French food

It is not easy to eat baguette. It can be painful for your teeth. Especially if you only have 25 minutes to eat a 12-inch bread. Chicken, ham, tuna, mozarella, etc, Take your pick.

Mussels. That was what I ate for lunch last wednesday. My colleagues said that it is famous. I was glad to try it. Plus large real french fries. I missed the rice that usually accompanies it in Manila. Surprisingly, it was filling. But then, they were chuncky mussels.

I ate nectarine for the first time (I think) two nights ago. They look like apples but they are soft on the inside. Juicy, sweet and filling!

Rissotto with large shrimps. So rich that I was not able to finish it all. Almost cloying.

To get back at me, the French girl I convinced to eat balut told our friend in France to feed me snails when I meet here. They were delicious! They were baked in persil (in English?), garlic and olive oil. May I say that I am adventureous?

  1. Baguette can be painful for your teeth if it's overdone. I'm not very fond of snails (even with garlic butter). Have you ever tried Croque- Monsieur ? Delicious ! :)
