hamburgers in france

Please read marcia’s account of eating a plate of raw hamburger meat:

Last night, being the daring traveller that I am, I decided to try steak tartare. I think that because of the name, I expected raw steak, raw steak which seemed not so bad in the scheme of things, when considering how much I eat steak rare to the point that its only brown on the outside. Besides, I’m gutsy. I’ll try anything once. When in Rome?

go to teenybooks for the rest

oh little mars, glad you could join us for dinner. I wish you didn’t drink so much of our wine though.

I asked for a bottle of Bordeaux and just crossed my fingers hoping that it wasn’t the 60 € (90 us) bottle. And instead of asking how much it was before i ordered the second bottle (i tried but failed) i just asked for another and again hoped it wasn’t super expensive. turned out to only be 18 €.

    wow…did she actually eat it though? steaks done rare are good, but that’s a whole different game altogether.

    Wow, they call that a burger? What, the cook quit in the middle of making it and they served her that, lol? When in Paris, can’t really say I was even inclined to try a burger but what I personally found interesting was that there happen to be more Italian restaurants around the actual French ones.
