Famous French Food 

What to eat in Paris 

It was on my mind - famous French food - when can I eat it??? These daydreams about French food saturated my thoughts and tastebuds right up until I landed in Paris in June 2008, for my visit to friends and to teach at the Silk Painting Adventure.  I couldn't wait to have my tastebuds tingling with all the flavours I adored!  If you're wondering what to eat in Paris, these photos might help :-)

So is this typical French food?  You bet!  This next croissant below was purchased on a different day - can you see the difference between the shapes of the butter croissants? They do vary from patisserie to patisserie (bakery), and there are always plenty of bakeries to choose from until you find just the right croissant.

In this photo below you might also notice my all time favourite French strawberry jam - the label is Bonne Maman (Good Mother) and the type is "Fraises" - strawberries. Yum!

Below is a photo I took of a Patisserie - a pastry store - isn't it beautiful? Those gorgeous famous French  pastries - oh yum!
