The best pizza we ever had!At this little pizzeria in the Cinque Terre, we had the best pizza ever. I was very interested to learn that when you order three toppings (mine were mozzarella, pesto, and tomato) you get one on each  third of the pizza! The crust  was the perfect combination of crispness on the outside and tenderness on the inside. I didn't have much problem putting the whole thing away!
 

 

    

Haggis!After months of swearing he would not do it, just a few days in Scotland, and there he was, forking it in! Traditionally, haggis was served still in the sheep's stomach, where the heart, liver, lungs, etc. were boiled along with some oatmeal and spices. Today, our hostess at the our bed and breakfast explained, it is a much tamer concoction.  
   
     
    
 

Fish and Chips

 

Well, you can't go to London and not eat Fish and Chips, so Day 2 found us at Shakespeare's pub, a recommendation made by Royston, our Big Bus tour guide.  It wasn't bad with a bit of malt vinegar poured over it, and it provided enough sustenance for a cold rainy day of London sightseeing.
 
 
 

 

Bosquet Cafe in ParisIn general, I didn't personally find much to say for Paris  restaurant/cafe food. But Cafe Bosquet had what has to be the most delicious blue cheese dressing in the world.  Huge crumbly chunks of blue cheese generously cover the salad, and a creamy sauce combines to form  world class salad dressing!  I didn't get a salad the first night, but sopped up Brian's dressing with my baguette. We went back another night specifically for the salad.
