Baguettes errday

srsly.

Seeing super hot chicks crushing a whole baguette on their way to work really changed my appreciation of bread.

The fucking basic cafe food crushes the shit out of everything except mid-high tier food in the states.

Example:

We sit down at this joint.

It's close to the AirBnB we rented and we were hungry and didn't wanna metro anywhere.

I ordered duck confit with frites, GF has something else. We order escargot to start because France.

This shit could have been in a magazine.

Fucking crispy skin, incredible texture on the meat, perfectly fried frites.

That was the first fucking thing I ate in France and it wasn't even in the top 10.

[Zetanio]

Don't even get me started on the fucking boucherie, fromagerie situation we had on our street.

Jesus fuck.

[Kalmado]

Sounds like you had a decent experience. Bet you were missing subway breakfast sandwiches the entire time.

Ridiculously good honestly.

See this place. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura...de_France.html

It's a small chain but they have really sick burgers.

But how did you tolerate the Parisians?

We all hate tourists equally. They loved us.

[Salodin]

Do you speak french? I wanna go but that language barrier...?

Everyone under 40 speaks English.

90% of people under 65 speak English at least enough to help you.

If you can do basics, it's fucking easy as shit. I mean super basic, like saying hello and knowing how to ask for the bathroom.

I spoke like 30 words of French before we left. GF speaks like 5th grade French but was so rusty it was hilarious.

[Zetanio]

Also, Google Translate is awesome for menus. Instant translations.

chicken: slow cooker. soy sauce, honey, hoisin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, green onion, sesame seeds. good but next time I'll probably tone down the honey/hoisin or both because it's too sweet. basmati rice as well (oddly enough, my first time cooking basmati rice. it's wonderful)
sweet potato mash: butter, milk, sage, parmesan. fucking godly. I will be bringing this to Thanksgiving after I perfect it.
green beans: soy sauce, garlic, pepper, sesame seeds. blanched and then sautéed. I think I didn't blanch and/or cook them enough because they're a bit crunchy and, more importantly, the dirty/bitter flavor of fresh green beans is still overpowering. or maybe I just don't like green beans; I have literally never made them fresh before.


just for zet, a picture:

I like to slowcook things plain with a little salt pepper and vinegar but that looks p good.

Think about the adobo tho! Gotta put soy in the slow cooker!

[Zetanio]

Sometimes. If I'm making a lot, fuck that. Sauce and serve is easier.

[Kalmado]

I do salt, pepper, garlic powder, chopped onion, some real onion, bay leaves and then soy + vinegar. Low for 6-8 so the magic can happen and then it's mouthwatering good.

it's definitely p good but the sweet potato mash is the real winner here. probably the only thing from this menu that I will absolutely 100% make again and soon.
