Bah!

This is the main courtyard at Versailles. Notice the sky. It's going to rain any time soon. What a lot of people! And- would you believe it?- this showcase of French culture has only one eatery on site and all it serves is American fizzy pop, cold pizza and pre-packed sandwiches.

We ate really well in France- nothing spectacular , just honest, unpretentious French cuisine. It's as though the French just don't know how to cook badly.

And then there's Versailles....

I'm glad you enjoyed good food elsewhere, though!

The food was great. We didn't eat anywhere remarkable- just random bistros and our own not very wonderful hotel- but the standard was so much higher than you'd get in comparable establishments in Britain.

I know what you mean. I feel that way about Peruvian food as opposed to American stuff. ;) Not much of a fan of British stuff, either, but I haven't had enough to really say. Love, love, love having tea, though.

British food has improved a lot since I was a kid- but mainly because we've imported so many ideas from abroad.

Same with Peruvian food, I'll admit. But we had a good base without the fusion. It's only an added blessing! I can't wait to hit Europe again.
