Today Liz and Michal went to some Polish friends’ fabulous
(so I hear) home in the 18th arrondissement for lunch and an
afternoon visit. I was invited but I had
“stuff” to do (don’t’cha know), so I stayed in my ‘hood. It was a drizzly day so I didn't feel like venturing too far from "home."
So I popped around the corner for a quick lunch at La Salle
a Manger ("The Dining Room") on Boulevard Pasteur. For 27
euro (about $38) I got a large slice of foie gras sandwiched between two halves
of a puff pastry “bun” with warm apple & raisin compote, a perfectly cooked skate wing over
a bed of carrots & green beans with some very tasty boiled potatoes and topped with salmon roe & herbs and
sitting in a pool of wonderful fish stock enhanced with raspberry vinegar, a glass
of a lovely Côtes du Rhône, and a terrific espresso with a cookie.
