food, fabulous food

here's all the foodie pics we took in Montreal/Quebec City... this post's just for you, Mini! i actually took lots of pics of the open air markets and cheese shops, etc but my shaky hands ruined most of them so i don't have anything to show for it. told you, i think i'm getting old.

we ate mostly in patisseries, french bistros, and traditional quebecois restaurants (which is classic french but married with local fare... mostly game). everything was yummy, but now that we're back i think i've had enough of multi-course degustations to last me awhile. *burp*

mmm, that chocolate cake was divine!

some donut fritter thingy with nutella hazelnut spread and powdered sugar... yummy!tarte tatin and blanc mange (creme fraiche should be outlawed)

i think i ate at least 1 crepe a day, sweet or savory...

ooh, a fromagerie. and then i swooned from the ripe fumes.delicious creme glacee... i can't decide if i like this better than gelato, it's all good!

he's eyeing my sauteed seafood when he's got a perfectly good bucket
of mussels'frites himself! (and you wonder why we are both so fat) mmm, sidewalk cafes - we only got to sample a few of the many we saw everywhere we turned.

in case you're wondering why most these pics are of the sweet inclination... we usually forgot to take pictures till the end of the meal when we got a chance to lean back and nurse our satisfied tummies. but for the record, all the other entrees not pictured here were fantabulously delicious (we had lots of duck confit, rabbit casserole, osso bucco, elk, buffalo and other unusual game drowned in lovely sauces of all kinds)...
