Last French meal
They sell wine at the airport pizza place! I love France. Had to try it. Look at this classy meal 🙂
Profiteroles
I’m not really sure what these are other than knowing they are called profiteroles. But it was pastry and chocolate and good.
Pistachio croissant
Like all the pastries I had in France, this one was amazing. You could really taste the pistachio. It was divine.
Sugar Cubes
I haven’t seen real sugar cubes in a while. There were two in this little package which I thought was so cute. One of my French friends saw this picture and says, “Yeah, I guess you don’t see the cubes in the States that much.” He mentioned that’s mostly what they have in restaurants there,…
French lunch
I decided to try the meat pate. It was actually quite good. We also learned that when you order “cheese and potatoes” you get cheese. And you get potatoes. It’s up to you to put them together 🙂
Tunisian bakery
Saw this Tunisian bakery and the desserts looked scrumptious.
French flower market
We stopped by a small little flower market. Lots of cute things like these little roses. I loved the arrangement of these pretty watering cans. Would love to have something like that in my own garden. More pictures . . .
Menu translations
There were some interesting menu translations. Sweat pan cakes? I had one actually and it was delicious. Or perhaps you would like some cock stew? (Yes, I know that is the literal translation but for silly Americans it still sounds funny since I think the dish is technically made with hens, not roosters.)
Marzipan Pig
Saw this adorable marzipan pig in the store and had to get it. He was filled with a chocolate fig mixture. And he was quite good.
Almond croissant
This was a delicious almond croissant. I was so disappointed that they were out of chocolate ones, but then I got a surprise–there was chocolate in this one! Even better than a plain chocolate croissant. Definitely one of the best croissants I’ve ever had.
