According to the French newspaper L'Equipe, Olympic athletes found the amount of food offered to them in the Olympic Village insufficient, especially eggs and meat. In addition to the insufficiency, details such as raw meat caused great surprise.
Following the athletes' complaints that the food for breakfast was rationed and insufficient, the companies supplying food to the Olympic Village made statements on the subject.
It seems that the entire food organization, especially the breakfast organized by Michelin-starred chefs Amandine Chaignot, Alexandre Mazzia and Akrame Benalla, will be reconsidered.
Because despite the promise of a Michelin-starred service, this has cast a shadow over the Paris Olympics in terms of food.
The decision of the UK, which is not well known in the world gastronomy arena, to send chefs from London is actually bad news for France, which is known for its great food culture.
Trying to serve 15,000 athletes in the main restaurant with a capacity of 3,300 people in the Olympic Village seems like a big planning mistake.
INADEQUATE BREAKFAST, MEDIOCRE FOOD
The lack of eggs, the backbone of breakfast, the improper cooking of meat, a staple of the athlete's diet, as well as the poor quality products and inadequate quantities of food from Carrefour, the company responsible for the supply of fresh produce, have all contributed to the mediocrity of meals and meals, to the surprise of the Olympic athletes and the world.
Sodexo Live!, the official catering partner of the Olympic Village, confirmed to the French sports newspaper L'Équipe that certain products, such as grilled meat and eggs, were in "very high demand" and wrote in a recent statement that "volumes will be increased to meet the needs of the athletes."
Athletes staying in the Olympic Village will be served meals throughout the Olympic Games, which end on August 11.
The Olympic Games, which France will host after 100 years, will kick off on July 26 with an opening ceremony on the Seine River, which flows through the capital Paris.
The Olympic Games will be held with the participation of approximately 10,500 athletes.
