meal and an American one. For French characters, the meal is a friendly moment for discussion and mirth.
