From the top:

Creme Caramel.  Ordered by my brother-in-law, but passed around the table for everyone to try.

Onions from a street vendor in Dives-sur-Mer.

Seriously the moldiest green yucky looking cheese I have ever seen.  But for sale in a shop window.

Mise en bouche from “Le Table de Louis” restaurant.  Mussels with tomatoes & creme fraiche.

My salad course.  Something like ceviche salmon with onions, capers and a vinaigrette dressing.  “Bocal de saumon façon hareng.”   The menu was all in french so I only sort of knew what I was ordering. It was all fantastic.

Andy’s main course. Some sort of red fish over spinach and a toasted cheese wafer.  “Sablé de mimolette vieille et petits rougets.”

Andy’s Dessert.  Grapefruit and custard on a shortbread kind of cookie with lime sorbet. “Sablé aux segments de pamplemousse, crème mousseline vanille.”

My dessert. 3 layers: apple jelly, rice pudding, spicy baked apples. “Riz au lait aux pommes caramel, gelée aux épices.”

Iced vanilla lattes and shortbread cookies.

Returned

We just returned from 10 days in France and England.  Jetlagged (you can tell this by the fact that I am blogging this at 5 am), tired and full of stories and photos.  Here are just a few snapshots from our adventures.
