Now, the question is, do I return to Nantes on the 27th May, and annoy the baconator once again?, as the la troupe royal de luxe, is putting on a show, if you don't know what the hell I am talking about, have a look at
Hope after watching the video, you can understand why I want to come back to Nantes?

Last night, yet another time I failed to bring my camera, Fredo, Aka "The Baconator" took me out to dinner with some of his friends, we had a traditional French meal, "Raclette" which is basically potatoes, (boiled), on a little hot plate? which you cooked onions/mushrooms and underneath, you heated your slice of cheese up (to melting point) to put on your Potato, (with ham/salami or in my case, mushrooms/onions :) joys of being Vegie)
I am not totally sure if this will work in NZ with our grand arrays of cheeses "Mild Tasty & Edam & Corby" cheddar cheeses...
All and all it was a good night, several bottles of red wine were drunk, I managed to work out one word in atleast 50, with everyone speaking in French...
I went back into town, walked around some more, spending more time looking inside stores, than at outside of them, yes I have a interest in the outsides of the buildings, faces appear to be my new hobbie, I will upload in a later post... they are amazing :) anyway, here is another Church, no one was inside this one, so... free for all me taking pictures! ok, still dosen't compare to the Vatican
Yet another Church

more inside, the server seems to be rejecting the others, but most of the paintings appear to be dirty probably from the candles they are burn't
You can get raclettes, and raclette cheese, in NZ. My sister has one.
ReplyDeleteyes... but you need french raclette cheese for this to be a real raclette! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see that you tried one of our national dishes Chris! You were lucky to get onions and mushrooms because it's usually only served with ham/salami and potatoes!!
yes, my French friend,aka the Baconator! gives me cheek about NZ cheeses, "Mild, Tasty Cheddar Cheese's" Sucks to be Vegie tho...
