Le Nemrod: Paris Pleasures
Paris abounds in咖啡店s。There is one on each and every corner. In yourQuartier,您将有一个喜欢的地方,您亲切地打电话的地方马cantine。您去追求友情和氛围。有时候食物很好,有时不是很棒。但这不是重点。自从附近,你就去了patron用名字打招呼,葡萄酒可以喝……并迅速补充。
With the weather still chilly and damp (which hasn’t thwarted the hordes of people protesting new government work proposals this week in Paris), those of us with cabin fever (who are protesting the outdoors until the weather becomes more hospitable) find that咖啡店s成为闲逛并观看世界过去的理想场所……在五个月的灰色,惨淡的天气之后,击败了室内,而您再也无法接受。除了罢工者外,到处都有其他春天的迹象:树上的小花,长长的内衣被扔出窗户(嗯,也许只是我的),以及当时的乐观的阳光,然后透过灰色的天空凝视。
Going for a walk, I like the idea of stopping for lunch in a咖啡店由于食物通常很简单,价格适中且体面。并与小皮切特红酒,下午确实愉快地漂流了。但最常见的是,如果您订购沙拉,它是可怕的。Afew tired, leaves of wilted lettuce, the omni-present mustardyvinaigrette, tasteless tomatoes, and green beans so limp you can forget any final money shot. Then there’s the final insult: a spoonful of canned corn plopped smack in the middle of the whole mess, impossible to shove aside.
而且不要让我开始谈论一堆太多的米饭La SaladeNiçoise。They should bring back the断头台对于谁提出了这个绝妙的主意。而且,请允许我成为释放手柄的人。
在第六次徘徊时arndissement本周访问最爱从阿格里in the area, we decided to stop for lunch at a咖啡店我听说过,经过了几次,但从未坐下来吃饭。坦率地说,菜单从来没有看起来足够令人兴奋,无法让我想在那里吃饭,而不是附近最喜欢的午餐地点。
但是我们坐了下来,因为那天晚上我在Le Meurice,在梅里斯酒店的Swank餐厅,我想要沙拉。在扫描菜单时,我注意到全部专门用于炸薯条,les frites。我有兴趣的人,确定他们是àMaison, made in-house. So with little convincing, we ordered a plate to share. I decided on thesalade œuf mollet,其简短描述没有公正。
当沙拉到来时,我很高兴发现它几乎完美。每一口都是质地的绝妙启示,对比了咸味的肉和油炸面包块with the perfect ratio of crispness to tenderness. Fresh lettuce leaves topped with enormouslardons, cubes of smoked bacon fried extra-crispy with just a bit of fat to bind the pieces of succulent pork together. Mixed in were cubes ofbrioche,也许是用黄油或培根脂肪扔掉,然后烤至酥脆和牙齿。(我是否已经使用了这个词酥脆吗?一旦拆开,流淌的蛋黄就侵入了一切,将所有酥脆(!)食材融合成一顿华丽且异常美味的午餐。
和炸薯条? No bad at all. They would have benefited from an extra minute in the deep-fryer (What’s up with that? Does anyone really like soft French Fries?) but they were very good and fresh. After a sprinkle ofFleur de sel, they disappearedTout de Suite。
在下一张桌子上,服务员放下了最宏伟的之一槌球在巴黎。(这是我最喜欢的午餐,所以我可以知道。)Le Nemrodis served on a jumbo crusty slab of疼痛poilâne, topped with a smear of béchamel sauce, then a few choice slices of ham and cheese. It arrives at the table still sizzling, the smell of soft, caramelized cheese bubbling away. It made me want to summon up a little bravado and ask for a bite. But I kept my attention digging into my salad but made a mental note to order that next time. And there will certainly be a next time. Any takers?
For dessert we strolled a few blocks toSip,一家专门制作自制冰淇淋的角落咖啡馆,但我听说过他们榛子糊的热巧克力,并渴望尝试一下。
It was good, not great. It wasn’t too thick, nor too thin. It was pretty to look at and went down rather smoothly. I loved the interior, a 70’s palette of pink and gray. Lots of chrome and mirrors and perhaps the goofiest clock in Paris. And being Paris, there was just a smidgen of attitude from the server. As anyone know who lives here, the fun is learning how to win them over and get what you want (…if you’re lucky!)
Back in the drizzle, I headed home, stopping by the pharmacy for a tube oflaprésure((to makehomemade cottage cheese),由于我的口音,他们一直在想我要LA愉悦。
Which I already had that day. Twice, in fact.
