Here's a blog post just about the food ... https://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com...e-and-pastries
We didn't do as much cycling --I had only 2 wks. and I wanted to experience things more "deeply" instead of just passing by with 100 km. rides every day. When I get to it, I'll post some cycling related pics. I did notice the smaller French cities where we were, had bikeshare system.
Great pictures and commentary! Your experience sounds very similar to mine, when I have been in France, Spain, and Portugal.
What a lovely trip and a beautiful post. As much as I love Portland, I think it would be grand to live over there. So much history and the diversity of food. The large pork dish you mentioned in the blog sounded like Schweinhaxe. It's a BIG chunk of pork for manly man sized portion.
Really loved the blog. I wish I could be there. "Guten appetit"
:)
I did find the restaurant food that we had in Spain and France, on the saltier side. Actually at home, I don't have salt. I have about 1/4 c. for making dough. I use just soy sauce or I don't use any when I cook.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
Nice write up of what sounds like a wonderful adventure in travel and food! It made me miss home…
…..and Alex thanks you for the blueberry Flaugnarde I made today because of my reading it. :)
Sounds like a thin pizza (flufflier) but sweet. Glad for memories. Does your region of France have different type of cuisine?Quote:
