Here comes the weekend and we ventured out for some good French restaurants. We were unable to decide on one place as we were walking around the centre of town for a long time. So hunger got into the way and we decide on this place. As we entered we were surprise to see many customers having shell fish with chips. We were so amazed by it that we decided to order it. We found out thru the menu that it was called moules (or muscles in English). We ordered the entree. They had a choice of bloc de foie gra de canard (roughly translated into fatty duck liver pate) and the salmon. Ordered one of each. The foie gra pate was good. It taste better with some toast.
For info, South of France is famous of Foie Gra with is duck liver. The duck liver is big but as this was pate you don't see the liver as such. They actually force feed the duck until the liver get big enough to be eaten whole. Actual fioe gra is very expensive but during this meal we had the cheaper version.
The moules were ok. I m not much of a fan of shell fish but I try anything the first time. It was a good dinner as we had something that we don't usually have at home.
