Fromage a trois

On our recent wine-acquiring trip to France, The Husband and I were accompanied by A*, who had also expressed a desire to fill his spare room full of bottles, and enjoy a spot of French cuisine in the process

That's an awful lot of cheese...good grief.

Indeed it is. I wish I had pictures of the Bucket Of Molten Cheese and the Croque Monsieur Of Doom, but I think we were all just a bit too shell-shocked to record the events for posterity.

That fruits de mer made me lol ! The marrow bones made me heave !!

I'm hopeless in France as I don't eat meat or cheese, or drink alcohol ! Will eat fish at a pinch, but not crustacea or shellfish :0( I think I knew I really couldn't get along with my stepfather when I went to lunch with him in Saint Omer and he devoured crab, followed by frog followed by horse - ewwww !!

I imagine that most people, when confronted with the astonishing diversity of life that makes up the Animal Kingdom, marvel at the wonders of nature and evolution and all that. The French seem to be the only nation who think it would go rather nicely with a white wine sauce, or a little garlic butter ;-)

Vegetarians have a difficult time in France too - "Vegetarian food? Duck gizzard salad. There's not much duck in that..." We went to France with a vegetarian once, and I think she ate pizza the whole week!

You're not kidding. Since returning, a lightly boiled egg and a piece of toast has seemed strangely appealing...
