I don't know if you're like me, but when I visit a foreign country, even if I love the food they make - and God knows that Thai food is really good - I begin to miss the food I'm used to! What I miss the most? French bread and more precisely crispy baguette which you can only find in France. Cheese also, is something I miss pretty quickly when I travel. That's why today, I stuffed myself with all this in a restaurant near my house ;-)
Now that you're upright, welcome home. To tell the truth, I have never missed American food when I'm in France. But maybe I just haven't stayed long enough. I must correct that one of these days.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe, because there are enough Mc Donald's, Subway, Burger King... in Paris ;-)
DeleteI have to agree with Sasho. I was there 3 years and didn't miss "American" food one bit. Although I'm Mexican American and I did miss arroz, frigoles y tortillas. Basically my Mom's cooking.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhh you Mom's cooking! Don't we all miss that?!
DeleteI suppose for me, missing food I'm familiar with might depend on the kind of cuisine in the place I was going to.
ReplyDeleteTrue! I miss French food much more when I'm in Germany for instance ;-)) (Just kidding!)
DeleteI agree ,Eric,crispy baguette,the real thing, only in France, I love it,and I am not French...I miss my Bretzels too,and I leave Down under now for many years..:-))
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why it seems so hard to make a crispy baguette outside of France I must say.
DeleteWe're just pleased you've let us borrow Dominique Ansel, Eric.
