Oct.18Sene - Vannes

Authentic French family breakfast

This morning, I'm the owner of the model is the first to know French long staff the right bread.

Previously I've been trying to get through so hard French long staff how to eat bread, or even suspect that France is a snarl steel teeth, or has self-flagellation. Now I know, this is the original bread eaten: first cut the next paragraph, and then a split in two, coated with butter, jam, immersed with bowl of coffee before consumption. The key here is sung coffee Bowl, if you use regular coffee, then you can only have one back. self-flagellation Or you can also use the claw of a soft, it can not praise dipped in coffee.

The ancient city of Vannes

Veronique am to take us to sightseeing Vannes, purchasing food.

Vannes is Brittany's a medium sized city, but in accordance with our standard can only be regarded as a small town. Speaking of Brittany Bretagne name origin, there is a story. In the 6th century a.d., the United Kingdom's Celtic occupation here, known as la Petite Bretagne here, namely, English, Little Britain, "little Britain", the original here also there are many Great Britain historical origins.

This ancient town gave me a very cool feeling, walls outside Terminal stop with all kinds of small yacht, I heard that now many Paris people come here on holiday, there are still here and settling down, passing at the consumer level to pull up.

Today, I would like Paris people come here on holiday, I thought to myself. Because during the weekend, so the city is busy, narrow streets was the crowds, but for older people, are very laid-back look. We also follow the big stream walk, stop to see the need to queue, a little while, basket is almost full, I see a lot of rich local characteristics of wooden wall housing. In one corner, see a young man sitting on the ground, holding a sign says "I'm hungry, please help me, thank you," after his side's crowd seems to have turned a blind eye. One shouldn't appear, as well as the surrounding near reasonable response, very puzzling scene.

Lunch of fish

Steaming is morning bought fish, sprinkle with salt and pepper, taste delicious, very fresh sake.

There are boiled broccoli, according to my taste, if regeneration point, fragile little better. Alas, it was eating a sponge is also too vulgar brackish.

Holiday paradise

Afternoon Frederic took us to a little island resorts: L'ILE D'ARZ.

From the pier to Conlean Island to take a ferry fare 5.60euro, ferry is a blinking an eye, mouth pipe Beaver captain, very naughty cute look.

Because now past tourism season, island upstream people one way only rare, met several young man riding a bicycle, and far away to see several people carrying shotguns in hunting.

The objective should be to seabirds, I guess, while indentation at neck, lest their marksmanship clumsy, let me eat straybullet, it didn't have to play. Later return to Pier found here are rental bike, knew that the car, and enjoy the beautiful scenery, both without tiring yourself (a couple of days ago I was in Paris taking broken leg didn't fully restored yet). The island is very quiet, beautiful House seemed empty closed the door on another sign that write a master's contact telephone number. Originally the House was rented to travel during the peak season the visitors stay a few days. Breathe the smell the sea breeze with Atlantic, walking in the air of fall full yellow leaves country lane, I cannot help but laments: here is the wonderful holiday leisure is located here.

Brittany characteristic cake

Dinner with Brittany special pancake, Frederic show we look at the complete production process, is in fact not very complex.

First, in the pan on bought ready-made buckwheat cake, then sprinkle in buckwheat cake layer of cheese crumbs, then play on an egg over meat scraps, Isaac, and then sprinkle a layer of cheese, bread crumbs into party packages, pan fried within 2-3 minutes, turning during 2-3 times (remember the cake stand up, not the pot stand up well), you can. I looked at is not difficult, just volunteered doing 2, smell, taste delicious but also very good Oh. Believe me this eat ' comments, Yes.

Oct.19Sene

Rainy day air

8: 30 morning, today is a cloudy day.

And Frederic and his son to go to the market to buy Melaine seafood. Along the way, the quiet, fresh air and with the smell of grass and mud, now I understand why many foreigners like early morning run, was afraid of wasting such good environment and air.

In the small town of seafood stalls, Fisherman's big brother helped us pick the 63 oyster, 20 more mussels, good cheap 23euro, Oh.

Back to the home, day falls just a Lek underground Starrs.

Frederic told me that they were here already long time no rain, they are to the rain and happy. Fortunately, I'm going to rest adjustment, otherwise the words would not depressed. Sitting in the living room, and shut up and watch the city decoration and garden magazine, sometimes through the vaulted enjoy housing external water dripping on the rustic scenery, I just don't think about anything, just feel comfortable as a melting of Haagen-Dazs ice cream.

Oyster dinner

Lunch is baked fresh oysters, mussels, grilled chicken, fried potato chips.

The white wine and food matching is near home-grown, notA the label, red wine is the Chateau la Pujade 2000 Corbieres.

Since bought the oyster is live, you need to eat before they open the shell.

Brittany is Oyster's country of origin, even Paris highest restaurant are from here into the goods, Frederic smoothly took out the open Oyster special tools: a short, front-end cocked interception, there is no blade of a knife. Him to show me how to open oyster: left hand pad a towel and squeeze the oyster, and adjust the oyster to the best location, and then right to the tip of edged knife used tilted trying to insert the oyster and together between two flap shell, finally a twist of the wrist, you can add an oyster shell prised open. He is very simple, do it as if it is not too demanding, curiosity special heavy I naturally can't help offered to the string. But when I personally surgeon, only to find that's not so easy as it looks. First, the oyster's shell is not like many shell that is smooth and is composed of layers of similar coral-like fold, so it is not easy to find the top and bottom flap of the gap between the shell, but if your knife find wrong place, it is the flower of much effort is no use, because the shell's strength enough to compete with magnesium alloy helmet. Secondly, don't forget your hands of oysters is one that, in order to avoid becoming a human mouth delicacies of bad luck, of course, it is to use a feed of strength to deadly resistance. Well, correct it, like oysters are mammals, the correct term is it took out eat plankton strength tightly protect the integrity of the enclosure. The result is that less skilled workers level I and 6 oysters to fight and to win glory were to end the fighting, is already a sweat, seem to do now, the remaining 57 will just have to let go easily get Frederic.

Compared to the effort when you open a shell, eating oysters is much more bearable.

Look at those 10 minutes ago I mess of oysters are tranquil listening lying in front of me in the large side plate reveals the most attractive aspect, then I have only one expression: be traveled to the idiot. Taste: well, of course, needless to say, drops of lemon juice, on the extreme refreshing and tasty, with white wine, there is this world cuisine. I probably measured, than I am in Paris restaurant eat well at least 3 cross the street, no, good out of 600 km away. I ate at 20, in Paris but six oysters a basin Oh. That is cool, until now I never recall will drool, uh, paper napkin?

Oh, and mussels, grilled taste good, but and oysters, well, anyone who eats who all know that it can be compared to the first eat crabs, then taste the other dishes, not really fair.

Grilled chicken and Shanghai, with red wine is standard. Their potato head outside a stocky, in soft, brittle than Shanghai KFC's strong. And they can open up a joke "Bretagne Oyster trip" tourism projects with visitors to taste oysters seafood Sene, certain business.

Bretagne dance

In the afternoon, Frederic asked me if interested go see Brittany's traditional dance that is also used to ask me, of course, very willing to open our eyes.

So he took his son Melaine road with me. Brittany has always retain their traditions and language, or even independence movement. It is said that local traditional dance total 200 routine, each region has its own common dozen. Some rhythm to the slow movement is not very complicated. For example, I tried to learn, is everyone looking people on both sides of the hooks of the small finger, along with the beats, across 2 step, from bottom to top arm go 2 circle; then with the beat across 2 step, from top to bottom will arm go 2 rings, action is very simple. A large circle of people stepping on the band's music and dance beats, each person's face is a fine sweat and pure pleasure. More than half an hour jump, some people are already wet t-shirt, head straight up on hot air. At that time outdoor but only 6, 7 ° rainy day Oh.

The cultural exchange between China and France

Gossip, we talk to China.

Because of this wedding couple interested in Chinese culture, also bought several pieces of furniture from China. A cupboard down or when the chairs are in use, look old gray style cupboard full of the glittering and translucent cups and plates of Western-style dishes, do not take in another in harmony. There is also a wood box, this turned into a sofa in front of the coffee table, although some surprising, but deserved, size or just you. Because they had no tea inventory, I gave them the zisha teapot can only display the first deemed temporarily. When I put our Chinese tea in a routine and explain to them the rules, we both agreed that the tea in China than in the United Kingdom, and the tea culture finds that people in the United Kingdom to the Chinese people learn tea culture of stealing the lazy, the playing board.

They gave me the bubble for a glass of special tea, they drank it bubble tea, can help people to sleep.

But I do think refreshing? do different people have different reaction to the fact that tea? strictly speaking it should be a plant's leaves, have a faint aroma, a eucalyptus leaf? don't know, anyway, they explained, I didn't quite understand. But I'm from the foreigners come to China has learned when you face a gracious host sent on you are not familiar with the matter of eating and drinking, Don't Ask, Just Eat. I think this is a guideline, you only have this eclectic mix of different cultures, will it be possible to travel all over the world, eat, otherwise, only good to stay at home.

Sit back and relax?
