@gilby722 Nothing like an espresso and a fresh croissant in the Paris morning in a café/patisserie near the Latin Quarter. Indescribable gustatory perfection.
@chienfou@gilby722 Near. There’s too many to not stop at one near the Seine, Champs Elysee, the Tuilleries, the Sorbonne, or with some other view of yet more magnificent morning eye candy. And a baguette with some ham & cheese for an afternoon snack.
I’ll uh, hmm, have the Revolutionary Crêpe, with the blood of the bourgeoisie filling. Please have that waitress, pardon, serveuse over there bring it to me, but make sure to tear off her top to expose her tits, and give her a rifle before she does. If you don’t have a rifle, it’s okay, I brought my own, and she can borrow it.
Ah! The planche de fromages to start, I think, then let’s see… I do like Pot au Feu, but the Lapin à la Moutarde looks interesting… Hmmm, what can you tell me about the Côtelette de Porc d’été? Or, hmmm, Ratatouille Tart… No, wait, I’ll have the Lapin aux Pruneaux, and the Mushroom Bourguignon for my friend here - we can share! A glass of Pinot Noir with that, I think…
And for dessert, the Mousse au Chocolat? Although that Daffodil Cake looks good… No, no the Fromage Blanc & Pistachio Cheesecake. What would you recommend, a Riesling with that?
@aetris Some of us have excellent taste! Last time I was in France a friend and I shared desserts so we could have a little variety. How good do these look!!
Croque Monseur. Funny story. Years ago I was traveling for work in Paris and then our sales manager (who later became our VP) joined me at an outside café for lunch. I ordered a Croque Monseur and he said he’d have one too, but he thought I said “I’ll have a Coke, Monseur.” So I had to explain it was like a sandwich and not a drink.
Also at that same place, some people at a nearby table had a dog with them sitting on the ground (not uncommon there), and they were commanding their dog in French. The sales guy expressed amazement that dogs could learn French too! I think he figured dogs only knew English…
French restaurant? I’m sorry, I went in the wrong door.
Seriously, French food is close to my least favorite international cuisine. It is slightly more likeable than British food. If I am going for something like that it will be Italian, Cajun, Indian, Mexican, Chinese, etc.
A table to sit at please.
@cinoclav traditionalist!
The hell out of there.
Escargot
@kittykat9180 so delectable
@kittykat9180 its all about the sauce in the escargot. That will make or break the dish.
@kittykat9180 yes yes yes please!

And maybe a nice Chianti.
Steak au poivre. Big fan of that.
Toast.
Omelette du fromage

@gilsc2 Get out of my laboratory!
@gilsc2 @pmarin It’s like those French have a different word for everything!
Am I in France? It does. It does not matter, it will be amazing!

@aetris sound of a single gunshot and a body slumping to the floor after the waiter goes back with the order
You people don’t know what good IS!!!
@aetris Some of us have excellent taste! Last time I was in France a friend and I shared desserts so we could have a little variety. How good do these look!!

Caneton Tour d’Argent (Canard de Presse)
Now, that device is a unitasker!
You cannot make bouillabaisse…you are not French!!
I’d really like to try pommes aligot
Fill Let Mig Non
Gigot d’agneau, s’il vous plait.
Escargots à la Bourguignonne.
But, truthfully, I’d eat just about anything soaked in garlic butter.
Are those words?
How can you tell?
Foie Gras.

Bystander sees a snail driving a Tesla Model S pass by on the road says " Boy! Look at that S car go! "
Seriously…Creme Broulee
Savory Crepes. Everything is better in a crepe. It’s also crazy satisfying to watch.
@goldnectar Sweetbread crepes. Mmmmmm.
Like deep fried sticks of butter burritos.
