Food wise, I guess I must have an uneducated pallate!<br /><br />However, fresh mackerel barbecued outdoors, that I can relate to in a mouth watering way! I do like my fish.<br /><br />Infact Patricius, you've put me in a fishy mood just reading this but Sunday is the only day I don't seem to eat fish, funnily enough. Maybe tuna or salmon sarnies for tea though, with cucumber soaked for ages in vinegar(or marinated beforehand for the culinary linguistic) and buttered bread to hold it all together.<br /><br />As you can tell, I am hungry as I type!<br /><br />Look forward to more tales from the campers perspective too. I keep threatening to go camping, but the dampness and the age of my bones is putting me off haha! Mindyou, as long as I am not too far from a cup of tea and some sort of chair for occasional repose (and to check me auld blog!), I am happy.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962374096401238994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228060262630467486.post-71110507230792241982011-07-30T21:46:00.815+01:002011-07-30T21:46:00.815+01:00Shadowlands, thanks for your appreciation.
As to...Shadowlands, thanks for your appreciation. <br /><br />As to food; We mostly ate at the campsites- Steak au poivre...Magret du canard...barbecues...which I cooked! I am somewhat embarrassed to report that we mostly ate quite modestly and cheaply with me doing the cooking apart from buying freshly cooked frites. I really love shopping for food in France whether in a market or hypermarche. One of the high points of the holiday for me was buying fresh mackerel at the Poissonerie Municipale in Le Treport on the Friday before we headed home and which I barbecued. My mouth waters at the memory! We did eat out on our last day, however, when I had "Entrecote Cowboy" at "Buffalo Grill! But more on food perhaps later.Patriciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906131174326742939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228060262630467486.post-82339590055847845972011-07-30T08:29:01.126+01:002011-07-30T08:29:01.126+01:00Wonderful!
