= = = FOOD AND DRINK != = = =The island's cuisine is best described as somewhere between French and Italian but there are also many aspects which are distinctly Corsican. The earth like style to the cooking takes its inspiration from the land, with fruits and vegetables, cured meats and cheeses.=

==Corsicans take their food and drink very seriously, it is quite common for locals to take a kindly three-course lunch. Asell as the wine they like to keep a high standardness with there food and wine. The most liked traditional dish is wild boar! - Look out for sanglier!, there usually accompanied with pasta or polenta. yum yum!==

>>> And that was the meats used in local dishes! >> The local sea food (yum) On the coast you will find a good selection of fish and seafood although due to reduced fish stocks in the Mediterranean, prices are now fairly high. Look out for red mullet (rouget), sea bream (loup de mer) and crayfish (langoustine). Oysters (huitres) are particularly recommended in the east and trout caught in the unpolluted rivers is a good alternative to meat inland. **Corsica** is the fourth largest island in the mediterranean sea. It is located west of italy, southeast of the French mainland, and north of the island of Sardinia. Corsica is one of the 26 //régions// of France. As a territorial collectivity, it enjoys greater powers than other French //régions//, but for the most part its status is quite similar. Corsica is referred to as a "région" in common speech, and is almost always listed among the other //régions// of France. Although the island is separated from the continental mainland by the Ligurian Sea and is much closer to the Italian than to the French mainland, politically Corsica is part of Metropolitan France. It was once briefly an independent Corsican Republic, until being incorporated into France in 1768. Corsica is famed as the birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte. His ancestral home, Casa Buonaparte, is located there.
