Christine in Strasbourg, France

I learned yesterday that after you eat a 7 course lunch, you do not have to eat again for the rest of the day.  Good to know.  But first, a mountain view picture from the drive.

Back to eating.  I ate the tasting menu at Restaurant Buerehiesel, my first 1 star restaurant in France.  This time I took the menu with me so that you could know what I ate.  Of course, it is in French.  So I will kindly translate.  You are welcome, my 2 followers.  It include:

-Blue lobster jelly and roasted tomato tartare of beef heart coriander
-Fried frogs legs
-Roasted sea bass with fennel mousseline has olive oil and shellfish swimming
-Apple sweetbreads sautéed boletus Rhône-Alpes meuniere capsvinegar veal jus
-Bareges lamb roast, shoulder confit with chermoula, hummus, artichokes in oil and juice of sweet spices
-Plateau de fromages (cheese platter-just sounds better in French so I'm keeping it as such)
-Strawberry juice reduces Alsace capricette, verbena ice cream 


I enjoyed my 2 1/2- 3 hour lunch.  And a special thanks to my mom for buying me the French guide book.  It's how I found the place.  Very useful present.


The Restaurant:

Some pictures of buildings in Strasbourg, France (last time you received photos of Notre Dame, so I refrained this time):

And finally, a sheep herder in the rain.  I'm not making this up.  This is what happens in Europe.  We may not have had a small hurricane, but we did get a sprinkle in Germany.
