8. Claude Monet Made Instagram-Worthy Omelettes
French artist Claude Monet is remembered for painting gorgeous scenes of people living a charmed life in the French countryside and Paris. He was also the founder of the “French Impressionist” style of art. So it’s not very surprising that his breakfast was just as perfect and fancy as his work. He was a major foodie who grew his own produce and herbs, and he would plan out his daily meals in a journal, based on what food he had in season.
Claude Monet’s favorite breakfast was called “Omelette Aux Fines Herbes”- which, if you don’t know, is just egg with some salt, pepper, finely chopped chives, parsley, and whatever other herbs you can get out of your garden. Since he grew his own veggies, Monet probably had a few chickens on his farm to lay his eggs, too. He would sometimes also make some sausage, toast with jam, and a cup of tea to go along with his omelette.
