Just found out now, when going through champagne country area in France, he had:
a glass of the bubbly, along with a magret du canard (duck breast, I need the dictionary here..) which was very lean and delicious. Les haricourts ( green beans) that came with a butter and garlic sauce.
Appetizer was fois gras which was also lean and delicious. ("Lean?" He must have been hallucinating.)
Before he left, I told him not to be an idiot to have sushi/sashimi in Europe.
He should be taking every advantage of local cuisine.![]()
