A to Z Nourriture



First, a moment to remember Notre Dame... The end of one era  and a beginning of a new...



Now, on to our post...
Nourriture, (pronounce noo-ri-ture) Food in English, is something the French are famous for, with good reason. I love, love, love to eat in France, even if sometimes what they think is delish, I think is disgusting! I’m sorry, I don’t do snails. Yes, I know, I’m missing out, but sorry. Just don’t do them.
Foie gras special as aperitif, Toulouse
But I do eat duck. I’ve also eaten gizzards, which I’d never tried before, and many other things. But mostly cheese and the pastries is what I miss when I come home. The cheeses here are not the same and the variety, well, it is getting better in the US, but still pales in comparison to France’s selections as do the pastries, which aren’t too sweet or filled with lots of chemicals. Just my preference. So, I’m posting a few photos of different dishes, shops, etc., all having to do with food in some way. I hope you enjoy them! Bon Appetit!

  2. when I moved back from France to England and opened a restaurant, my menu was very much influenced by food I'd enjoyed there - including snails!

  5. Prayers to Paris today.
    Very colorful photos of delicious-looking food. My family raised chickens so I have eaten gizzards and most other parts of the fowl. (As my father said, "All except the cluck.")
