Bastille market, Tuileries and Jardin du Luxembourg 02/05/23

/ Tangonomad

Off to the traditional Sunday Bastille market today, one of the bigger open markets in Paris and conveniently only one metro stop away or a 15 minute walk. One of the best crepes I’ve had comes from the Breton booth there, and even though my stomach has been out of sorts for a few days I decided that I should have one. Sausage, cheese and a little mustard….yum! Continued on to John R. Favorite wine purveyor and sure enough he was there as well. After that, headed rapidly home for a quick pit stop and then over to the Tuileries for a stroll followed by the Luxembourg gardens and a cup of tea at Deux Magots.

Note how the Galette has been turned over before the addition of the ingredients so that is properly cooked on both sides
After the addition of the ingredients, folding it is cooked in butter on both sides.
The French have many different grades of chickens.

Good sailing day in the Jardin du Luxembourg, something I did as a child as well

  2. Grades of chicken? I had never considered such a thing, regarding chicken as simply…..chicken. Then again, my Japanese son-in-law tells me that there are many different grades of rice in Japan, and I had always thought of rice as simply…..rice. Well, ya live and learn. So tell us about the different grades of chicken and can you taste the difference? I now can when I try good rice, not the stuff you get in a Hawaii plate lunch.
