In the French cuisine, pastries and croissants are highly appreciated and served as snacks as much as desserts. They can be sweet or salty, depending on your personal taste, and are usually served in-between meals or as a replacement for breakfast for people in a hurry. The filings may consist of mushrooms, grounded meat, cheese, fruit jams, chocolate and vanilla. Croissants, French doughnuts and French muffins, are served hot in fancy restaurants, usually with coffee and milk. Other snacks found in the French cuisine, are the figs with herbed goat cheese, congolais (coconut biscuits), and ham wrapped in bananas. Cheese in its many variations and forms, can be served as snacks any time, usually with particular type of wines. Tarts make for a great snack, and usually are sprinkled with coconut flakes and served crunchy. French baguettes and brioches with different filings are great as snacks and very easy to carry around.
