Pain au chocolat is similar but has a chocolate filling.
Lunch is traditionally a leisurely affair, and can have several courses.
The first course, or hors d'oeuvre , is often a salad, or in winter a bowl of soup. A main dish of meat or fish follows, and the meal ends with cheese, fruit, or sometimes a dessert. At around four o'clock, children who have just returned from school might have some bread with jam or chocolate, and a glass of milk. This afternoon snack is known as le go ter . For many French people, the evening meal is a time for the whole family to gather together and talk about their day.
