Cultural Tip
In France, the classic ‘sandwich’ is often a simple baguette with ham, cheese, or pâté, while wraps are a more recent, international influence. Saying ‘c’est bon’ is informal and works well in friendly settings, but in a formal restaurant review you might prefer ‘délicieux’ or ‘savoureux’. Also, note that the plural article ‘les’ is pronounced /le/ (the final ‘s’ is silent), which can be tricky for learners.
