| Hot Chocolate in Bayonne |
A week in southwest France and I'm full as can be. Yummies encountered:
- Jambon de Bayonne: the texture of prosciuto but the taste is not bitter; it is so much better.
- Tapas: the bars around Biarritz and Bayonne served tapas in the early evening. They would line the bar with platters of little things like bread with jambon or olives etc and you just fill a plate and pay something like 1 euro each.
- Mojitos and Caipirinhas were everywhere along the shore.
- Gateaux Basques: a little dense cake with soft gooey inside. Not too sweet; just right.
- Juaroncon wine! They only export 10% of their wine so we can rarely find it at home.
- Great seafood: gambas (enormous prawns), oysters, moules, white fish, salmon tartare
- Crazy, crazy Hot Chocolate: one rich sweet drink in Bayonne and one very spicy one in Pau
- Best. Fries. In. The. World. homemade at Cafe Miquel, eaten with infused rum.
- Cafe Au Lait: here they don't serve the milk in the coffee; instead they give you a pressed cafe and a little creamer filled with warm milk for you to pour in yourself. Sooooo goood.
- And of course some favorites: moules, pate, escargot, panini, foie gras, baguettes, cafe, and croissants.
