Foods in France
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.
