Meal #71: Lunch

On our way to Annecy, we noticed this cute restaurant that was totally full – always a good sign. We both had the menu of the day. We started with the charcuterie plate- delish! Adam had the beef dish, not sure what cut it was, with a delicious country wine gravy and potatoes. I had some kind of white fish with an herb cream sauce and peas with onions and bacon. All was very simple and good. We then had dessert. Adam had the fromage blanc and I had a chocolate brownie-type cake – both nothing special. Of course we completed the meal with espresso 🙂

Apparently we hit the end of the lunch rush, because the place cleared out very quickly after we arrived (maybe we smell bad?). French restaurants are very strange. They are open from 12 until 2:30 then 7 until 10:30. Don’t you dare try to eat at 3pm or 6pm! 😉

Meal #69: Dinner

I’ve been researching local foods. I found a recipe for Tartiflette, a Savoie tradition! It is thinly sliced potatoes, bacon, caramelized onions, creme fraiche, and white wine, all topped with thick slices of Reblochon.

Reblochon is a cheese that is only produced here in Savoie. To have the Reblochon name, the milk must come from L’Abundance cows that have grazed on summer Alpine flowers and high pastures. We can’t get it in the US because it is made with raw,unpasturized milk. Thanks for protecting us from amazing food, FDA dummies!

Time for Apéritifs! My new favorite is Martini Bianco over ice with a slice of lemon. Wow! Why don’t we drink Vermouth in the US? You must try it!

We packed a pic-nic and hit the road. We had no plan. We just figured we would find a cute place and stop. We were right! We found Brides-Les-Bains, an adorable city on an amazing rushing river with a gorgeous park. Perfect pic-nic place!

We had a delicious crusty baguette with some funky local cheeses – chevrotin and Tomme de Savoie. As well as some green olives and mini buchettes noisettes (mini sausages). After lounging in the sun for a while, we had dessert! YUM! We bought these little delicacies in Chambery – mini chocolate cupcake, mini lemon tart, and a meringue and raspberry sandwich.They were so yummy! I didn’t want to share with Adam 🙂
