French Food

A few friends of mine told me about a French café which I should really visit, because it is sooooo good. And because I always listen to my friends, I went there yesterday. But if I listen to my friends, I should really listen carefully, then, of course, I couldn´t remember where this café was at. After one hour wandering around downtown (that was all I remembered) I found it finally.
The French café.
The café looked French (lot`s of French pitures, French music, French little tables, Fench words all around), the food looked French, so I was really exited to eat good old European food again.
I was once in France, living for a week or so with a family. I loved it, especially the food. I ate never that much (good) cheese in a week before, and I was also able to discover Petit Four (see picture), which are wondeful (expensive) little things.
But back to my French experience yesterday. I was there and saw all the wonderful tardes du fromage, that I thought I could try and say what I want in French. And the woman (she was actually French) could understand me (!) and we had a little small talk, which made me really proud.
I sat down, and got my food. It was like a little pie with sweet cheese. I tasted it and it was horrible. Have you ever tasted sweet cheese? You should better not. I thought I would love French food. It took me 5 minutes to find out that I ordered the wrong stuff (I wanted cheese with onion and salad). She obviously couldn´t understand my high-school french too good. I ordered again (this time in English) and I had wonderful food. My day was saved and I have a new favorite restaurant.

But let`s talk a little bit about Fernch food. Doesn`t everybody like it? Okay, I have to admit, frogs and snails isn`t what you think about good food (me either), but they have such a big food culture, that everybody can find something they love. I will just list a few French dishes I can think of in just a second: crêpes, baguette, craissants, ten million different kinds of cheese (brie, camembert, kiri, etc.), tarde, petit four, french wine, canard d´oranges, ...
If you want to know more about french food, there are lots of websites from people, who really know, what they`re talking about. This is for example a nice one, where you can find everything about french food culture even a few recipes

I, for sure, love the French food culture like the rest for their culture, but that`s maybe also, because I´m just really interested in cultures in general (or because I like food).
