French foibles: Creme fraiche
Posted by Amanda in French, This-is-Switzerland (TIS) on February 2, 2010
Creme fraiche from flit (http://www.flickr.com/photos/flit/)
For some reason, I assumed that “creme fraiche” was just a fresher, French-er way of saying “sour cream.” Nope. Apparently, it’s akin to “heart attack upon delivery.”
I used it to finish up a yum vegetable and tofu dish last night only to discover this health advisory this a.m.
And I’m no longer feeling *quite* so smug about my healthy cooking.
Next, I’m going to learn that “lardon” doesn’t mean “healthy ham pieces.”
Oh, Paris…
Eating lunch in the Louvre
Favorite things in the city of lights…
- Sugared lemon crepes
- Whipped cream crepes
- Buttered crepes
- People assuming that I could only speak English (no, really, I liked this)
- A man puking on the sidewalk without breaking stride while climbing up a huge hill in an, umm, interesting area
- Cezanne
- Monet
- Degas
- The scam where people pretend to find a “gold” ring on the sidewalk in front of you and then try to give it to you (apparently, Tony looks like their kinda guy)
- Tony’s umbrella exploding in front of the Arc de Triomphe (as in *literally* every piece of his umbrella separated and jumped in front of the insane traffic roundabout — I don’t think it could handle the shock either)
- Shoes
- Marais neighborhood
- Macaroons
Eiffel Tower at night
Least favorite things…
- Fixed menus (onion soup, farm chicken, tarte)
- Tourist traps
- Lines (actually, we skipped them all, but still…)
- Traveling via plane (yes, we were advised to take the train….)
- Latin Quarter restaurants (sorry!!)
- The price of macaroons (kid you not…. 3 euros for each little morsel)
