French food
These are traditional french dishes, the first one is called escargot. This is snails with garlic butter. They tasted really good, but the texture was like eating an eraser! Super chewy. When the snails are served they come in the shell, with a special kind of pliers to hold onto them. They also come with a small fork to reach into their shell to get them out. We all had to try one, and then I ate chicken (the 2nd picture). I didn't want a whole plate of snails!! Another meal we had was called foix gras (it is in the back of the third picture) which is duck liver pâté mixed with some spices and rolled in a pastry. It is served cold with a kind of apple sauce. My Dad ordered that. We have also had crepes. A man made them on the street, and we had our choice of lemon and sugar, Nutella and bananas, chicken and cheese, or any other thing you could think of putting on them, we chose the ones I named, they were really good. One of the things I convinced my parents not to order for us to try was frogs legs..... I didn't think I would be able to eat them!

Oh mon dieu - I can't believe you didn't gobble up some la grenouille (frogs legs). You guys certainly are adventurous though - you've really embraced the French cuisine! Bon voyage!
