Second Chance Idol Sudden Death: Open Topic

My fiancé doesn’t fit the French stereotype. In fact, until I started coming around, he never bought baguettes. Like, how is that possible? You have some of the best bread in the world at your disposal - there are literally boulangeries every few steps. They’re like Starbucks for bread. And you never have one at home? How is this even possible? Are

What about meats? Do they not have steak, ground beef, etc?

We’re both vegetarian 😂

this made me so hungry. >.<. and it's so fun! i was in paris a bunch of years ago and had cassoulet, which was DELICIOUS but i think it has bacon in it and you said you're vegetarian, so... probably not the right suggestion. it's white beans and I can't remember what else, besides bacon. i love raclette, tho. and bread. and cheese. (but I too prefer not to drink my dinner. I have a great chicken soup recipe that my grandma used to make, but I can't eat it unless there's stuff in it.)

>>and found out that the French don't think cheddar is cheese<<

*gasp!* brits and vermonters (and probably wisconsinites) everywhere just fell over in shock. of course cheddar is cheese! hmph, france, hmph. how disappointing.

Mmmmmm, bready goodness. For a little while we had some French climbing friends studying here that climbed with us and they had the best climbing food tradition! It was a giant loaf of hearty bread baked special for the weekend trip, known as “big f$&@ing bread.” It kept well, and tasted awesome with cheese or jam or avocado and a few handfuls of salty nuts. And it was really fun to keep referring to it as the big f$&&ing bread all weekend. I love reading your joy at finding new customs in France.

I should have been born French for as much as I love baguette! I once devoured a whole baguette on my own after Passover because I went without bread for 8 days. I want to just walk around all day and eat baguette (especially with cheese)! :D
