Biting into a crispy, crunchy baguette whilst strolling down a cobbled path is the picture of a day in Montpellier. Macaroons, a biscuit sandwich of mouthwatering flavour, crunchy outer with a soft, smooth and creamy interior are enjoyed with a cafe(coffee). Other sweets include chocolat au pain(a chocolate croissant) amongst many pastries that titillate my tastebuds. Fresh fruit and chocolate are plentiful and are difficult to resist(if I must).
I have to agree that Cuisse de grenouilles(frogs legs) taste somewhere between fish and chicken and are rather tasty at that. It is my experience that the French care deeply about their food. Each meal has been well-seasoned and gratifying whether fast food from a kiosk or a more extravagant meal.
Crispy waffles were a highlight in Belgium, the syrupy sticky sweetness was absolutely delicious if not toothaching. Amsterdam had scrumptious waffles of its own. Thin wafer-like waffle biscuit sandwiches, filled with a buttery syrup that melts when left resting on your cafe for a few minutes.
I am feeling so hungry now...
