News from the front.

We’re in France. We’re getting de-jetlagged. We’ve hit the Louvre (and will be posting a Very Special Mythic Tour later) and consumed something called “Campari” which – as near as I can tell – is iced Lemon Pledge furniture polish in a glass.

As part of my plan to always eat ridiculous, stereotypical foods when visiting Foreign Lands, my first meal was escargot followed by steak tartare:

I’m not sure what, specifically, woke me up at 3:00 AM with what the Hickman refers to as “assouline” and what our buddy Roland calls “Pershing’s Hole,” but I’m inclined to blame the Campari since the tartare and the escargot were both delicious.

    Its good to try new things but I’d have to pass on the steak tartar based on the picture. It looks like a cat vomited it stomach up and had a maggot infestation….

    The one thing I would like to try if I ever headed over that way would be a good street vendors Fish & Chips.

    I would have eaten just the fries and passed on the extra helping of assouline.

    Woops pressed the submit button too fast ;).

    The only raw meat I ever enjoyed is Carpacio, you should try that if you get the chance.
