France
Long French Lunch and Dinners
What I will miss most in France are the lingering lunch and endless dinners that last for hours. French conversations that gave me "nosebleeds" {Nosebleed is a joke, an expression we use in the Philippines to describe having difficulty expressing oneself in another language. Excessive thinking will cause the brain to hemorrhage thus leading to nosebleed}.
Here's a food diary of what kept us preoccupied during these long lunches and dinners:
 |
| Aperitif: Salmon on Toasts |
 |
| Ah The Foie Gras |
 |
| Aiguillette de Boeuf avec des châtaignes, des haricot verts et des pêches |
Top of rump cuts of beef with mushroom cream sauce, chestnuts, green beans and slices of peaches with a really good bottle of white wine. |
| Tuna Pate and Foie Gras |
 |
| Fish with legumes butter & wine cream sauce |
 |
| La langue de boeuf |
There were cheese plates and countless desserts that followed.
Bon Appetit!
Love & light,
Arni
