Fat Kid Abroad- Paris Day Five: Cheesy Breakfast & Snails

Day five was yet another epic food adventure day.

Started it off right with a home cooked breakfast- monte cristos (left) and croque monsieur (right).  Made by yours truly.  Not bad, eh? 


I came down with a bit of a head cold, so I stayed home for most of the day.  Towards the end of the day, I started to feel better, so I headed out with the rest of the group for dinner.

We tried to go to pub recommended to me by a friend from law school called "The Pure Malt" (link to come)...but alas, it was closed.  We arrived around typical late American happy hour (7pm-ish).  Either they are closed on Tuesdays or people get drinks after dinner (which is pretty late- earliest you can eat at a restaurant is 8pm).  We stumbled into another random brassiere and got super cheap beer with complimentary potatoes.  (Pictures to come.)

We then went on to Chez Papa (link to come)- this place was really, really, REALLY good.  For now I will just post the pictures with limited description, but just take my word: it was DE-LIC-IOUS.  Delicious.  Two stubby, fat kid thumbs up on this place.

Escargot (snails)!!!! It was awesome!


Foie gras.  I'm going to hell for eating this, but god it was so good.  Three different varieties.  


My dish: Rump steak with a blue cheese sauce and potatoes on the side.  


Nick's dish: (need to get the French name) beef stew amazingness with potatoes.  


Caitlin's Dish (Clint ordered the same thing): sirloin with pepper sauce.  


Billy's Dish: "salad" is a loose term for this.  It mostly consisted of meat, bread, and cheese.  


Dessert: creme caramel.
