Jean-Paul Aron Links French Cuisine to the Guillotine
Original: The Art of Eating in France, by Jean-Paul Aron (1973/1975) If we are to believe Jean-Paul Aron, we owe the rise of Frenc
A passage from Jean-Paul Aron's 'The Art of Eating in France' (1973/1975) is circulating, arguing that French cuisine and the invention of the restaurant owe their rise to the guillotine. Aron claims the Revolution's execution of hundreds of noblemen and women freed their cooks, who then opened restaurants in Paris. Readers are sharing the provocative thesis about how one of the world's great culinary traditions may have been born from revolutionary violence.
Why now: The striking claim that the French restaurant was born from the Revolution's executions is surprising enough to be widely shared.
