RE: Walk with me #3: Strasbourg (France) part two: little things that give spirit to city

in #walkwithme7 years ago

Merci Gretum for this great post on Strasbourg ! Ok you make us salivate with marrons chauds and pain aux raisins, but there is one thing very miummy too in Strasbourg is "choucroute".... Hope you did taste one when you were there !

Sort:  

Oh I know this glorious dish way toooo well :) and I'm still here and will be for the upcoming year and a half ^.^

Alors, je peux t'écrire en français ! Merci pour ton article qui nous fait aimer cette partie de la France qui, je dois le dire, à cause de sa situation géographique, n'est pas une destination préférée des touristes français... bon séjour à toi et ne prends pas trop de poids : a cuisine strasbourgeoise est bonne mais riche !

Oui, je commence enfin à comprendre le français mais malheureusement je ne me sens toujours pas à l'aise pour parler ou écrire :)

Regarding the tourists, it is a mixed feeling. Strasbourg is beautiful and unique place so it is bit sad that it is not that well known. On the other hand since there are not that many tourists it is a pretty calm place to be.
And yes, it is really difficult not to gain more weight! But not particularly because of the Alsacien cuisine, it is more in general because of the wonderful french cuisine and specially sweets! Just <3 it! Really French ladies if someone could tell me how you stay so thin and beautiful while eating all these magnificent backed goods I'd be very grateful :)

tu es donc GOURMANDE ! ha ! ha! I think thin ladies don't even look at those pastries, for only a glance makes you gain weigh ! As for my part, I live in France since 1974 and luckily for me, I don't like sweets ! Ouf ! But I do love wine and cheese... it is NOT better to stay thin.

What a shame that you do not like sweets, but well you are right wine and especially cheese are not better for keeping shape either lol sadly I love all three of them... so it is hard, really hard with so many temptations around!
