I can hear a Frenchman somewhere hon-hon-honing about the fact that our food culture is so pitiful, we have convinced ourselves we actually like eating an overrefridgerated supermarket sandwich out of a cardboard box and calling it lunch.
Have you ever had a french supermarket sandwich, hen? They're fucking awful. He's not right
Consider two people: one getting ready salted crisps, a BLT and a San Pellegrino, the other a spicy chicken pasta pot, the hard-boiled egg two-pack and a banana Yazoo. Which one would you rather have as your babysitter?

Continental supermarkets on average tend to be worse than ours in terms of value and choice. I think middle class people go on holiday to resort style destinations and visit the French equivalent of a Waitrose and then believe that every supermarket is better there.
