Edible Delights!

 While here, we decided to take a tour of the most famous fine cuisine of  France. Here the dining experience is elegant and quite different from our traditional breakfast lunch and dinner routine.Here ,before you sit down to eat your fed an appetizer, usually Gougères (bite sized cheese puffs made from choux pastry),Rillettes (made from chopped fish, pork, or other meats that have been slowly cooked and seasoned and served spread on pieces of toast) or Tapenade - A puree of black or green olives, capers, and olive oil that is used as a spread for toast.After,your given a starter,  these are typically
Escargots (snails),Truffes (Tasty black mushrooms that sure are expensive),Quenelles (small log shaped dumpling Made from flour, milk, eggs and many times various meats or fish.).Next you are given  the actual main dish, here we chose from Boeuf Bourguignon ( beef cooked in red Burgundy wine with mushrooms and carrots) , Pot au Feu ( slow boiled beef and vegetables),and  Tartiflette ( a hearty dish of potatoes, bacon, white wine and reblochon cheese). Lastly my favorite part,  DESSERT, here in france nothing gets better than this. We had  Eclairs ( log shaped, filled with pastry cream and usually topped with chocolate) ,Tarte Tatin ( An upside down apple tart that was supposedly first made by the legendary Tatin sisters) and Mille feuilles (Several layers of puff pastry, typically filled with pastry cream).
