A French picnic ( A pique nique )

The school had an activity where we were exposed to a French picnic out in the park, by Lake Annecy. We had baguettes filled with different kinds of cheese and different kinds of cured hams from this region. It was accompanied by tomatoes, apricots, radishes and lots of French yogurt and a wide selection of juice and wine.
After the picnic, the teachers had prepared an activity in which we had to approach different persons at the park in French and asked them to tell us about different "argot" words we had been given as a homework. It was a fun and practical experience!
Here some French expressions about food.

La Gastronomie: quelques expressions

Avoir l'estomac dans les talons. To be very hungry.
Boire comme un trou. To drink much.

Se taper la cloche. To eat well at a restaurant.
