Wine is also seen as a side dish, not a normal drink. pictured are syrups, which are added to water, then sweetened to taste.
Real french food is that of military history, and of poverty. pop culture has made up the illusion that all food is pastries and cheese. The reality is that bean cassourole, pease, fresh bread, sandwhiches, a side dish of cheese, and a small glass of wine are much more common in the average diet than pastries, loads of cheese, etc.
