The typical meal in france contains more dishes and smaller portions than the typical meal in the us. true or false?

Bonjour

TRUE

At home, or in a restaurant, the typical meal in France contains  =

une entrée  (hors d'œuvres)

un plat + vegetables

fromage

dessert

Some time ago, for  meals as wedding meals, or ceremony meals as baptism meal, there were even more dishes as fish and meat were served, => the "entrée",  then "fish" , then  "meat" etc... about three hours sitting on a chair !!

But portions are reasonable

hope this helps ☺☺☺
