That doesn't mean that the French don't have good bread. They wanted us to be so unhappy with France that we'd stay away forever after??? Probably. Do you think it was personal? Inasmuch as I was fairly anonymous in a group of Americans, and there were some other goodies like downgrading our first accomodations from a hotel on the beach to a B&B across town from it and the planned activities, I think it was more likely the nationality. 8-) Your nationality? They must have been picking on you, because I have always eaten well, often too well, in France, even in a FF6/night for half board Paris hostel. I don't recall any French person being rude to me. A customs official in New York was once very rude to me, despite my diplomatic visa, but I never considered him as being typical. I've avoided mentioning American bread. Everyone in the group was served the same food. I don't mention American bread, either. I bake my own. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist with iPad |
