I came back from vacation almost a week ago.
I went to one of the many caffees at work today. That had me think about food
at home back in France. I think my mother is a really great cook and I love all
her dishes. Stuff I can remember eating during this trip, in no particular order:
Andouillette,
Tripes,
Museau de porc,
Omelette aux pommes de terre et chorizo,
Aubergines grillées,
Aubergines farcies,
Pommes dauphines,
Fish soup avec sa rouille,
Pizza with olives, anchovies & cheese,
Many good cheeses for breakfast, including Roquefort, Bleu, Pyrennée, Chevre, Morbier, and others which I don't remember the name,
Blanquette de Limoux,
Muscat de Rivesaltes,
Moscatel Dorado Lopez Jimenez.
The astute reader will notice this is actually a mix of cuisine Normande,
Spanish and Languedoc. That's what I take for granted when I hear "French
food", including the associated variety and freshness. That's also one of the
reasons I have a hard time appreciating so-called "French restaurants" as
authentic. |
