The best thing of travelling through France, is the food. The French just know how to cook. We really were in food heaven. At the end of a sightseeing day, we ate very well. Here some examples of our food discoveries:
salmon on vegetables
Choucroute... a very big portion of Sauerkraut with different meat and sausage on top
Choucroute is a specialty of the Alsace and a dish adapted from the German Sauerkraut and Eisbein. We also saw variations like choucroute au poison (on fish) and was also available in glasses.
And of course a dream desert .... amazing chocolate cake a la maison with ice-cream.
The dessert buffet at the hotel.
A good French breakfast, coffe and croissants.
Gugelhupf is famous for the Alsace.
A good wine is a must.
Escargots - snails in garlic sauce
Fish, sander in delicious sauce and with noodles
Creme brulee
A morning in the shopping market: We were amazed at the variety of fish, sushi, cakes, pastry, cheese, bacon, salami, meat of course wine ...
The only problem with French food seems that it's rich and you have to take care not to eat too much :-)
This year I took on the adventure of planting tomatoes on my balcony. I bought a box with six plants. Two of them I planted in a bigger pot and the other four in a flower box (Blumenkasten). The ones in the pot really grew tall and slowly some tomatoes started growing, and grew bigger.
