As much as I'm indulging in all my favorite local food, I know this was bound to happen, a craving for French food. The other day I lamented on Facebook that I can't get over how expensive wine & cheese are over here.
A bottle of Vin de Pays here cost $25 whereas in France, I buy them for under 4 euros. Not that I could now that I'm working, I no longer have my one glass of wine every meal. In any case, it's a bad idea to drink during lunch on a work day. I tried that 2 weeks ago - I could barely stay awake after that.
Sorry I digressed. Even The Girl who has so readily accepted the local food, asked if I could cook "something French" for her. And so I did. The first thing I did was cauliflower gratin & then a few days later when I came across French sausages (fresh not the dried ones like lap cheong) in the supermarket, I grabbed them.
Here's our home sick meal of fried French sausages served with mashed potatoes & eggplant gratin.
