Les spécialités culinaires lyonnaises – du culturème gastronomique local au culturème gastronomique national

Abstract

The culinary specialties of Lyon – from the local gastronomic cultureme to the national gastronomic cultureme The article deals with the question of Lyon specialties as French “gastronomic culturemes”, as well as with the presentation and definition of Lyonnais dishes offered in typical restaurants, known as “Bouchons Lyonnais”. Each culinary specialty name carries a story and expresses a tradition: local, regional or national. We are going to ponder about the context in which Lyon culturemes with a culinary connotation appeared, about the evolution of the terms in use, and finally, about their presence, throughout history, in the French cultural landscape.
