Visions of Julia Child

For Joyce, Joel, and Nancy and all the gourmands, here is a presentation of a typical French dinner we had at La Fleuray.  We promise to feature more repasts in the future in the blog, since dining is a major activity here.  For this meal the amuse bouche was shredded duck accompanied by onion straws avec un sauce bien sur.  The next course was so large we thought it was the main course, but it was only the entreé (appetizer).  It was a huge casserole of sardines topped with a blue cheese crumble mixture partnered wtth a brushetta of vegetables, sausage and cheese.

Following came the plat or main dish.  We both selected different fish dishes.  Barbara's was rolled with all sorts of things, and Ron's was accompanied by apples in liquor.



By this point we were doubting if we could possibly consume the dessert.



Never fear - we were able to indulge in a chocolate milkshake with a brownie topped by a cream roll with pink macarons positioned at each end.  A typical delightful dinner in Amboise.


Bon Appetit nos amis.
