From a real-life diplomatic moment involving former French President François Hollande to centuries-old traditions of royal spectacle, we'll explore how food has long been used to shape public image, signal power, and reflect national identity. Along the way, we unpack France’s deep connection to agriculture, the importance of seasonality, and why something as simple as asparagus can carry unexpected weight.
