I've been to Paris a few times - I'm lucky enough to have a sister-in-law who is married to a French man and they lived in Paris for a while and we visited them.
The visit I most remember though was before that with one of my former boyfriends. We did the usual touristy things and not being a particularly adventurous eater I'd managed to steer clear of frogs legs or snails. I was quite pleased with myself on our final meal for ordering in French what I thought was a piece of pork. Imagine my horror when I found out I actually ordered a pig's trotter. I confused piece with pied! It was one of the worst meals I've ever tried to eat and not a mistake I'm likely to repeat.
Oh my! Pig's trotter does not sound very good at all!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I had to giggle!! Paris is a place I have never had any desire to visit. I'm not real fond of Parisian food (yogurt sauces, snails, etc.) and I understand they aren't real fond of Americans. Sounds like you had a good time until that last meal!!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about your Pig's trotter, with Sauerkraut it's delicious ! I have read what Queen Victoria loved to eat, horrendous, a whole pig head !! and it was sitting in the middle of the table !
