But first an afternoon stroll down the river (pub)

They were fresh an perfectly dressed Mr Buttons
Unlike the last time we visited a British Pub Chain which served a frozen chip in my salad
Each to their own I suppose

@Armytwowheels enjoy your meal with the Belgian escapees. Because Mr. & Mrs. C are eating in tonight maybe you could do a GTB.

Are the French losing their resolve? Putting the grape variety on the label...

I've seen it before but it was unknown I think in days of yore.


Edit: It seems they use Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon in Touraine.

I'm not persuaded even the French like them. Just roadkill stuffed into an old garden hose.

Disgusting! we had one on our first trip to France and it put us off trying any of their other suausages for ages.

That's what I normally say
Except when trying Pigs Trotters and Tripe in Spain
And Calves Head in France

Suggestions?
If you get to Valencia, and visit the main market...

We didn't realise until too late that some of the cafes / restaurants just outside offer to cook for you whatever you've bought at the market.

We will definitely try this next time!

I think you will be coming back too early to sample this Murcian(?) delicacy? :

The pasta shells are lovingly stuffed with Italian sausage, spinach and ricotta and smothered in a rich tomato sauce, before being crowned with mozzarella and Parmesan (Regiano)

I might even put up with a manual gearbox for an oven that efficient

I am salivating, Mrs C must be a super dometic Queen.
Are you expecting guests. You will be cheesed off after eating all that.

Should I consider that as a firm offer David ?
Plus we've got a sensuous Island Bed with sufficient room to sit up and have tea in the morning
