When I heard "cuisine" I confess that I needed to see on google what it was. Generally I say kitchen... but anyways it was a good and interesting podcast. Thank you BBC!
Neil said 'posh means fashionable, smart, expensive and exclusive'. Smart and expensive are separated by a comma, as Neil was listing the similar words. 'Smart' is to look stylish, and 'expensive' means that it costs a lot of money 😊
Is funny because I’m French trying to improve my English pronunciation.. and actually poulet rôti is not the same as fried chicken 😂 our fried chicken is escalope panée
gourmet food ; food which is better quality and more sophisticated than usual and often more expensive. fancy ; special, unusual and decorative pretentious: try to appear more important or clever than they really are
Most gourmet foods are fancy and use posh French names to sound pretentious. However, this might cause some diners to be sarcastic or even turn them off completely.
This should be BBC learning French. Actually，many Frenchmen always say that British do not know what is cooking. However, please treat my Aunt a Gourmet burger, Condi. Indeed, She will take a long flight from Shanghai to San Francisco, so she must be very tied. Thank you, Condi.
There are quite a few French words in this episode, so it might seem more difficult than other 6 Minute English episodes! Listen to it a few more times and check out the transcript here: www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/features/6-minute-english_2024/ep-240125 😊
