The French have rich gastronomical traditions and high standards in regards to food. Nonetheless, there are times, especially in the city, when spending hours in the kitchen simply isn’t practical. As a result, the French have developed their own version of “fast food,” found at Picard. Picard may look like an average grocery store on the outside but inside, only frozen items can be found. Picard sells a wide variety of food and prepared meals, much of which is French cuisine. The ability to purchase les entrées, les plats principaux, and les desserts allow time pressed French city dwellers to enjoy their cuisine without investing the hours usually spent on preparing a French meal from scratch.
