Breakfast

Of course, the croissant is the best and most traditional food you can have on a beautiful french morning. The streets are lined with bakeries selling a whole assortment of delicious baked goods. The best being the chocolate croissant. If you've been living under a rock, a croissant is a flaky roll of bread, usually filled with chocolate or some other tasty spread. It is basically a more elegant doughnut. However there is one major drawback. You're going to need a giant bucket or something to catch all the crumbs these things make. Using a plate or a paper towel to cover your crumbs just won't do the job. It's like trying to clean a spoon by throwing it right under the faucet, the stuff gets everywhere. Of course, maybe you want to keep your American pride, and eat a nice bowl of sugary cereal. Well France has got you covered with a nice box of Cini Minis. It's basically Cinnamon Toast Crunch, except not as cinnamony, if that's a word I can use here. Being a tourist has it's experiences in other countries foods. Especially when it's food that originated from the good ol' US. Because not only do you actually get to eat the food, your mind instantly compares it to what it tastes like back home. I was going crazy on how different the skittles over there tastes. They also come in a container that looks like a jumbo pill bottle, so there's that. Not to meniton, America is the king of sugary and fatty foods. Our tastebuds determine what foods we buy, and that's awesome, in moderation of course. France is a little bit different. They do not have as high of a sweet tooth as ours, and their government has a little bit higher of standards on their foods. helping to explain whey they taste a little bit more bland than in America. For example, their version of Fanta tastes more like carbonated orange juice than actual soda. However, the Cini Minis do it's job just well enough to not have me complain about it.

Lunch

Of course in France, typical foods such as pizza and spaghetti and even big macs and whoppers exist. But you can get that stuff anywhere. You came to France for an experience man, and darn well you should be getting one. That's why when I tried the cheese souffle, I could really feel it connecting to my surroundings. It was a very sophisticated and complex dish, but it still hit the spot, an exact metaphor for the sight seeing of Paris itself. The souffle comes in a dish and is very light and and melts in your mouth, which is weird to say for a lunch item. But none of the less, it was amazing. Like I said before, stay away from the snails man. Unless you truly want to experience it once. It is quite different from any other appetizer I have ever eaten before. First off, you have to hold it using this cup mechanism thing, and while you're doing that, you have to pierce it with a two pronged fork, and pull it out of the shell. It's all green and slimy, and if you look at it too long, you're definitely not putting that thing anywhere close to your mouth. But it doesn't taste bad at least.

Dinner

First off, one problem I have with the french and their "le diner", is the fact that they normally serve it at like 8:00 o'clock. What's up with that? I like my food and I like to eat it NOW. Anyway, for dinner, my favorite was the french onion soup. The french love their soups and they probably love this soup the best because it has French in the title, at least I think so. The soup usually comes with a lot of bread so you have some options on how you want to eat it. You can slurp it with your spoon, just know this isn't a very flattering image, you dirty peasant. You can just go all in and dunk your head into that bowl and chomp down, or you can use the previously mentioned bread to dip it. Anyway, the soup is good, very oniony, very delicious, you get the picture, go out and eat it sometime. It's good.
