List: New Things I Ate in France

We had a great time on our honeymoon in France. I'm sure most of you have read about it on Sadie's blog . She has all the pictures.

Here's a list of things I ate in France that I had never had before.
  1. Pork Terrine - I didn't order this, but the waiter brought it to me anyway. I ate it because it was easier than trying to explain it to a French guy. It kind of looked like canned cat food.
  2. Pain au chocolate - the French sure now how to cook pastries.
  3. Coq au vin - apparently this is an old rooster cooked in wine broth. It was really good.
  4. Beef jaw - I ate this at one of our nicest meals in a small restaurant in Saignon. I knew it was beef, but didn't know exactly what it was until Sadie told me. Of course, she knew what I was eating all along.
  5. Duck - this was served in a sort of pastry and was probably the best thing I ate.
  6. A pizza with an egg on it.
  7. Crepes - I had a couple with Nutella and one sucre citron crepe. And no, they're not little bitty pancakes.
  8. Nougat - "Nu-gah" - our hotel had a basket of these little candies in the lobby along with jars of marshmallows and gummy candies.
  9. Club Sandwich
  10. Pomme frites - "real" French fries. mmmmmm!
