Everyone who has lived in France knows that chicken is not a "noble" in France, which is known as the "rooster country". Chicken is almost the cheapest kind of meat. But interestingly, in many traditional French families, especially in large rural families, eating chicken is a serious matter. Not only should it be eaten on weekends, but it is best for the whole family to eat it together.

The reason can be traced back to the famous French king Henry IV in 16th century. He was originally a small and poor monarch in southern France, and became king of France by virtue of Wen Tao's military strategy. When France took office, it was still a mess. The people worked all year round, but even the cheapest chicken could not afford it. Henry IV vowed to "let farmers have a chicken in every pot every weekend". After years of reform, the French economy has improved, and the lives of ordinary people have really improved a lot, and they can basically eat chicken at ordinary times. From then on, the French began to treat the weekend of eating chicken as a holiday.

To commemorate Henry IV, many southern French cities are still selling a kind of colored fruit candy called "Henry IV". Many traditional families still adhere to the tradition of eating chicken on weekends. The famous saying "Let farmers have a chicken in every pot every weekend" has also been written into primary school textbooks and passed down from generation to generation.
