We know a few things ... like how to get a beer ... and now how to get a cider. Also know meat (viande), mussels (moules), poulet (chicken), poisson (fish)... but after that we don't know what they do with it or how it is being served. And just to confuse us further ... they often use other words ... saummon (salmon ... I guessed that one) but also other varieties of fish, meat etc. Then we are lost.
Tonight Lex opted for moules again, 'cos we mighn't get them as we head further inland. HUGE bowl of moules in cream and wine sauce ... lots of work in eating them ... and he had to give up before the bowl was empty ... about 2 dozen left in the bottom. Such a lot of moules for 11 euros. I ordered salmon ... and was pleasantly surprised with salmon with pasta and a cream and herb sauce. Very tasty!!Last night was another adventure. Lex had a 'gallete' or maybe it is 'galette' ... but it's a savoury crepe ... ham, cheese and egg. I had a salad with 'chevre' in it ... neither waitress was able to tell us what it was (one was French with limited English ... the other is English with very limited French)... chevre is goat. It did have diced meat of some kind in it ... thought it was bacon at the time ... but not sure. Often see goat cheese on menus ... but don't think there was any cheese in it so it's a mystery!!!
Part of the adventure ... getting through each day. Don't seem to have lost any weight, so must be doing OK!! Keep looking for buffet-style ... like we experienced in Hamburg ... but haven't seen any around here. I'm also hanging out for some veges!!! Haven't seen many veges on menus ... well not words that I recognise anyway.
Trying for an early night tonight ...10pm now ... and an early start tomorrow.
