And Then There Was the Food

                 

From London to Paris...we ate.  Not that we planned our whole day around meals...we just made certain we ate them!  So here is a look at some of the meals and snacks we enjoyed!



                                                 Can you say fish and chips!!


Shepherd's Pie at the Sherlock Holmes Pub



For Dessert...Magnum Ice Cream Bars...or Walker's Short Bread Cookies



A picnic at Buckingham Palace included our English "go-to" sandwich
Turkey, Cranberry, and Arugula



Hot Tea...all the time!


There were sweet possibilities everywhere in both countries!





Harrods Food Hall


Awesome Ice Cream Treats at Harrods Ice Cream Parlor




In Paris we went to Angelina's for lunch and Chaud Chocolat and the Mont Blanc Macaroon


Crepes in Paris...okay, french fries too!


Fabulous Laduree Macaroons...enjoyed on that 10 hour flight home!

I didn't take a picture of the fabulous Beef Bourguignon that I had at our London hotel restaurant TWICE!  Also, we went to Wagamama's Noodle Bar the night we went to see Les Mis and had some incredible...noodles!  One night in London we decided we needed some comfort food...so we found a cute Italian Restaurant and ate pasta and planned our next day.  Our last night in Paris was reserved for Le Tour Eiffel.  We tried to get a reservation at the restaurant in the Tower but they were booked.  We ate at a quaint place in Trocadero Square with a view of Le Tour Eiffel.  We had a lovely 2 hour meal complete with huge desserts and coffee too strong to be drinking at 10:00 pm before heading out in the cold rainy night to get a last picture of the grand beauty at night!



 Oh and I can't forget this fun place in Le Quartier Latin...
We had cheese dip and chips and margaritas and burritos! It was the perfect way to spend a couple hours after fighting the rainy afternoon going to Notre Dame and St. Chapelle!  It was also highly recommended by Kaitlynn Moody (just in case you are thinking WHY)!!

I think everyone had their own favorite...mine was the beef bourguignon...but I loved our little picnic with sandwiches and chips and fruit enjoyed while checking out the ladies in their hats going to see the Queen!  Bottom line...we all came home and headed to the gym!!
