Do French eat snails and frog legs? It’s a well known fact that Frog’s legs and snails are a French delicacy and have been for centuries. Well, they remain on the menu today but go hand in hand with some other gloriously delicious dishes too.

No one ever told you not to believe everything you read on the internet? I'm French, I know better

@Albert1434 How dare you talk about eating frog's legs! You need to consider @bignick's feelings! 

Though, our resident froggy hasn't been around in quite some time.

I've finally step foot into that little tea shop last time I was in Amiens and they have such a nice selection. There are samples in little cups with glass bells on top which you lift to your nose to smell. I bought the Geisha tea (green tea with cherry-blossom) for my brother's birthday.

 The classic French Dip Sandwich is a hot sandwich boasting tender thin slices of beef layered on a long French roll, often with melted cheese, then dipped in a flavorful sauce made from the pan juices called  “au jus,”  French for “with broth” or “with juice.”

 

As usual Albert you are making me very hungry.  This is at least a recipe that I can easily make here.  I have a great French baker living near my place.  He makes the best sourdough French rolls.

Ok so I'm going to reveal a big big secret to you now..

  Hide contents

Real French people do not eat frogs or snails. It's a legend we tell around to make stupid tourists eat them  then we laugh at them for being so credulous

 

Ding, ding, ding! Clo dearest, You said the magic words for today!  Mom bought me this 33 rpm record when I was 11 or 12.  "Only for Americans" is one of my favorite songs from the Broadway musical.

Also a delicacy here in Thailand baked, stewed or grilled with some spicy sauces.

I didn't say you can't, I said it was a tourist trap  and you've just proved it all those restaurants are in Paris aka the tourists attraction

[raven1]

Hey Clo! The song I sent is almost as old as I am.  It is amusing because it echoed what you said about tourists.  Hope you like it.

Play the song I sent.  I can just hear you singing this message in the same way.

Hey bonjour Mister T!  the song was really nice to listen to, thanks for introducing it to me. I love how an old song still resonate today. 

How are you and Aod?

We are doing well.  Yesterday and today are Buddhist holy days.  Aod went to the temple yesterday, and we hosted dinner for a few friends last night.  Both days are no alcohol days so bars and clubs are closed and none of the stores can sell alcohol.  Of course, Friday they will be out in force in the bars.

Yayo update: So the entrance of the laundry room only has a curtain instead of a door. The curtain is supported by a rod that is only held in place thanks to friction and Newton's 3rd Law of Motion. And that rod will remain there as long as you don't add a strong enough downward force, like say pulling down on the curtain...

Anyways, yesterday morning, Yayo decided the curtain looked like a fun toy to play with, so he began clawing and pulling at it and lo and behold, the rod was dislodged and came crashing down beside him, which gave him quite the fright judging by his puffed up tail. Now, you'd expect any kitten would learn from this and not play with the curtain again, but not Yayo... no, this morning he again played with the curtain and once again the rod came crashing down and gave him another fright just like yesterday.

Maybe the lesson will stick this time.
