The French invented ketchup, but not the tomato based kind we use. It was sort of boil fish heads, kind of.
I have not had any luck with beef in France. There is some good beer in Alsace, which is French at the moment. Chocolate? Yup. The surprising thing to me was French mustard. It's an art there, especially by Miele.

I had lamb belly that was prepared with a barbecue, of sorts, sauce that had whole mustard seeds throughout. It didnâ€t suck. The mustard seeds mostly added texture as they were devoid of flavor. I donâ€t know how the chef accomplished that.

I think Barcelona would be my favorite European city that I've visited. I like Lyon also.
We did a lot of walking in Barcelona.

Never been to Spain.Â
Iâ€ve been to Oklahoma, they tell me I was born there.

But you really donâ€t remember? And now youâ€re in Arizona, what does it matter.

The food choices in other countries tend to diminish my desire to travel to them.....lamb belly? seriously? who eats that?
Speaking of Arizona, we took a great side trip out of Winslow, down 87 thru the Tonto Mountains(Louis L'Amour wrote about this area) to Tonto natural bridge State Park. Beautiful area and vast changes in temp and surroundings. back up to Camp Verde, over to 89A and up another fantastic drive(2 lane) with beautiful terrain.
